WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) transcription factors are plant-specific members that characterized by the presence of a homeodomain. It has been shown that WOX members regulate several aspects of plant development, but the biological functions of this CsWOX gene family remain largely unknown in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). In this study, we identified and characterized 11 putative CsWOX genes in cucumber, which are also divided into three major clades (e.g., the Ancient clade, the Intermediate clade and the WUS clade). Expression pattern analysis revealed tissue-specific expression patterns of CsWOX genes, including that CsWOX9 is mainly expressed in developing fruit and also has lower expression in tip and axillary bud, which was further confirmed by in situ hybridization assay. Moreover, overexpression of CsWOX9 in Arabidopsis led to increased branches and rosette leaves, and shorter siliques. Together, these results indicated that CsWOX members may regulate cucumber growth and development.

Objective: Approximately 20% of familial cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are caused by mutations in the gene encoding superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). Epidemiological data have identified traumatic brain injury (TBI) as an exogenous risk factor for ALS; however, the mechanisms by which TBI may worsen SOD1 ALS remain largely undefined.
Methods: We sought to determine whether repetitive TBI (rTBI) accelerates disease onset and progression in the transgenic SOD1 mouse ALS model, and whether loss of the primary regulator of axonal degeneration sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1 (Sarm1) mitigates the histological and behavioral pathophysiology.

In the last decade the important role of small non-coding RNAs such as micro RNAs (miRs) in gene regulation in healthy and disease states became more and more evident. The miR-200-family of miRs has been shown to play a critical role in many diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders and could be potentially important for diagnosis and treatment. However, the size of miRs of about ~21-23nt provide challenges for their investigation.

Family with sequence similarity 20 C (FAM20C) is a Golgi protein kinase that phosphorylates the serine residue in the S-x-E/pS motif of target proteins. FAM20C phosphorylates most secreted proteins, which play important roles in multiple biological processes, including cancer progression, biomineralization, and lipid homeostasis. Numerous studies have documented the potential contribution of FAM20C to the growth, invasion, and metastasis of glioma, breast cancer, and other cancers, as well as to the mineralization process of teeth and bone.
