Imaginal disc cells of Drosophila undergo pattern regulation when part of a disc is removed by microsurgery. I have analyzed DNA replication in imaginal disc cells during pattern regulation using both pulse and chronic labeling with tritiated thymidine. Both types of experiments have shown a local increase in the fraction of labeled cells associated with pattern regulation. In addition I have found that when pattern regulation takes place during chronic thymidine labeling approximately 15% of the cells in a "regenerated" region are unlabeled. Thus DNA replication may not be required for respecification of "positional values" in imaginal disc cells. These results are consistent with patterning information being important in controlling cell growth during normal development.

Background: ARPC1B has been identified as a key regulator of malignant biological behavior in various tumors. However, its specific role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains poorly understood. This study aims to evaluate the influence of ARPC1B on the prognosis and disease progression in ccRCC patients.

Background: Almost all multiple myeloma (MM) patients will eventually develop disease that has relapsed with or become refractory to current therapeutic regimes. However, the pervious clinical parameters have been proved inaccurate for defining MM relapse, and molecular targets have become the focuses of interests. Prognostic predictions based on molecular targets have been more effective to this day.

The scientific discipline of endocrinology has been invaluable to our understanding of the estrous cycle. In the second half of the twentieth century the development of immunoassay technologies provided a rapid and sensitive method to quantify circulating concentrations of reproductive hormones and relate them to stage of the estrous cycle and physiological status of the animal. Ovarian ultrasonography provided the ability to track the growth and regression of ovarian structures within the same animal across the estrous cycle in real time and, in combination with hormonal profiling, accurately identify mechanisms regulating the estrous cycle and early pregnancy.

Deltamethrin (DM), a broad-spectrum insecticide, is widely used in the world. It can exert direct action on the central nervous system to produce neurotoxicity. Exposure to DM can lead to iron metabolism disorder, oxidative stress and learning and memory dysfunction.

Introduction: Nakaseomyces glabratus is considered a high priority of attention according to WHO, and also is an important yeast species due to its high rate of intrinsic/acquired resistance against fluconazole. This study aimed at the possible mechanisms of action of thymol, as the promising new antifungal agent, in N. glabratus.
