Proper functioning of an organism requires cells and tissues to behave in uniform, well-organized
ways. How this optimum of phenotypes is achieved during the development of …

Vertebrate tissues exhibit mechanical homeostasis, showing stable stiffness and tension over
time and recovery after changes in mechanical stress. However, the regulatory pathways …

RALY is a member of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins, a family of RNA-binding
proteins generally involved in many processes of mRNA metabolism. No quantitative …

Dicer controls the biogenesis of microRNAs (miRNAs) and is essential for neurogenesis.
Recent reports show that the levels and substrate selectivity of DICER result in the preferential …

A large number of microRNAs (miRNAs) are grouped into families derived from the same
phylogenetic ancestors. miRNAs within a family often share the same physiological functions …

RALY is a member of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein family (hnRNP), a large
family of RNA-binding proteins involved in many aspects of RNA metabolism. Although …

Foodborne illness due to bacterial pathogens is increasing worldwide as a consequence of
the higher consumption of fresh and minimally processed food products, which are more …

Background information The ribonucleases (RNases) constitute a heterogeneous group of
enzymes, which exert diverse and specific biological functions. Several RNases have been …

Virgin females of many species conduct distinctive behaviors, compared with post-mated
and/or pregnant individuals. In Drosophila, this post-mating switch is initiated by seminal factors…

The survival and reproductive success of animals depends on the ability to harmonize their
external behaviors with their internal states. For example, females conduct numerous social …
