The gene associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) encodes a membrane-associated, N-linked
glycoprotein called CFTR. Mutations wem introduced into CFTR at residues known to be …

Since the publication of the first edition in 1966, Eye and Brain has established itself
worldwide as an essential introduction to the basic phenomena of visual perception. Richard …

In 2002, world leaders committed, through the Convention on Biological Diversity, to achieve
a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. We compiled 31 indicators to …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a growing family of small non-protein-coding regulatory genes that
regulate the expression of homologous target-gene transcripts. They have been implicated …

MicroRNAs are important regulators of gene expression that control both physiological and
pathological processes such as development and cancer. Although their mode of action has …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are generated by a two-step processing pathway to yield RNA molecules
of approximately 22 nucleotides that negatively regulate target gene expression at the …

RNA interference is implemented through the action of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC).
Although Argonaute2 has been identified as the catalytic center of RISC, the RISC …

Based on the premise that perception is a continual series of simple hypotheses about the
external world which are built up and selected by sensory experiences, this book explores in …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of gene expression. Amplification and overexpression
of individual 'oncomiRs' or genetic loss of tumour suppressor miRNAs are associated …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in development, and dysregulation of miRNA
expression has been observed in human malignancies. Recent evidence suggests that the …
