Little is understood about the complex process of synovial joint formation in early limb development. It has been shown that versican is highly expressed in the extracellular matrix of these joints (Snow et al., 2005; ...

Plant growth and development depends on the activity of meristems, pools of stem cells that generate leaves and other organs. Maize (corn) produces two inflorescences, the tassel and ear, which are patterned by a series ...

Extensive studies have implicated a myriad of functional roles for prolactin (PRL) and prolactin receptor (PRLR) across a variety of adult vertebrate species. However, much less is known about the physiological role(s) of ...

Maize produces two inflorescences, the tassel and the ear, that are essential for reproduction. Both inflorescences arise from similar inflorescence primordia and are patterned largely by the same developmental regulators. ...

Little is understood about the complex spatial and temporal molecular interactions necessary to form a fully functional synovial joint. Understanding molecular pathways and signaling within the developing joint continues ...

Apoptosis is a naturally occurring process during animal development required for the programmed killing and removal of injured cells. Cellular insult induces a switch in translation that allows for the rapid synthesis ...
