Cloning of human keratolinin cDNA: keratolinin is iden- tical with a cysteine proteinase inhibitor, cystatin A, and is regulated by Ca2+, TPA, and cAMP. J Invest Dermatol. 1997; 108: 843-847. PMID: 9182808Takahashi H,Kinouchi M,Wuepper KD,Iizuka H.Cloning of human keratolinin cDNA: ...
and it found that those sections of DNA were about 95% similar.2Given that there are roughly3.2 billionbase pairs in the human genome, it is clear that such a comparison, while better than that done by King and Wilson, is still such a tiny sample that you really can’t...
The Epidermis, the outermost layer of skin comprised mainly of keratinocytes, acts as a physical barrier and is replaced every few weeks by resident stem cells residing in the basal layer6,7. Cultivation of human keratinocytes in vitro was first achieved using 3T3 feeders8and is now enabled wit...
17. Every slave master thought they were doing the black man a favor. Nigra can't take care of himself, so we'll put him to work. Give him four walls, a bed. We'll civilize the heathen. I'll tell you what, stop doing us favors. If you're right and we end up back in the ...
interaction between height and waist circumference: the presumed benefits of being taller are waist-dependent, and affect taller people more than shorter individuals. If health and genetic quality cues play an important role in human mate-choice, and height and waist interact to signal health, its...
A2020 articlein Nature magazine in July described how CRISPR gene editing caused “chromosomal mayhem” in human embryonic cells. Synthetic biology involves altering the DNA of microorganisms such as algae, bacteria, and yeast so they produce compounds like flavors and fragrances that previously have ...
) were enriched in the antennae, and these results were confirmed by detecting the expression of olfactory-related genes with quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Among these antennae-enriched genes, some were sex-biased, indicating their different roles in the olfactory system ofC. nigricornis...
Roughly 90% of the corn, canola, soybeans, and sugar beets grown in the United States have bits of DNA that originally came from a lab. Unless you’ve been eating only foods labeled 100 percent organic — which must be GMO-free — you probably have GMOs in your system now. In a big...
Among all other basidiomycete genomes com- pared, secretory lipases are also highly represented in Malassezia globosa (Ustilaginomycotina), a skin fungus associated with human dandruff and dependent on its host for lipids. Malassezia globosa has an additional gene family expansion associated with ...
Expression in heterologous cells makes it possible to interrogate single ORs and to identify cognate ligands. The cosmopolitan, anthropophilic strain of the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster depends on human resources and housing for survival. Curiously, humans sense the pheromone (Z)-4-undecenal (...
