Homeobox genes are best known for their crucial role in early animal development. New work by Decembrini et al. now provides evidence that homeobox proteins can work as effectors of a cellular clock ...

As far back as the 19th century it was apparent to some biologists that a simple, repeated pattern underlay the differing body structures of animals. It could be seen in the segmented bodies of worms, ...

Overcoming chemotherapy resistance in patients (pts) with chemotherapy-failure, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with sorafenib. Background: Identifying aberrant activity of developmental ...

Molecular gene expression profiling to predict the tissue of origin and direct site-specific therapy in patients (pts) with carcinoma of unknown primary site (CUP): Results of a prospective Sarah ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We have isolated two genes, Hox-2.8 and Hox-2.9, from the mouse homeobox cluster Hox-2, located on chromosome 11. A 120-kilobase yeast ...

Scientists find HOXB13 mutation in 3.1% of men with early-onset, familial prostate cancer. Investigators have identified a germline gene mutation that appears to markedly increase the risk of ...

We have screened a cDNA library prepared from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. VFNT Cherry) shoot tips for homeobox-containing clones. The isolated cDNA clone THOM1 (tomato homeobox gene 1) ...

Every horror flick fan knows to never underestimate a blob. Now, scientists working with comb jellies have learned the same lesson. Within the transparent ooze of the gelatinous animal, researchers ...
