Dosage of Fgf8 determines whether cell survival is positively or negatively regulated in the developing forebrain.
FGF8 is known to be an important regulator of forebrain development. Here, we investigated the effects of varying the level of Fgf8 expression in the mouse forebrain. We detected two distinct responses, one that was proportionate with Fgf8 expression and another that was not. The latter response, which led to effects on cell survival, displayed a paradoxical relationship to Fgf8 dosage. Either ...
متن کاملPredicting whether multiculturalism positively or negatively influences White Americans' intergroup attitudes: the role of ethnic identification.
Multiculturalism, or the belief that racial and ethnic differences should be acknowledged and appreciated, has been met with both positive reactions (e.g., decreased prejudice) and negative reactions (e.g., perceptions of threat) from dominant group members. The present research proposes that multiculturalism can either positively or negatively influence White Americans' intergroup attitudes de...
متن کاملThe Drosophila Caspase Inhibitor DIAP1 Is Essential for Cell Survival and Is Negatively Regulated by HID
Drosophila Reaper (RPR), Head Involution Defective (HID), and GRIM induce caspase-dependent cell death and physically interact with the cell death inhibitor DIAP1. Here we show that HID blocks DIAP1's ability to inhibit caspase activity and provide evidence suggesting that RPR and GRIM can act similarly. Based on these results, we propose that RPR, HID, and GRIM promote apoptosis by disrupting ...
متن کاملWhether sports participation is healthy or detrimental for the individual is a matter of dosage
That regular strenuous physical exercise is an excellent, effective and ‘cheap’ method in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease has been well established. Even in the presence of cardiovascular risk factors and/or cardiovascular disease with or without atrial fibrillation, regular physical exercise improves the health and diminishes the burden of arrhythmias in the indi...
متن کاملHedgehog regulated Slit expression determines commissure and glial cell position in the zebrafish forebrain.
Three major axon pathways cross the midline of the vertebrate forebrain early in embryonic development: the postoptic commissure (POC), the anterior commissure (AC) and the optic nerve. We show that a small population of Gfap+ astroglia spans the midline of the zebrafish forebrain in the position of, and prior to, commissural and retinal axon crossing. These glial ;bridges' form in regions devo...
