Seeing Circuits Assemble
Developmental neurobiology has been greatly invigorated by a recent string of breakthroughs in molecular biology and optical physics that permit direct in vivo observation of neural circuit assembly. The imaging done thus far suggests that as brains are built, a significant amount of unbuilding is also occurring. We offer the view that this tumult is the result of the intersecting behaviors of ...
متن کاملGenetic enhancers.
A genetic enhancer is a mutation in one gene that intensifies the phenotype caused by a mutation in another gene. The phenotype of the double mutant is much stronger than the summation of the single mutant phenotypes. The isolation of enhancers can lead to the identification of interacting genes, including genes that act redundantly with respect to each other. Examples in Caenorhabditis elegans...
متن کاملCognition Enhancers
Executive Summary The search for treatments for dementia, alongside other scientific and societal changes, has prompted the development of symptomatic treatments and disease-modifying drugs for people with degenerative brain diseases, mild cognitive impairment, and psychiatric diseases that involve cognition impairment. The enhancement of aspects of cognition, such as learning and memory, now s...
متن کاملHow to Assemble a Capsid
Retroviral capsids are composed of hexagonal arrays of the viral CA protein. In this issue of Cell, Ganser-Pornillos et al. (2007) provide a molecular model of the hexagonal HIV-1 CA lattice obtained from a new electron cryomicroscopic reconstruction. This study reveals the three principal stabilizing interfaces in the capsid lattice and explains how two different classes of inhibitors can bloc...
متن کاملDETECTION OF GENE ENHANCERS BY Drosophila ENHANCER TRAP ANALYSIS Enhancers: Transcriptional enhancers are DNA sequences
Enhancers: Transcriptional enhancers are DNA sequences that control expression of nearby genes and direct tissue-specific, positive regulation of those genes (Karp, 2002; Griffiths, et al., 2002). The general mode of action of these sequences is that they associate with specific activator proteins (that are found in only certain tissues); this association of enhancer and activator facilitates t...
