چکیده
The LIM-homeodomain (LIM-HD) family of transcription factors is well known for its functions during several developmental processes including cell fate specification, cell migration and axon guidance, and its members play fundamental roles in hippocampal development. The hippocampus is a structure that displays striking activity dependent plasticity. We examined whether LIM-HD genes and their co-factors are regulated during kainic acid induced seizure in the adult rat hippocampus as well as in early postnatal rats, when the hippocampal circuitry is not fully developed. We report a distinct and field-specific regulation of LIM-HD genes , and , LIM-only gene Lhx1, Lhx2 Lhx9 , and cofactor in the adult hippocampus after seizure induction. In Lmo4 Clim1a contrast none of these genes displayed altered levels upon induction of seizure in postnatal animals. Our results provide evidence of temporal and spatial seizure mediated regulation of LIM-HD family members and suggest that LIM-HD gene function may be involved in activity dependent plasticity in the adult hippocampus 1,2 1,3 1,4 1

Genetic manipulation in enterohemorrhagic O157:H7 is currently E. coli restricted to recombineering, a method that utilizes the recombination system of bacteriophage lambda, to introduce gene replacements and base changes into the genome. Bacteriophage 933W is a prophage in inter alia E. coli O157:H7 strain EDL933, which encodes the genes ( ) for the production stx2AB of Shiga toxin which is th...

There are several examples of successes in improving health care. However, many of these tend to remain limited to the sites they were originally developed in. There are fewer examples of successes that have spread to the remainder of the systems they were developed in. This article discusses the wave-sequence approach, which is a type of spread focusing on spreading in a systematic, sequential...

Morgellons disease (MD) is an emerging multisystem illness characterized by skin lesions with unusual filaments embedded in or projecting from epithelial tissue. Filament formation results from abnormal keratin and collagen expression by epithelial-based keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Recent research comparing MD to bovine digital dermatitis, an animal infectious disease with similar skin featu...
