چکیده
Biological clocks play key roles in organismal development, homeostasis and function. In recent years, much work has focused on circadian clocks, but emerging studies have highlighted the existence of ultradian oscillators – those with a much shorter periodicity than 24 h. Accumulating evidence, together with recently developed optogenetic approaches, suggests that such ultradian oscillators play important roles during cell fate decisions, and analyzing the functional links between ultradian oscillation and cell fate determination will contribute to a deeper understanding of the design principle of developing embryos. In this Review, we discuss the mechanisms of ultradian oscillatory dynamics and introduce examples of ultradian oscillators in various biological contexts. We also discuss how optogenetic technology has been used to elucidate the biological significance of ultradian oscillations.

متن کاملAstronomy and Astrophysics Unusual Magnetic Fields in the Interacting Spiral Ngc 3627
By observing the interacting galaxy NGC 3627 in radio polarization we try to answer the question to which degree the magnetic field follows the galactic gas flows. We obtained total power and polarized intensity maps at 8.46 GHz and 4.85 GHz using the VLA in its compact D-configuration. In order to overcome the zero-spacing problems, the interferometric data were combined with single-dish measu...
متن کاملVascular progenitor cells and diabetes: role in postischemic neovascularisation.
Advances in the field of vascular biology lead to the identification of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) and to the development of EPC-based cell therapy to induce new vessel formation in ischemic tissues and to accelerate re-endothelialisation of injured vessels in human and various animals models. However, recent studies have shown that age and other risk factors for cardiovascular diseases...
