چکیده
Intricate layers of regulation determine the unique gene expression profiles of a given cell and, therefore, underlie the immense phenotypic diversity observed among cell types. Understanding the mechanisms that govern which genes are expressed and which genes are silenced is a fundamental focus in biology. The Polycomb and Trithorax group chromatin proteins play important roles promoting the stable and heritable repression and activation of gene expression, respectively. These proteins, which are conserved across metazoans, modulate post-translational modifications on histone tails and regulate nucleosomal structures. Here, we review recent advances that have shed light on the mechanisms by which these two classes of proteins act to maintain epigenetic memory and allow dynamic switches in gene expression during development.

The determinants of pricing in pharmaceuticals: are US prices really so high?
This paper studies price determination in pharmaceutical markets using data for 25 countries, 6 years, and a comprehensive list of products from the MIDAS IMS database. A key finding is that the USA has prices that are not significantly higher than those of countries with similar income levels, especially those that are 'lightly regulated'. More importantly, price differences to the US levels i...

متن کاملA case report of obsessive-compulsive disorder following acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
We present a case of a boy who developed obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) shortly after an episode of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). To our knowledge, this is the first report of the development of OCD in a child who has had ADEM. This presentation is consistent with our understanding of OCD as a complex genetic disease involving the cerebral white matter tracts, and may indica...
متن کاملA Lightweight RFID Authentication Protocol based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography
The security and privacy of the tag carrier has become the bottle neck of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system development further. In this paper, we propose a robust authentication protocol based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which meets the requirement of resource-limited RFID systems. Our protocol achieves mutual authentication and possesses lightweight feature by reducing th...
