چکیده
Neat1 is a non-protein-coding RNA that serves as an architectural component of the nuclear bodies known as paraspeckles. Although cell-based studies indicate that Neat1 is a crucial regulator of gene expression, its physiological relevance remains unclear. Here, we find that Neat1 knockout (KO) mice stochastically fail to become pregnant despite normal ovulation. Unilateral transplantation of wildtype ovaries or the administration of progesterone partially rescued the phenotype, suggesting that corpus luteum dysfunction and concomitant low progesterone were the primary causes of the decreased fertility. In contrast to the faint expression observed in most of the adult tissues, Neat1 was highly expressed in the corpus luteum, and the formation of luteal tissue was severely impaired in nearly half of the Neat1 KO mice. These observations suggest that Neat1 is essential for the formation of the corpus luteum and for the subsequent establishment of pregnancy under a suboptimal condition that has not yet been identified.

Virgibacillus halotolerans sp. nov., isolated from a dairy product.
A Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped and weakly motile bacterium, designated WS 4627(T), was isolated from a dairy product sample collected in southern Germany. Spherical to slightly ellipsoidal endospores were formed centrally or subterminally in sometimes slightly swollen sporangia. The isolate was able to grow at 8-35 °C, at pH 6.5-8.5 and with 0.5-16.5% (w/v) NaCl. The diamin...

متن کاملOn Resistive MHD Models with Adaptive Moving Meshes
In this paper we describe an adaptive moving mesh technique and its application to convection-diffusion models from magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The method is based on a coordinate transformation between physical and computational coordinates. The transformation can be viewed as a solution of adaptive mesh partial differential equations (PDEs) which are derived from the minimization of a mesh-en...
