Neurogenesis is a key developmental event through which neurons are generated from neural stem/progenitor cells. Chromatin remodeling BAF (mSWI/SNF) complexes have been reported to play essential roles in the neurogenesis of the central nervous system. However, whether BAF complexes are required for neuron generation in the olfactory system is unknown. Here, we identified onscBAF and ornBAF com...

It has been hypothesized that ingestion of microplastic increases exposure of aquatic organisms to hydrophobic contaminants. To date, most laboratory studies investigated chemical transfer from ingested microplastic without taking other exposure pathways into account. Therefore, we studied the effect of polyethylene (PE) microplastic in sediment on PCB uptake by Arenicola marina as a model spec...

BACKGROUND The presenting features and clinical course of biomass smoke induced bronchial anthracofibrosis (BAF) are not well known. PATIENTS AND METHODS 333 patients who had a history of long-term exposure to biomass smoke, having BAF confirmed by a bronchoscopy from January 1998 to December 2004, were included in this study. The clinical features, associated diseases, and clinical outcomes ...

Myogenesis involves the stable commitment of progenitor cells followed by the execution of myogenic differentiation, processes that are coordinated by myogenic regulatory factors, microRNAs and BAF chromatin remodeling complexes. BAF60a, BAF60b and BAF60c are structural subunits of the BAF complex that bind to the core ATPase Brg1 to provide functional specificity. BAF60c is essential for myoge...

A inhibits caspase-independent death of NGF-deprived sympathetic neurons: a potential role for mitochondrial permeability transition.. pening of the permeability transition pore (PTP) has been implicated as an important mitochondrial event that occurs during apoptosis. We examined the role of the PTP in the well-characterized cell death of rat sympathetic neurons deprived of nerve growth factor...

The development of ICT has begun to enter various sectors, including the tourism industry. So increase with is an effective way why that because percentage internet users a positive and significant influence on added value sector. Therefore, we will see what Baturraden Adventure Forest (BAF) looks like as ecotourism-based using ICT. Seeing how BAF uses tool promote or market via internet, can d...

It has been shown that IL-2 and IL-15 can have opposing effects on life and death of T cells. However, the role of IL-2 and IL-15 in regulating the fate of other cell types is less clear. In the present study, we examined the impact of IL-2 and IL-15 on life and death of pre-B cells using the BAF-B03 line. We showed that BAF-B03 cells constitutively expressed the private IL-2R alpha chain and I...

Two channels, one program he biophysical and structural characteristics of chloride ion channels have been studied extensively, but little is known about the molecular regulation and signaling pathways associated with these highly conserved proteins. Rutledge et al. (page 435) analyzed the activation of the CLH-3 chloride ion channel in C. elegans during meioitic cell cycle progression and in r...
