Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) and MPC 2 form a transporter complex in cells to control pyruvate transportation into mitochondria. Reduced expression of MPC1 disrupts the transporter function, induces metabolic shift to increase glycolysis, and thus plays important roles in several diseases, including cancer. However, the role of MPC1 in prostate cancer and the underlying mechanism cau...

The development of the progenitor zones in the pallium, lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE) and medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) in the subpallium has been well studied; however, so far the role of the caudal ganglionic eminence (CGE), a posterior subpallial domain, in telencephalon patterning remains poorly understood. COUP-TFII, an orphan nuclear receptor, is preferentially expressed in the CGE...

The COUP (chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter) transcription factor binds to the upstream promoters of both the chicken ovalbumin and the rat insulin II genes, even though the two binding sites have no obvious sequence similarity (Hwung, Y.-P., Crowe, D. T., Wang, L.-H., Tsai, S. Y., and Tsai, M.-J. (1988) Mol. Cell. Biol. 8, 2070-2077). Comparison of the contact points and important nucleotide...

While the cortical interneurons derived from the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) migrate rather diffusely into the cortex, interneurons that migrate out from the caudal ganglionic eminence (CGE) mainly move caudally into the caudal cerebral cortex and the hippocampus in the form of the caudal migratory stream (CMS) (Yozu et al., 2005). Although transplantation experiments at embryonic day 13.5...

Education is a basic nucleus in building society, as people's progress measured by the of their education system. Developed peoples are those who follow developed system terms curricula and methods education, provide modern buildings to make them educational centers. This study came show developments changes that occurred public Iran during four years followed white coup led Reza Khan 1921 AD, ...

Chicken ovalbumin upstream promotor-transcription factor I (COUP-TFI), an orphan member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is highly expressed in the developing nervous systems. In the cerebral cortex of Coup-tfl mutants, cortical layer IV was absent due to excessive cell death, a consequence of the failure of thalamocortical projections. Moreover, subplate neurons underwent improper differen...

Hyperspectral imaging systems used in plant science or agriculture often have suboptimal signal-to-noise ratio in the blue region (400-500 nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum. Typically there are two principal reasons for this effect, the low sensitivity of the imaging sensor and the low amount of light available from the illuminating source. In plant science, the blue region contains relevant ...

Colour harmony plays an important role in fine arts, architecture and design. But it can be also important to describe the quality of light sources: the distortion of perceived colour harmony of a set of colour samples under a light source can be a relevant factor by ranking the perceived colour quality of different light sources. In an earlier experimental study[1], we came to the conclusion t...
