Embryo development is a critical and fascinating stage in the life cycle of many organisms.
Despite decades of research, the earliest stages of mammalian embryogenesis are still …

We, for the first time, directly compared gene expression profiles in human non-small cell
lung carcinomas (NSCLCs) and in human fetal lung development. Previously reported …

Background Among the world's finest natural fiber composites is derived from the secondary
hair follicles (SHFs) of cashmere goats yield one of the world's best natural fibres. Their …

An oncogenic capacity of aquaporins, transmembrane channels for water, was recently
proposed. This study seeks to elucidate the involvement of aquaporin 1, 3, and 5 in the …

abstract In addition to the extensive data demonstrating the importance of mammalian AQPs
for the movement of water and some small solutes across the cell membrane, there is now a …

Aquaporins were first described as channels which increased permeability of lipid
membranes to water, in response to osmotic and/or hydrostatic gradients. Some were shown …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small hydrophobic, integral membrane proteins that are
expressed in all living organisms and play critical roles in controlling the water flow into and …

Squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) offer a unique model system for testing hypotheses
about the evolutionary transition from oviparity (egg-laying) to viviparity (live-bearing) in …

Human conception, indeed fertilization in general, takes place in a fluid, but what role does
fluid dynamics have during the subsequent development of an organism? It is becoming …
