▪ Abstract The transcription factor NF-κB, more than a decade after its discovery, remains an
exciting and active area of study. The involvement of NF-κB in the expression of numerous …

NF-kappa B is a ubiquitous transcription factor. Nevertheless, its properties seem to be most
extensively exploited in cells of the immune system. Among these properties are NF-kappa …

The concept of innate immunity refers to the first-line host defense that serves to limit
infection in the early hours after exposure to microorganisms. Recent data have highlighted …

Extravascular fibrin deposition is an early and persistent hallmark of inflammatory
responses. Fibrin is generated from plasma-derived fibrinogen, which escapes the …

The nuclear form of the NF‐kappa B transcription factor binds to DNA as a heterodimer of a
50 kDa (p50) and 65 kDa (p65) polypeptide. The two polypeptides are encoded by different …

The first somatic single cells of carrot hypocotyl explants having the competence to form
embryos in the presence of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) were identified using …

Insects are particularly resistant to microorganisms. Their host-defense system relies on
several innate reactions: upon injury, the immediate onset of two proteolytic cascades …

The homeobox-containing gene tinman (msh-2, Development 110, 661-669) is expressed in
the mesoderm primordium, and this expression requires the function of the mesoderm …

This book will give an overview of insect ovaries, showing the diversities and the common
traits in egg growth processes. The idea to write this book developed while looking at the …

The ventral furrow and posterior midgut invaginations bring mesodermal and endodermal
precursor cells into the interior of the Drosophila embryo during gastrulation. Both …
