Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been attracting immense research interest, while
only a handful of lncRNAs have been characterized thoroughly. Their involvement in the …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is widely used in the nervous
system. With recognition of its roles in synaptic plasticity (long-term potentiation, LTP; long …

The importance of various classes of regulatory non-protein-coding RNA molecules
(ncRNAs) in the normal functioning of the CNS is becoming increasingly evident. ncRNAs …

A large portion of the eukaryotic genome is transcribed as noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs).
While once thought of primarily as “junk,” recent studies indicate that a large number of …

The progressive maturation and functional plasticity of the nervous system in health and
disease involve a dynamic interplay between the transcriptome and the environment. There …

The purpose of this review is to illustrate how a reductionistic, but sophisticated, approach
based on the use of a simple model system such as the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis (L …

Nitric oxide (NO) is essential to many physiological functions and operates in several
signaling pathways. It is not understood how and when the different isoforms of nitric oxide …

Molluscan defense mechanisms are regulated to innate immunity, which is largely
dependent on cellular components such as hemocytes possessing phagocytic and …

Pseudogenes have long been considered to be 'dead', nonfunctional by-products of
genome evolution. However, several lines of evidence now show that some pseudogenes …

Since the discovery of the biological effects of nitric oxide (NO) more than two decades ago,
NO has been identified as an important physiological modulator and a messenger molecule …
