Journal ArticleDOI
Polyethylene bio-degradation by caterpillars of the wax moth Galleria mellonella.
TL;DR: The fast bio-degradation of PE by larvae of the wax moth Galleria mellonella, producing ethylene glycol is reported, indicating that new solutions for plastic degradation are urgently needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The amniote primitive streak is defined by epithelial cell intercalation before gastrulation
TL;DR: It is proposed that the amniote primitive streak evolved from the ancestral blastopore by acquisition of an additional medio-lateral intercalation event, preceding gastrulation and acting independently of mesendoderm formation to position the primitive streak at the midline.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Oct4 homologue PouV and Nanog regulate pluripotency in chicken embryonic stem cells.
Fabrice Lavial,Hervé Acloque,Federica Bertocchini,David J. MacLeod,Sharon Boast,Elodie Bachelard,Guillaume Montillet,Sandrine Thenot,Helen Sang,Claudio D. Stern,Jacques Samarut,Bertrand Pain,Bertrand Pain +12 more
TL;DR: It is established that cPouV and the chicken Nanog gene are required for the maintenance of pluripotency and self-renewal of cESC, showing that the mechanisms by which Oct4 and Nanog regulate pluripOTency andSelf-Renewal are not exclusive to mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deletion of the ryanodine receptor type 3 (RyR3) impairs forms of synaptic plasticity and spatial learning
Detlef Balschun,David P. Wolfer,Federica Bertocchini,Virginia Barone,Antonio Conti,Werner Zuschratter,Ludwig Missiaen,Hans-Peter Lipp,J. Uwe Frey,Vincenzo Sorrentino +9 more
TL;DR: The observed physiological and behavioral effects implicate RyR3‐mediated Ca2+ release in the intracellular processes underlying spatial learning and hippocampal synaptic plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hypoblast of the Chick Embryo Positions the Primitive Streak by Antagonizing Nodal Signaling
TL;DR: It is proposed that, during normal development, the primitive streak forms only when the hypoblast is displaced away from the posterior margin by the endoblast, which lacks Cerberus.
