TL;DR: Parts of phero-perception, stress responses, immune function and regulation of gene expression that support the persistence of B. glabrata are described and several potential targets for developing novel control measures aimed at reducing snail-mediated transmission of schistosomiasis are identified.

TL;DR: Mice lacking CENP-B were viable and fertile, indicating that mice without CENB-B undergo normal somatic and germline development and both mitosis and meiosis are able to proceed normally in the absence of CENp-B.

TL;DR: FlyBase provides a centralized resource for the genetic and genomic data of Drosophila melanogaster, and the dedicated reports and tools it has constructed to meet the specialized needs of fly researchers but also to facilitate use by other research communities are emphasized.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the formation of a morphologically and molecularly distinct heart depends crucially upon the homeotic segmentation gene abdominal-A (abd-A), and a specific involvement for Hox genes in patterning the muscular circulatory system is demonstrated.

TL;DR: It is concluded that in the context of adult myogenesis, MEF2 remains an essential factor, participating in control of myoblast fusion, and myofibrillogenesis in developing myotubes, however,MEF2 does not show a major requirement in the maintenance of muscle structural gene expression.
