Induction of apoptosis in fibroblasts by c-myc protein

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that deregulated c-myc expression induces apoptosis in cells growth arrested by a variety of means and at various points in the cell cycle.

Chitin/chitosan: modifications and their unlimited application potential—an overview

TL;DR: The net cationicity as well as the presence of multiple reactive functional groups in the molecule make chitosan a sought-after biomolecule and offers scope for manipulation for preparing a broad spectrum of derivatives for specific end use applications in diversified areas.

Constitutive c-myc expression in an IL-3-dependent myeloid cell line suppresses cell cycle arrest and accelerates apoptosis.

TL;DR: The premature induction of apoptosis in cells harboring a deregulated c-myc gene suggests that apoptosis may be an important mechanism in the elimination of hematopoietic cells Harboring mutations, such as constitutive c- myc expression, which imbalance normal cell cycle regulatory controls.

An exceptionally conserved transcriptional repressor, CTCF, employs different combinations of zinc fingers to bind diverged promoter sequences of avian and mammalian c-myc oncogenes.

TL;DR: It is shown that the ubiquitously expressed 11-zinc-finger factor CTCF is an exceptionally highly conserved protein displaying 93% identity between avian and human amino acid sequences, and provides the first feasible explanation of how certain homologous genes of different vertebrate species are regulated by the same factor and maintain similar expression patterns despite significant promoter sequence divergence.

Potential applications of chitosan in veterinary medicine

TL;DR: The veterinary drug delivery areas most likely to benefit from chitosan are the delivery of chemotherapeutics such as antibiotics, antiparasitics, anaesthetics, painkillers and growth promotants to mucosal epithelium for absorption for local or systemic activity, and the Delivery of immunomodulatory agents to the mucosal associated lymphoid tissue for induction or modulation of local immune responses.
