A recent bioinformatics-based study conducted by Goethe University Frankfurt has investigated which organisms possess the enzymatic tools necessary for degrading cellulose in dead wood and leaves.

Mouse germline cysts, on average, develop into six oocytes supported by 24 nurse cells that transfer cyto-plasm and organelles to generate a Balbiani body. We showed that between E14.5 and P5, cysts ...

This paper explores the potential of mitochondrial-associated programmed-cell-death (mtPCD) patterns as biomarkers for predicting the prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is the most ...

Background: Programmed Cell death (PCD) encompasses a spectrum of genetically regulated cell death processes and plays a double-edged sword role in neoplastic progression and therapeutic resistance of ...

(PCD) is a rare, inherited disorder. It affects cilia, tiny hair-like organs that help the body clear mucus. It is caused by variants in more than 50 genes and lacks targeted therapies to treat it.

This study addresses the temporal patterning of a specific Drosophila CNS neuroblast lineage, focusing on its larval development. They find that a temporal cascade, involving the Imp and Syb genes ...

Revised: This Reviewed Preprint has been revised by the authors in response to the previous round of peer review; the eLife assessment and the public reviews have been updated where necessary by the ...

This study delivers a thorough analysis of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating programmed cell death (PCD), vital for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s ...
