ACTIVATION OF FGF SIGNALING MEDIATES PROLIFERATIVE AND OSTEOGENIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NEURAL CREST DERIVED FRONTAL AND MESODERM PARIETAL DERIVED BONE.

Activation of FGF signaling mediates proliferative and osteogenic differences between neural crest derived frontal and mesoderm parietal derived bone.

As a culmination of efforts over the last years, our knowledge of the embryonic origins of the mammalian frontal and parietal cranial bones is unambiguous.Progenitor cells that subsequently give rise to frontal bone are of neural crest origin, while parietal bone progenitors arise from paraxial mesoderm.Given the unique qualities of neural crest ce

A Framework for Systemic Design

WOVEN DRSSHRT SLV As designers move upstream from traditional product and service design to engage with challenges characterised by complexity, uniqueness, value conflict, and ambiguity over objectives, they have increasingly integrated systems approaches into their practice.This synthesis of systems thinking with design thinking is forming a disti

Association of single nucleotide polymorphism in melanocortin receptor gene with egg production traits in lohmann brown chickens

Melanocortin receptor (MC4R) plays an important role in central pipe melanocortin system and regulation of feed intake in birds.In this study the melanocortin gene (MC4R) was proposed as a candidate gene for egg production traits (yield and weight) in Lohmann Brown hens.DNA from blood samples was extracted to amplify the MC4R gene and the purified
