A current challenge in neuroscience is to bridge the gaps between genes, proteins, neurons,
neural circuits, and behavior in a single animal model. The nematode Caenorhabditis …

Musashi is an evolutionarily conserved family of RNA-binding proteins that is preferentially
expressed in the nervous system. The first member of the Musashi family was identified in …

The compact genome of Fugu rubripes has been sequenced to over 95% coverage, and
more than 80% of the assembly is in multigene-sized scaffolds. In this 365-megabase …

Regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level is mainly achieved by
proteins containing well-defined sequence motifs involved in RNA binding. The most widely …

Transcription is thought to have a major role in the regulation of cell fate; the importance of
translational regulation in this process has been less certain. Recent findings demonstrate …

Musashi1 (Msi1) is a mammalian neural RNA-binding protein highly enriched in neural
precursor cells that are capable of generating both neurons and glia during embryonic and …

How a single cell gives rise to an entire organism is one of biology's greatest mysteries.
Within this process, stem cells play a key role by serving as seed cells capable of both self …

A plastic nervous system requires the ability not only to acquire and store but also to forget.
Here, we report that musashi (msi-1) is necessary for time-dependent memory loss in C …

Abstract Mammalian Musashi1 (Msi1) is an RNA-binding protein that regulates the
translation of target mRNAs, and participates in the maintenance of cell 'stemness' and …

Musashi (MSI) family proteins control cell proliferation and differentiation in many biological
systems. They are overexpressed in tumors of several origins, and their expression level …
