Photoreceptors are polarized neurons, with very specific subcellular compartmentalization
and unique requirements for protein expression and trafficking. Each photoreceptor contains …

The development of germ cells and other physiological events in the differentiated ovary of
humans are highly conserved with several mammalian species, except for the differences in …

We previously reported that human carboxylesterase 1 (CES1), a serine esterase containing
a unique N-linked glycosyl group at Asn79 (N79 CES1), is a candidate serological marker of …

Previously, we have demonstrated that deletion of a growth-regulating gene (LdCen1) in the
Leishmania donovani parasite (LdCen1–/–) attenuated the parasite's intracellular …

Spindle migration and assembly regulates asymmetric oocyte division, which is essential for
fertility. Fbxo28, as a member of SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F-box) ubiquitin E3 ligases complex, is …

Non-coding RNAs show relevant implications in various biological and pathological
processes. Thus, understanding the biological implications of these molecules in stem cell …

A single primary cilium projects from most vertebrate cells to guide cell fate decisions. A
growing list of signaling molecules is found to function through cilia and control ciliogenesis …

Oocytes with excessively large first polar bodies (PB1) often occur in assisted reproductive
procedures. Many times these oocytes are discarded without insemination and, as a result …

Budding in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae occurs at a single site pre-determined by
cortical landmarks deposited during prior budding. During mating between haploid cells in …

The centrosome is a small non-membranous organelle composed of two centrioles and
surrounded by the pericentriolar material. The two primary functions of the centrosome are …
