1. Studies of genes involved in regulating flowering time in Arabidopsis
Abstract : Transition from a vegetative growth phase to flowering in plants occurs in response to both environmental conditions and endogenous signals. Identification of genes that are involved in regulating the time of flowering is of great importance in agri- and horticulture. READ MORE

2. Modifying xenogeneic immune recognition and engraftment by genetic engineering
Abstract : Transplantation using xenogenic organs, tissues and cells (i.e. xenotransplantation) is a potential solution to the shortage of those from human sources. Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are the most immediate barrier between the xenogeneic donor organ and the host defense systems. READ MORE

3. Molecular mechanisms for transcription in mammalian mitochondria
Abstract : The circular double stranded mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), which is about 16,600 bp in humans and 16,300 bp in mice, encodes 13 of the -90 different proteins present in the respiratory chain of mammalian mitochondria. The remaining components of the respiratory chain are encoded by nuclear genes and imported into the mitochondrial network. READ MORE

4. Regulation of Adenoviral Gene Expression by the L4-33K and L4-22K Proteins
Abstract : The splicing pattern during an adenovirus infection is shifted at the late phase towards using weaker splice sites, splicing out larger introns. Splicing of weak 3´ splice sites usually requires recognition of the 3´AG dinucleotide before the first catalytic step of splicing. READ MORE

5. Human insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 and -6 : gene structure and transcription regulation
Abstract : Insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) are among the more abundant growth factors isolated from bone tissue and are synthesized by various bone cells including osteoblasts. The activity of IGFs is controlled by a family of binding proteins (IGFBPs) divided into subfamilies depending on their individual affinity for IGFs. READ MORE
