Transmission Dynamics and Prospects for the Elimination of Canine Rabies
(2009-03-01)Rabies has been eliminated from domestic dog populations in Western Europe and North America, but continues to kill many thousands of people throughout Africa and Asia every year. A quantitative understanding of transmission ... -
Cell-to-cell spread of the RNA interference response suppresses Semliki Forest virus (SFV) infection of mosquito cell cultures and cannot be antagonized by SFV.
(2008-06-01)In their vertebrate hosts, arboviruses such as Semliki Forest virus (SFV) (Togaviridae) generally counteract innate defenses and trigger cell death. In contrast, in mosquito cells, following an early phase of efficient ... -
Semliki Forest virus strongly reduces mosquito host defence signaling
(2008-12-01)The Alphavirus genus within the Togaviridae family contains several important mosquito-borne arboviruses. Other than the antiviral activity of RNAi, relatively little is known about alphavirus interactions with insect ... -
Brain oxytocin correlates with maternal aggression: Link to anxiety

Specific Targeting of Pro-Death NMDA Receptor Signals with Differing Reliance on the NR2B PDZ Ligand
(2008)NMDA receptors (NMDARs) mediate ischemic brain damage, for which interactions between the C termini of NR2 subunits and PDZ domain proteins within the NMDAR signaling complex (NSC) are emerging therapeutic targets. However, ... -
Hair follicles are required for optimal growth during lateral skin expansion
(2009)The hair follicles and the interfollicular epidermis of intact mature skin are maintained by distinct stem cell populations. Upon wounding, however, emigration of hair follicle keratinocytes to the interfollicular epidermis ... -
Distinct impacts of Eda and Edar loss of function on the mouse dentition
(2009)The Eda-A1-Edar signaling pathway is involved in the development of organs with an ectodermal origin, including teeth. In mouse, mutants are known for both the ligand, Eda-A1 (Tabby), and the receptor, Edar (Downless). The ... -
Stippling the skin: Generation of anatomical periodicity by reaction-diffusion mechanisms
(2009)During vertebrate development cells acquire different fates depending largely on their location in the embryo. The definition of a cell’s developmental fate relies on extensive intercellular communication that produces ...
