Sterile male releases have successfully reduced local populations of the dengue vector,
Aedes aegypti, but challenges remain in scale and in separating sexes before release. The …

Neurotrophic factor genome engineering could have many potential applications not only in
the deeper understanding of neurodegenerative disorders but also in improved …

Transposon-mediated transgenesis of mosquito vectors of disease pathogens followed the
early success of transgenesis in the vinegar fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The P …

The cell lines derived from the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, have been
widely used for production of recombinant proteins for applications in both basic research …

The galatheid squat lobster, Shinkaia crosnieri Baba and Williams, 1998, is one of the few
dominant species inhabiting both deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. Here, we …

Transposons are a class of selfish DNA elements that can mobilize within a genome. If
mobilization is accompanied by an increase in copy number (replicative transposition), the …

Immune cells play a pivotal role in the establishment, growth, and progression of tumors at
primary and metastatic sites. Macrophages, in particular, play a critical role in suppressing …

In many taxa, sex chromosomes are heteromorphic and largely non-recombining.
Evolutionary models predict that spread of recombination suppression on the Y …

Vector control programs based on population reduction by matings with mass-released
sterile insects require the release of only male mosquitoes, as the release of females, even if …

Hydrodynamics-based gene delivery (HGD) is an efficient method for transfecting plasmid
DNA into hepatocytes in vivo. However, the resulting gene expression is transient, and …
