RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate essentially every event in the lifetime of an RNA
molecule, from its production to its destruction. Whereas much has been learned about RNA …

Integrins are cell surface receptors of the extracellular matrix present in all animals. Genetic
analysis in worms, flies, and vertebrates has revealed integrin involvement in key …

The formation of the musculoskeletal system represents an intricate process of tissue
assembly involving heterotypic inductive interactions between tendons, muscles and …

Quaking viable (Qk v) mice have developmental defects that result in their characteristic
tremor. The quaking (Qk) locus expresses alternatively spliced RNA-binding proteins …

Sam68 is one of the most studied members of the STAR family of RNA-binding proteins
since its identification over a decade ago. Since its ascension into prominence, enormous …

RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) are essential players in RNA metabolism including key
cellular processes from pre‐mRNA splicing to mRNA translation. The K homology‐type …

Quaking viable (qk v) mice fail to properly compact myelin in their central nervous systems.
Although the defect in the qk v mice involves a mutation affecting the expression of the …

The use of spontaneously occurring mouse models has proved to be a valuable tool
throughout the years to delineate the signals required for nervous system development. This …

Precise genetic manipulation of specific cell types or tissues to pinpoint gene function
requirement is a critical step in studies aimed at unraveling the intricacies of organismal …

The complex muscle patterns of higher organisms arise as migrating myoblasts are guided
toward and connect with specific attachment sites. We review here the current …
