Background Single-cell transcriptomics allows researchers to investigate complex communities
of heterogeneous cells. It can be applied to stem cells and their descendants in order to …

Altered olfactory function is a common symptom of COVID-19, but its etiology is unknown. A
key question is whether SARS-CoV-2 (CoV-2) – the causal agent in COVID-19 – affects …

At the border of the neural plate, the induction of the neural crest can be achieved by interactions
with the epidermis, or with the underlying mesoderm. Wnt signals are required for the …

Assessment in higher education serves multiple purposes such as providing information
about student learning, student progress, teaching quality, and program and institutional …

A detailed understanding of the paths that stem cells traverse to generate mature progeny is
vital for elucidating the mechanisms governing cell fate decisions and tissue homeostasis. …

The olfactory epithelium is a sensory neuroepithelium that supports adult neurogenesis and
tissue regeneration following injury, making it an excellent model for investigating neural …

The relative contributions of different FGF ligands and spliceforms to mesodermal and neural
patterning in Xenopus have not been determined,and alternative splicing, though common, …

… Fletcher is senior lecturer in research methods in the School of Psychology at Massey
University in Auckland, New Zealand. His research focuses of methodological applications within …

FGF signaling is important for the formation of mesoderm in vertebrates, and when it is perturbed
in Xenopus, most trunk and tail mesoderm fails to form. Here we have further dissected …

Peptides and biologics provide unique opportunities to modulate intracellular targets not
druggable by conventional small molecules. Most peptides and biologics are fused with …
