Variation in breeding parameters of Eleonora's falcon (Falco eleonorae) and factors affecting its reproductive performance
(2012)We gathered data for a four-year period (2004-2007) on the nesting ecology and reproductive performance of Eleonora's falcon in the Aegean Sea. We investigated in an indirect way the relation between clutch size and ...

vavCre transgenic mice: A tool for mutagenesis in hematopoietic and endothelial lineages
(2002)Cre transgenic mice can be used to delete gene sequences flanked by loxP sites in specific somatic tissues. We have generated vavCre transgenic mice, which can be used to inactivate genes specifically in adult hematopoietic ...

Whole-genome fetal and maternal DNA methylation analysis using MeDIP-NGS for the identification of differentially methylated regions
(2016)DNA methylation is an epigenetic marker that has been shown to vary significantly across different tissues. Taking advantage of the methylation differences between placenta-derived cell-free DNA and maternal blood, several ...

WR-1065, an active metabolite of the cytoprotector amifostine, affects phosphorylation of topoisomerase IIα leading to changes in enzyme activity and cell cycle progression in CHO AA8 cells
(1997)The effects of WR-1065 (2-((aminopropyl)amino)ethanethiol) on cell cycle progression, topoisomerase (topo) IIα activity, and topo IIα phosphorylation in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have been investigated. Exposure ...

X-linked Alport syndrome in Hellenic families: Phenotypic heterogeneity and mutations near interruptions of the collagen domain in COL4A5
(2012)The X-linked Alport syndrome (ATS) is caused by mutations in COL4A5 and exhibits a widely variable expression. Usually ATS is heralded with continuous microhematuria which rapidly progresses to proteinuria, hypertension ...

X-linked, COL4A5 hypomorphic Alport mutations such as G624D and P628L may only exhibit thin basement membrane nephropathy with microhematuria and late onset kidney failure
(2013)Alport syndrome (ATS) results from X-linked, COL4A5 mutations (85%) or from autosomal recessive homozygous or compound heterozygous COL4A3/A4 mutations (15%), associated with alternate thinning and thickening as well as ...

Xenopus laevis nucleotide binding protein 1 (xNubp1) is important for convergent extension movements and controls ciliogenesis via regulation of the actin cytoskeleton
(2013)Nucleotide binding protein 1 (Nubp1) is a highly conserved phosphate loop (P-loop) ATPase involved in diverse processes including iron-sulfur protein assembly, centrosome duplication and lung development. Here, we report ...
