The Epigenetic Architects: How Polycomb Proteins Shape Zebrafish Heart and Pectoral Fin Development
Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are key epigenetic regulators, but early lethality in knockout models has limited developmental studies. Zebrafish, with its maternal mRNA contribution, offers new insights. Our review highlights PcG roles in heart and pectoral fin development in zebrafish.
Evaluation of measles elimination strategies in Dongola, Sudan: a surveillance and immunization converge analysis, 2018–2021
This study aimed to evaluate the ongoing activities concerning measles elimination including
immunization converges in routine and supplementary vaccination activities, and surveillance system.
Programming Bacterial Communication for Teamwork in a Test Tube
Building bacterial communities that work together, like a team of specialists, is a promising way to create advanced biological computers. In this study, we combine a phage-based messaging system with CRISPR gene regulation, allowing Escherichia coli bacteria to process information collectively.
