As you're a proper phd scientist who made it through the gauntlet of higher education, I then assume that you have done some classes that have landed you in a fly lab or two. Do you happen to have a favorite Drosophila melanogaster mutation? Mine is apterous because they're flies who cant do the one thing they're named for (they can't fly).

I managed to avoid the fly labs, but I had amazing lectures by the inimitable Dr Vernon French during my bachelors at the University of Edinburgh about evo-devo and Drosophila. No better way to develop a deep fascination with HOX genes and other transcription factors. Off the top of my head, I think Bithorax is pretty nifty.

The math behind evo devo - by NanoRooms

how interacting genes program the body plan

maternal influence genes determine head from tail (polarity)

gap genes determine body parts - head, thorax, abdomen

pair rule genes determine parasegments - switched on or off based on interactions between upper layers of genes

segment polarity genes determine each segment polarity

homeotic selector genes (Hox genes) - determine body parts like wings, legs, antennae - controlled by upper layers (gap, pair rule, segment polarity) (part of a larger group of genes - homeobox genes)

Cartilagine nasale cura lesioni al ginocchio

Cartilagine nasale cura lesioni al ginocchio

Alterazioni della cartilagine articolare possono essere trattate con cellule prelevate dal setto nasale.

Questo il risultato di un recente studio condotto dal gruppo di ricerca guidato da Ivan Martin, professore di ingegneria dei tessuti e dal Prof. Marcel Jakob, responsabile del dipartimento di traumatologia e biomedicina dell’Università di Basilea.

Le cellule della cartilagine nasale, i…
