ANALYSIS OF MEIOSIS IN SUN1 DEFICIENT MICE REVEALS A DISTINCT ROLE OF SUN2 IN MAMMALIAN MEIOTIC LINC COMPLEX FORMATION AND FUNCTION.

Analysis of meiosis in SUN1 deficient mice reveals a distinct role of SUN2 in mammalian meiotic LINC complex formation and function.

LINC complexes are evolutionarily conserved nuclear envelope bridges, composed of SUN (Sad-1/UNC-84) and KASH (Klarsicht/ANC-1/Syne/homology) domain proteins.They are crucial for nuclear positioning and nuclear shape determination, and also mediate nuclear envelope (NE) attachment of meiotic telomeres, essential for driving homolog synapsis and Uri

Argument and Its Uses (OSSA 2005 Keynote Address)

Do not define argument by its use to persuade.for other uses of arguments exist.An argument is a proposition and a reason for it.and argumentation is an interchange Frozen involving two or more parties resulting in the assertion of one or more arguments coupled with anticipated or actual critical responses.A logically good argument has grounds adeq

A novel diagnostic approach for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia using fine-needle aspiration, electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy and rapid on-site evaluation

Cavitary lung lesions are common in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infections.Both atypical infections and thoracic malignancies can manifest as a cavitary pulmonary lesion.Standard bronchoscopy is commonly used to evaluate these abnormalities but is limited in its ability to fully assess for cancer and infection.Bronchoalveolar lavage
