Human dectin-1 deficiency and mucocutaneous fungal infections.

27 Oct 2009 Mucocutaneous fungal infections are typically found in patients who have no known immune defects. We describe a family in which four women who were affected by either recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis or onychomycosis had the early-stop-codon ... Read more...

Characterization of conserved tandem donor sites and intronic motifs required for alternative splicing in corticosteroid receptor genes.

7 Oct 2009 Alternative splicing events from tandem donor sites result in mRNA variants coding for additional amino acids in the DNA binding domain of both the glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid (MR) receptors. We now show that expression of both splice ... Read more...

Evolutionary development of the middle ear in Mesozoic therian mammals.

7 Oct 2009 The definitive mammalian middle ear (DMME) is defined by the loss of embryonic Meckel's cartilage and disconnection of the middle ear from the mandible in adults. It is a major feature distinguishing living mammals from nonmammalian vertebrates. We ... Read more...
