MATERNAL MRNA INPUT OF GROWTH AND STRESS-RESPONSE-RELATED GENES IN CICHLIDS IN RELATION TO EGG SIZE AND TROPHIC SPECIALIZATION

Maternal mRNA input of growth and stress-response-related genes in cichlids in relation to egg size and trophic specialization

Abstract Background Egg size represents an important form of maternal effect determined by a complex interplay of long-term adaptation and short-term plasticity balancing egg size with brood size.Haplochromine cichlids are canals and nubiola cava maternal mouthbrooders showing differential parental investment in different species, manifested in gre

Polymer-Mediated Delivery of siRNAs to Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Variables Affecting Specificity and Effectiveness

Despite the advances in anticancer therapies, their effectiveness for many human tumors is still far from being optimal.Significant improvements in treatment efficacy can come from the enhancement of drug specificity.This goal may be achieved by combining the use of therapeutic molecules with tumor specific effects and delivery carriers mckenzie se
