STEPWISE PARTICIPATION OF HGF/MET SIGNALING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MIGRATORY MUSCLE PRECURSORS DURING VERTEBRATE EVOLUTION

Stepwise participation of HGF/MET signaling in the development of migratory muscle precursors during vertebrate evolution

Abstract Background The skeletal musculature of gnathostomes, which is derived from embryonic somites, consists of epaxial and hypaxial portions.Some hypaxial muscles, such as tongue and limb muscles, undergo de-epithelialization and migration during development.Delamination and migration of these myoblasts, or migratory muscle precursors (MMPs), i

Variability and resistance mutations in the hepatitis C virus NS3 protease in patients not treated with protease inhibitors

The goal of treatment of chronic hepatitis C is to achieve a sustained virological response, which is defined as exhibiting undetectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels in serum following therapy for at least six months.However, the current treatment is only effective in 50% buderim glace ginger of patients infected with HCV genotype 1, the most
