EVOLUTION OF THE SPATULA/ALCATRAZ GENE LINEAGE AND EXPRESSION ANALYSES IN THE BASAL EUDICOT, BOCCONIA FRUTESCENS L. (PAPAVERACEAE)

Evolution of the SPATULA/ALCATRAZ gene lineage and expression analyses in the basal eudicot, Bocconia frutescens L. (Papaveraceae)

Abstract Background SPATULA (SPT) and ALCATRAZ (ALC) are recent paralogs that belong Built-in Ovens to the large bHLH transcription factor family.Orthologs of these genes have been found in all core eudicots, whereas pre-duplication genes, named paleoSPATULA/ALCATRAZ, have been found in basal eudicots, monocots, basal angiosperms and gymnosperms.Ne

Potential of Ferritin-Based Platforms for Tumor Immunotherapy

Ferritin is an iron storage protein that plays a key role in iron homeostasis and cellular antioxidant activity.Ferritin has many advantages as a tumor immunotherapy platform, including a small particle size that allows for penetration into tumor-draining lymph nodes or tumor tissue, a unique structure consisting of 24 self-assembled subunits, cavi
