Cell identity in eukaryotes is controlled by transcriptional regulatory networks that define cell-type-specific gene expression. In the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans, transcriptional regulatory networks regulate epigenetic switching between two alternative cell states, 'white' and 'opaque', that exhibit distinct host

Brain research, 1159, 8-17 (2007-06-19)
Opposing functions of activated microglia, namely neuroprotection or neurotrophy versus neurodestruction or neurotoxicity, have been observed in a number of experimental models of neurotrauma and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanism(s) involved in the determination of which function activated microglia execute

The changes in axons seen following exposure to 2,5-hexanedione and its metabolites have to date been studied using electron microscopy and conventional silver impregnation techniques. These have their draw-backs and do not identify the molecular components of a pathological change.

Changes in the distribution of stainable gap substance and subaxolemmal density at peripheral nodes of Ranvier in hexacarbon-intoxicated rats have been studied by light and electron microscopy. Cupric ion binding to the nodal gap substance was seen in normal nodes

Journal of neurocytology, 12(3), 439-458 (1983-06-01)
A study has been made of the structural changes of nodal and paranodal regions of the nodes of Ranvier of peripheral nerves of rats in which marked accumulations of neurofilaments have occurred within axons under the influence of 2,5-hexanediol over
