ARE MATERNAL ANTIBODIES REALLY THAT IMPORTANT? PATTERNS IN THE IMMUNOLOGIC DEVELOPMENT OF ALTRICIAL PASSERINE HOUSE SPARROWS (PASSER DOMESTICUS).

Are maternal antibodies really that important? Patterns in the immunologic development of altricial passerine house sparrows (Passer domesticus).

Maternal antibodies are believed to play an integral role in protecting immunologically immature wild-passerines from environmental antigens.This study comprehensively examines the early development of the adaptive immune system in an altricial-developing wild here passerine species, the house sparrow (Passer domestics), by characterizing the half-

Synthetic Lethal Interaction between the ESCRT Paralog Enzymes VPS4A and VPS4B in Cancers Harboring Loss of Chromosome 18q or 16q

Summary: Few therapies target the loss of tumor suppressor genes in cancer.We examine CRISPR-SpCas9 and RNA-interference loss-of-function screens to identify new therapeutic targets associated with genomic loss of tumor suppressor genes.The endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) ATPases VPS4A and VPS4B score as strong synthetic
