Live-cell imaging revealed the dynamics and the roles of cytoskeleton in polarizing plant zygote
Asymmetric cell division is one of the fundamental steps to form the plant body axis. In most flowering plants, the apical-basal axis is established by the asymmetric division of the zygote. In a model plant Arabidopsis thaliana,
Why is the transcription factor Pax8 necessary for a functional thyroid gland?
By controlling the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, the endocrine thyroid gland plays an important role in governing organismal development and metabolic homeostasis. The structural and functional unit of the thyroid gland is the thyroid follicle,
