The caspases (Casps) are a family of cysteine proteases that are known to regulate apoptotic signaling. Apoptosis by activation of Casp is strongly associated with embryonal development and regeneration in many organs, therefore indicating that disorders caused by homozygous mutation in Casp genes c

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of pregnancy and spontaneous delivery on the morphologic characteristics of the levator ani muscle and innervation of the vaginal mucosa.METHODS: Eight nullipara without pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) and 64 normal primipara undergoing spontaneous delivery were e

Frontiers in zoology.Front Zool.2008 Jan 2;5:1. doi: 10.1186/1742-9994-5-1.
BACKGROUND: The standard textbook information that annelid musculature consists of oligochaete-like outer circular and inner longitudinal muscle-layers has recently been called into question by observations of a variety of complex muscle systems in numerous polychaete taxa. To clarify the ancestral
… Individual myogenetic tissues were obtained from C57BL/6 mouse embryos aged 12.5-17.5 days post-conception (dpc), and the expression of Casps was analyzed by histochemical and molecular biological methods. …
