atonal- and achaete-scute-related genes in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii: insights into the evolution of neural basic-Helix-Loop-Helix genes

Abstract Background Functional studies in model organisms, such as vertebrates and Drosophila, have shown that basic Helix-loop-Helix (bHLH) proteins have important roles in different steps of neurogenesis, from the acquisition of neural fate to the differentiation into specific neural cell types.However, these studies highlighted many differences

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase from the pregastric tissues of calves, young goats and lambs

Abstract The food enzyme containing triacylglycerol lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase; EC 3.1.1.3) is prepared from the pregastric tissues of calves, young goats and lambs by Caglificio Clerici SpA.The food enzyme is intended to be used in the production of cheese.As Grilling no concerns arose from the animal source of the food enzyme, from its
