Although Hox genes have been linked to regulation of proliferation (and thus transformation), the molecular mechanisms required for the proliferative function of Hox proteins have not been identified.

Hox genes: choreographers in neural development, architects of circuit organization. Neuron 80(1), 12-34 (Review article). Boucherat O, Montaron S, Bérubé-Simard FA, Aubin J, Philippidou P, Wellik DM, ...

The team showed that MN1 controls the levels of retinoic acid, a vital molecule in embryo development, and expression patterns of Hox genes, which act like a blueprint guiding the body plan of an ...

本研究针对塞内加尔鳎养殖中高达80%的骨骼畸形问题，首次系统分析了49个hox基因在幼虫至变态期的表达谱。通过RNA-seq技术发现，中央hox基因（如hoxa10a）主导幼虫期中枢-前体轴发育，而后部hox基因（如hoxb13）在变态期激活，揭示了骨骼异常的关键调控窗口。

We all like to imagine we're aging well. Now a simple blood or saliva test promises to tell us by measuring our "biological ...

Despite the conserved role of Hox genes in specifying segmental identity in both flies and vertebrates, the segmentation genes upstream of Hox in Drosophila appear not to be used during ...
