Trace fossils and substrates of the terminal Proterozoic-Cambrian transition: implications for the record of early bilaterians and sediment mixing.

abstract：:A study was undertaken to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which glucocorticoids induce cleft palate in mice. It was hypothesized that a compound such as triamcinolone acetonide inhibits mRNA synthesis; that this results later in depressed protein synthesis; and that the latter is ultimately responsible for slowe...
