The ciliate Euplotes raikovi heterozygous at the mat genetic locus coreleases two individual species of mating pheromone: Genetic and biochemical evidence.

abstract：:Accumulating evidence suggests cancer cells exhibit a dependency on metabolic pathways regulated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Nevertheless, how the regulation of this metabolic cofactor interfaces with signal transduction networks remains poorly understood in glioblastoma. Here, we report nicotinamide ...
