DNA Research
Investigators at Tohoku University zero in on DNA research
Published in Medical Devices and Surgical Technology Week, December 17th, 2006
Research findings, "Geminin is essential for the development of preimplantation mouse embryos," are discussed in a new report. "Replication of DNA is strictly controlled to ensure that it occurs only once per cell cycle. Geminin has been thought to serve as a central mediator of this licensing mechanism by binding to and antagonizing the function of Cdt1 and thereby preventing re-replication during S and G2 phases," researchers in Sendai, Japan report.
"We have now generated mice deficient in geminin to elucidate the physiologic role of this protein during development. Lack of geminin was shown to result in preimplantation mortality. A delay in the development of...
