Background & Aims: We have previously shown that aberrant crypt foci (ACF) are the putative precursor lesions of colorectal adenomas and subsequent cancer in humans using magnifying endoscopy.
Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) have emerged as a putative precursor to colorectal adenoma, with potential use as a biomarker of colorectal cancer.
This is also of relevance to assessing the formation routes of the amino acid glycine, since aminoacetonitrile is the putative precursor to glycine via the Strecker synthesis, the mechanism postulated to have produced the amino acid glycine in meteorites.
Both the iron complex, i.e., the complete mimic, and the ligand, i.e., the putative precursor of this mimic, provided protection against endothelial cell injury induced by exogenous hydrogen peroxide.
Moreover, at the same time, the putative precursor lesions, the NT-R-expressing PanIN 2 and PanIN 3, may also be destroyed.
RhlG is thought to catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of β-ketodecanoyl-ACP, which is an intermediate of fatty acid de novo biosynthesis, resulting in β-hydroxydecanoyl-ACP, a putative precursor for RL biosynthesis.
Selected alignments, condensed by location, were used to extract surrounding putative precursor sequences from genome.
Individual small RNA reads, now translated from colorspace to DNA sequence, were re-aligned with putative precursor segments using BLAST [31].
Persistence of DCX mRNA in the absence of DCX expression, which at 28 years is limited to the putative precursor cells in the SGZ, is consistent with the role of stabilized mRNA in neuronal maintenance [34].
To learn about their distributions, and as well, the distributions of their putative precursor cells in the skeletal mesenchyme associated with the Op, we examined Alizarin Red labeling in two strains of eGFP-expressing transgenic zebrafish.
The piscidin gene consists of three introns and four exons that code for a putative precursor comprising a hydrophobic signal peptide, the mature piscidin and a carboxy-terminal prodomain [13].
