Repair of mtDNA in vertebrates

Article Abstract:

Damage of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in vertebrates and its potential repair may profitably be considered relative to repair pathways for eukaryotic and bacterial nuclear DNA. The repair in those genomes takes place in two combined steps that involve recognition of damage and building a repair patch. Some proteins may act in more than one repair pathway. Classes of DNA damage that are suitable for repair in mtDNA are reviewed with consideration given to enzymatic mechanisms and implications for aging and for mitochondrial disease in humans.

Hydroids, peptides and evolution: Seventh International Workshop on Hydroid Development

Article Abstract:

The Seventh International Workshop on Hydroid Development, which was held in Tutzing, Germany, on Sep 22-25, 1997, discussed issues regarding the emergence of GLWamide peptides in all classes of cnidaria and the implication of the discoveries of more molecules influencing developmental processes. Among the the workshop's speakers were Thomas Bosch, Toshitaka Fujisawa, Ann Grens and Michael Walther.
