Disease relevance of homeobox

  • Further studies should determine the specific role of these four homeobox genes in the development and progression of human breast cancer and potentially determine if they might be good targets for gene therapy [1].
 

High impact information on homeobox

  • We elucidate the tissue-specific expression of several miRNAs during embryogenesis, including two encoded by genes embedded in homeobox (Hox) clusters, miR-10a and miR-196a [2].
  • Control of cell fates in the central body region of C. elegans by the homeobox gene lin-39 [3].
  • mec-3, a homeobox-containing gene that specifies differentiation of the touch receptor neurons in C. elegans [4].
  • Developmental biology. Homing in on the homeobox [5].
  • Recent progress ranges from the analysis of the control of promoter expression by homeobox genes to detailed analysis of the sites of homophilic and heterophilic interactions via mutagenesis strategies [6].
