Between Two Great Powers with Different Forms of Expansion: the Incorporation of China into the Capitalist World-Economy and the Future of U.S. Hegemony by Malfred Gerig

map3k1 suppresses terminal differentiation of migratory eye progenitors in planarian regeneration. by Katherine C Lo, Christian P Petersen

“…Using the planarian as a model system, we identify a novel function for map3k1, a MAP3K family member possessing both kinase and ubiquitin ligase domains, to negatively regulate terminal differentiation of stem cells during eye regeneration. Inhibition of map3k1 caused the formation of multiple ectopic eyes within the head, but without controlling overall head, brain, or body patterning. …”
