4 unusual facts about nodal


Cerberus gene family

Anterior-posterior patterning by Cerberus is accomplished by acting as an antagonist to nodal, bmp, and wnt signaling molecules in the anterior region of the vertebrate embryo during gastrulation.

Floor plate

Furthermore, in zebrafish, Nodal signaling is required for differentiation of medial floor plate cells whereas Shh is expendable.

Nord-10

With NORD-TSS all users could simultaneously run any of the systems Fortran IV, BASIC, MAC Assembler, NODAL, NORD-PL, or QED.

Situs solitus

For instance, different levels of sonic hedgehog and NODAL proteins on opposite sides of the embryo have been linked to proper bending of the embryonic heart, responsible giving it its asymmetrical form.


Agmark

In addition to the Central AGMARK Laboratory (CAL) in Nagpur, there are Regional AGMARK Laboratories (RALs) in 11 nodal cities (Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Kanpur, Kochi, Guntur, Amritsar, Jaipur, Rajkot, Bhopal).

CMDA

Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, is the nodal planning agency within the Chennai Metropolitan Area

Finite volume method for one dimensional steady state diffusion

The resulting system of linear algebraic equation Linear equation is then solved to obtain distribution of the property \phi at the nodal points by any form of matrix solution technique.

Gastrulation

Many signaling pathways contribute to this reorganization, including BMP, FGF, nodal, and Wnt.

National Large Solar Telescope

The Indian Institute of Astrophysics is the nodal agency charged with various scientific bodies like the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational-Sciences, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) also participating.

Neutral plane

The US Fleet submarines of World War II had a hull section that was not quite circular, causing the nodal circle to separate from the neutral plane, giving rise to additional stresses.

Nodal signaling

The subtilisin-like proprotein convertases (SPC) Furin (Spc1) and PACE4 (Spc4) recognize a specific sequence of the precursor of nodal protein and cleaves it to form the mature nodal ligand.

Primitive streak

Activation of various secreted factors (Vg1, Nodal, Wnt8C, FGF8 and Chordin) and transcription factors (Brachyury and Goosecoid) adjacent to the site of streak formation is required for this process.
