General description

Cytidine is a nucleoside molecule. It is formed when cytosine is attached to a ribose ring through a β-N1-glycosidic bond.

Application

Cytidine has been used as a non-essential aminoacid component of minimal essential medium (MEM) to analyse interspecies somatic cell nucleus transfer (iSCNT)-derived blastocysts. It has also been used as a supplement in the culture medium of HeLa cells, to study the effects of cytidine addition on rods and rings (RR) induced by glutamine deprivation.
Cytidine has been used as a component to prepare ribonucleoside stock solution to assess its effects on the anaerobic growth of several Bacillus mojavensis strains.

Protein cages have recently emerged as an extraordinary drug-delivery system due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, ease to manipulate and engineer. We have reported earlier the formation and architecture of a do-decameric cage-like architecture of Vibrio cholerae acylphosphatase (VcAcP)

Pioneer transcription factors (PTF) can recognize their binding sites on nucleosomal DNA and trigger chromatin opening for recruitment of other non-pioneer transcription factors. However, critical properties of PTFs are still poorly understood, such as how these transcription factors selectively recognize

Ribosome degradation through the autophagy-lysosome pathway is crucial for cell survival during nutrient starvation, but whether it occurs under normal growth conditions and contributes to animal physiology remains unaddressed. In this study, we identified RNST-2, a C. elegans T2 family
