Abstract:
The fundamental biological relevance of the transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) has been studied and described intensively in hundreds of publications. To date, however, only limited data of its structural and functional homologue YY2 are available. Especially, the impact of Yin Yang 2 (YY2) in the regulatory network of YY1 is almost unexplored. This article summarizes all critical aspects that are (or will be) relevant for a better understanding of YY1- and/or YY2-mediated cellular control mechanisms.

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...
