Chordin
Chordin (from Greek χορδή, string, catgut) is a protein with a prominent role in dorsal–ventral patterning during early embryonic development. In humans it is encoded for by the ''CHRD'' gene. History Chordin was originally identified in the African clawed frog (''Xenopus laevis'') in the laboratory of Edward M. De Robertis as a key developmental protein that dorsalizes early vertebrate embryonic tissues. It was first hypothesized that chordin plays a role in the dorsal homeobox genes in Spemann's organizer. The chordin gene was discovered through its activation following use of gsc (goosecoid) and Xnot mRNA injections. The discoverers of chordin concluded that it is expressed in embryo regions where gsc and Xnot were also expressed, which included the prechordal plate, the notochord, and the chordoneural hinge. The expression of the gene in these regions led to the name chordin. Initial functions of chordin were thought to include recruitment of neighboring cells to ...

CHRD-FM
CHRD-FM (105.3 MHz) is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Drummondville, Quebec. It is owned and operated by Bell Media and has a directional antenna with an average effective radiated power of 3,257 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 5,345 watts ( class A). The station has specialized in adult contemporary format since August 2009 and is part of the "Rouge FM" network, which operates across Quebec and Eastern Ontario. It started out as CHRD 1480 kHz and moved to FM in 1997. From about 2001 to 2003, it was part of Astral's CHR network, "Énergie". It became an oldies station in 2003 as part of Astral's new " Boom" network; this format would last until it became "RockDétente" in 2009. All "RockDétente" stations, including CHRD, were rebranded as ''Rouge FM'' on August 18, 2011, at 4:00 p.m. EDT. The last song it played under "RockDétente" was " Pour que tu m'aimes encore" by Celine Dion, which was followed by a "RockDétente" tribute. The ...
