Maturation of spinal motor control through developmental changes in ion currents
Abstract figure legend Ion channels of spinal neurons have been shown to change during development in a wide range of species. These changes occur at specific stages of development. An important developmental process is the maturation of motor control by which the body acquires new movements or refines movements already present.

Disrupted Vestibular Nuclei Neuron Development in a Chick Model for Congenital Vestibular Disorders
ABSTRACT Children with syndromic, congenital vestibular disorders (CVDs) form a sac‐like inner ear with missing or truncated semicircular canals and experience delayed motor development with lifelong challenges to maintain posture and balance. How the abnormal inner ear affects downstream central vestibular neural circuitry has not been investigated ...

ABSTRACT Background Racing Homer pigeons are valued for both racing and meat production; however, limited information on their growth dynamics and genetic parameters in Bangladesh restricts the development of structured and efficient breeding programs.

Incubation is vital for avian embryo development but demands significant parental investment, potentially at the cost of self‐maintenance and immune function. For example, the acute phase response (APR), a systemic reaction against inflammation, infection or tissue injury, can trigger sickness behaviours such as reduced activity and foraging.

Practitioner Review: Infant mental health meets cell and molecular biology – a look to the future
Background A major research effort in the past two decades has begun to illuminate how experience ‘gets under the skin’ – that is – the cellular and molecular processes that are associated with adversity and resilience. Methods We selectively review three areas of this research: epigenetics, especially DNA methylation, telomere length, and inflammatory

Retinoic acid (RA) regulates the positional identity of cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) through the transcription factors Alx1 and Alx4. Upon receiving RA from the local environment, liganded RAR/RXR heterodimers activate the expression of Alx1 and Alx4, which promote the frontonasal identity of CNCCs and inhibit the first pharyngeal arch identity ...

NIBV Induces Incomplete Autophagy via AMPK‐TFEB, Causing Kidney Injury in Chicks
This study reveals that NIBV can inhibit the nuclear translocation of TFEB by suppressing the expression of AMPK, leading to the blockade of autophagolysosomal functions, in turn increasing NIBV replication and triggering severe kidney injury in chicks.

ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

miR‐21‐5p protects embryonic growth and heart function during developmental hypoxia by dampening HIF responses and shifting gene networks toward improved cardiomyocyte survival and calcium handling. This work identifies miR‐21‐5p as a promising therapeutic target for preventing fetal growth restriction and cardiovascular impairment in high‐risk ...
