Evolutionary ecology of the North Atlantic Talitridae (Crustacea, Amphipoda): A review [PDF]

Zoosystematics and Evolution
Four primary estuarine/marine ecotopes recognized in the North Atlantic continental littoral and continental terrestrial margins give rise to the following ecotypes: wrack generalists (=beach-hoppers), psammophilic talitrids (=sandburrowing-hoppers ...

Valproic acid and bladder healing: an experimental study in rats

Revista do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgiões, 2022
Purpose: to recognize the effects of valproic acid (VPA), an epigenetic drug, on the bladder healing process, in rats. Method: twenty male Wistar rats were divided in two groups: experimental (A), treated with VPA (150mg/Kg/day), and control (B) with ...

The females' response to male attractiveness: Mate choice, larvae production and differential brain protein expression

Ethology, Volume 129, Issue 10, Page 515-526, October 2023., 2023
Our study in Tenebrio molitor employed behavioral and proteomic analyses to establish a correlation between female mate choice and molecular changes in the female brain. We found that females preferred mating with more attractive males, who in turn had a greater likelihood of successfully mating and producing more larvae with attractive males than with

Patterns of Reliability: Assessing the Reproducibility and Integrity of DNA Methylation Measurement

Patterns, 2020
Summary: DNA methylation plays an important role in both normal human development and risk of disease. The most utilized method of assessing DNA methylation uses BeadChips, generating an epigenome-wide “snapshot” of >450,000 observations (probe ...

Quercetin as an Emerging Anti-Melanoma Agent: A four-focus area therapeutic development strategy

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2016
Replacing current refractory treatments for melanoma with new prevention and therapeutic approaches is crucial in order to successfully treat this aggressive cancer form. Melanoma develops from neural crest cells, which express tyrosinase -- a key enzyme

Epigenetic DNA changes and stem cells therapy [PDF]

Archive of Oncology, 2013
We are starting to understand the fundamental biological processes which underlie the DNA physical properties. Of particular importance is the field of epigenetics, which literally means 'outside conventional genetics', now used to describe the study ...

Juvenile methylphenidate reduces prefrontal cortex plasticity via D3 receptor and BDNF in adulthood

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014
Background: Early drug intervention in childhood disorders aims to maximize individual potential in the short- and long-term. Consistently, juvenile exposure to psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate (MPH), reduces risk for substance use in animals ...

Genome-wide DNA methylation and long-term ambient air pollution exposure in Korean adults

Clinical Epigenetics, 2019
Background Ambient air pollution is associated with numerous adverse health outcomes, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood; epigenetic effects including altered DNA methylation could play a role. To evaluate associations of long-term air

A network analysis of crab metamorphosis and the hypothesis of development as a process of unfolding of an intensive complexity

Scientific Reports, 2021
Development has intrigued humanity since ancient times. Today, the main paradigm in developmental biology and evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) is the genetic program, in which development is explained by the interplay and interaction of ...
