Convergent accelerated evolution of mammal-specific conserved non-coding elements in hibernators
Scientific ReportsMammals maintain their body temperature, yet hibernators can temporarily lower their metabolic rate as an energy-saving strategy. It has been proposed that hibernators evolved independently from homeotherms, and it is possible that the convergent ...

Expressions of TLR4, MyD88, IRAK4 and NF-κΒ in the oviduct of Chinese brown frog (Rana dybowskii)
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2019 One special physiological phenomenon of the Chinese brown frog (Rana dybowskii) is that its oviduct goes through expansion prior to pre-hibernation instead of expanding during the breeding period. Our previous study discovered that some cytokines such as
