Vision at high latitudes: High sensitivity without specific boreal adaptations in photoreception in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

Harbingers of change: Towards a mechanistic understanding of anticipatory plasticity in animal systems

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phenotypic plasticity is a strategy by which animals alter behaviour, morphology and/or physiology in response to cues of current conditions to cope with environmental heterogeneity.

cba‐miR‐222‐3p involved in photoperiod‐induced apoptosis in testes of striped hamsters by targeting TRAF7

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The cba‐miR‐222‐3p affects the MAPK signaling pathway by targeting TRAF7, thereby participating in the induction of apoptosis in the testes of striped hamsters under different photoperiods. Abstract The role of miRNAs in the regulation of seasonal reproduction in rodents, particularly in relation to photoperiod changes, is still poorly understood ...

The Effect of Melatonin on Behavioral, Molecular, and Histopathological Changes in Cuprizone Model of Demyelination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The protective effects of melatonin (MLT) on various neurodegenerative diseases, including MS, have been suggested.

Integrative Multiparametric Analysis of Circulating Cell‐Free Nucleic Acids of Plasma in Healthy Individuals During Aging

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
We performed the first integrative multiparametric analysis of plasma circulating cell‐free nucleic acids, including nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, as well as ribosomal, messenger, and micro‐RNAs, in a cohort of 139 healthy individuals. We focused on quantity, integrity, and DNA methylation using assays targeting highly repetitive DNA and highly ...
