“Yet the Problem Remains”: Why Genetic Determinism Still Haunts Biomedical Research

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT After the horrors of the Holocaust and its connections to eugenics were revealed to the world, many post‐war population geneticists sought to establish rhetorical distance from the Nazi's state‐led campaigns, without abandoning their belief that actively shaping the population's genetics would produce a prosperous society.

Modeling the Genetic Basis of Individual Differences in Susceptibility to Gulf War Illness

Brain Sciences, 2020
Between 25% and 30% of the nearly one million military personnel who participated in the 1991 Persian Gulf War became ill with chronic symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal to nervous system dysfunction.

Neuroimaging Evidence of Major Morpho-Anatomical and Functional Abnormalities in the BTBR T+TF/J Mouse Model of Autism [PDF]

, 2013
BTBR T+tf/J (BTBR) mice display prominent behavioural deficits analogous to the defining symptoms of autism, a feature that has prompted a widespread use of the model in preclinical autism research.

Shikimate pathway disruption in yeast induces metabolite self‐assembly into toxic aggregates

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, shikimate pathway disruption induces toxic metabolite assemblies. Deleting ARO4 plus phenylalanine (Phe) feeding causes Phenylalanine accumulation, lowers ARO3 activity, and triggers amyloid‐like fibril formation. Deleting ARO3 plus tyrosine (Tyr) feeding leads to Tyrosine buildup and similar fibril assembly.

Effects of housing density in five inbred strains of mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
To evaluate the effect of increased mouse density in a cage, mice were housed at the density recommended by the 1996 Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and at densities that were approximately 2, 2.6, and 3 times greater.

Auditory brainstem responses in 10 inbred strains of mice [PDF]

Brain Research, 2006
The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is an evoked potential response of auditory activity in the auditory nerve and subsequent fiber tracts and nuclei within the auditory brainstem pathways. The threshold, amplitude, and latency analysis of the ABR provides information on the peripheral hearing status and the integrity of brainstem pathways.

Gamma‐irradiated Newcastle disease virus: an alternative inactivated oncolytic virotherapy

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
To overcome biological risks associated with using live NDV as an oncolytic therapy, we developed gamma‐NDV as a safer alternative. Using a murine model for skin cancer, we show that intratumor administration of gamma‐NDV outperformed live‐NDV in terms of reducing tumor growth and improving overall animal survival. Abstract Newcastle disease virus (NDV)

The transcription factors TaABI4 and TaNAC‐A1 fine‐tune TaCYP94‐A1 transcription to modulate seed dormancy in wheat

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
A module involving the transcription factors TaABI4 and TaNAC‐A1, and the cytochrome P450 TaCYP94‐A1 precisely regulates seed dormancy levels through plant hormone crosstalk, providing targets for improving resistance to pre‐harvest sprouting in wheat.

DNA Methylation Changes More Slowly Than Physiological States in Response to Weight Loss in Genetically Diverse Mouse Strains

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Responses to a high fat, high sucrose (HFHS) diet vary greatly among inbred strains of mice. We sought to examine the epigenetic (DNA methylation) changes underlying these differences as well as variation in weight loss when switched to a low-fat chow ...
