The transcriptomic evolution of mammalian pregnancy:gene expression innovations in endometrial stromal fibroblasts [PDF]
, 2016 The endometrial stromal fibroblast (ESF) is a cell type present in the uterine lining of therian mammals. In the stem lineage of eutherian mammals, ESF acquired the ability to differentiate into decidual cells in order to allow embryo implantation.

Experimental infection of Monodelphis domestica with Rickettsia parkeri
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2020 This study aimed to evaluate the infection of the marsupial Monodelphis domestica (the gray short-tailed opossum) by Rickettsia parkeri and its role as an amplifier of the bacterium for Amblyomma ticks. Ten M. domestica males were inoculated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and 106 Vero cells infected with R. parkeri.

ABCB4 mediates diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in laboratory opossums[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2010 High-responding opossums are susceptible to developing hypercholesterolemia on a high-cholesterol diet, but low-responding opossums are resistant. The observation of low biliary cholesterol and low biliary phospholipids in high responders suggested that ...

The evolution, distribution and diversity of endogenous circoviral elements in vertebrate genomes [PDF]
, 2018 Circoviruses (family Circoviridae) are small, non-enveloped viruses that have short, single-stranded DNA genomes. Circovirus sequences are frequently recovered in metagenomic investigations, indicating that these viruses are widespread, yet they remain ...

Visual acuity in the short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica). [PDF]
Neuroscience, 2012 Monodelphis domestica (short-tailed opossum) is an emerging animal model for studies of neural development due to the extremely immature state of the nervous system at birth and its subsequent rapid growth to adulthood. Yet little is known about its normal sensory discrimination abilities.
