Guinea Pig Ciliary Muscle Development [PDF]
Optometry and Vision Science, 2014 The purpose of this study was to develop a method for quantifying guinea pig ciliary muscle volume (CMV) and to determine its relationship to age and ocular biometric measurements.Six albino guinea pigs' eyes were collected at each of five ages (n = 30 eyes).

Gene editing restores dystrophin expression in a canine model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
, 2018 Mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin, a protein that maintains muscle integrity and function, cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The deltaE50-MD dog model of DMD harbors a mutation corresponding to a mutational “hotspot” in the human DMD gene.

Acute and chronic cold exposure differentially affects the browning of porcine white adipose tissue
Animal, 2018 Piglets are characteristically cold intolerant and thus susceptible to high mortality. However, browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) can induce non-shivering thermogenesis as a potential strategy to facilitate the animal’s response to cold.

Muscle-specific microRNAs in skeletal muscle development
Developmental Biology, 2016 Proper muscle function constitutes a precondition for good heath and an active lifestyle during an individual's lifespan and any deviations from normal skeletal muscle development and its functions may lead to numerous health conditions including e.g. myopathies and increased mortality.

MicroRNA-222 regulates muscle alternative splicing through Rbm24 during differentiation of skeletal muscle cells [PDF]
, 2016 A number of microRNAs have been shown to regulate skeletal muscle development and differentiation. MicroRNA-222 is downregulated during myogenic differentiation and its overexpression leads to alteration of muscle differentiation process and specialized ...

Cholesterol-derived glucocorticoids control early fate specification in embryonic stem cells
Stem Cell Research, 2015 Aside from its role in cell membrane integrity, cholesterol is a key component in steroid hormone production. The vital functions of steroid hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, glucocorticoids (Gcrts) and mineralocorticoids (Mnrts) in perinatal and ...
