Gut Microbes, 2023 Women’s health encompasses life-course healthcare, and mounting evidence emphasizes the pivotal contribution of gut microbiota. Therefore, understanding the temporal dynamics of gut microbiota and how age influences disease-gut microbiota associations is

Maternal high fat diet during pregnancy and lactation alters hepatic expression of insulin like growth factor-2 and key microRNAs in the adult offspring [PDF]
, 2009 Background miRNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene functions. Maternal dietary modifications during pregnancy and gestation have long-term effects on the offspring, but it is not known whether a maternal high fat (HF) diet during ...

Experimental demonstration that offspring fathered by old males have shorter telomeres and reduced lifespans [PDF]
, 2018 Offspring of older parents frequently show reduced longevity, but the mechanisms driving this so-called 'Lansing effect' are unknown. While inheritance of short telomeres from older parents could underlie this effect, studies to date in different species

Managing \u27shades of grey\u27: a focus group study exploring community-dwellers’ views on advance care planning in older people [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Community-dwelling consumers of healthcare are increasing, many aging with life-limiting conditions and deteriorating cognition. However, few have had advance care planning discussions or completed documentation to ensure future care ...

BiomoleculesPIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that are almost exclusively expressed in germ cells to silence harmful transposons to maintain genome stability. PIWIL4 is guided by its associated piRNAs to transposable elements, where it recruits

Selection, inheritance, and the evolution of parent-offspring interactions
, 2004 Very few studies have examined parent-offspring interactions from a quantitative genetic perspective. We used a cross-fostering design and measured genetic correlations and components of social selection arising from two parental and two offspring ...

Association of Parent and Offspring Religiosity With Offspring Suicide Ideation and Attempts [PDF]
JAMA Psychiatry, 2018 Previous studies have shown an inverse association between offspring religiosity and suicidal ideation/attempts, but the association of parent religiosity on offspring suicidal ideation/attempts has not been examined.To examine associations of parent and offspring religiosity with suicide ideation and attempts in offspring.The study is based on ...

Influence of pre-reproductive maternal enrichment on coping response to stress and expression of c-Fos and glucocorticoid receptors in adolescent offspring [PDF]
, 2017 Environmental enrichment (EE) is an experimental setting broadly used for investigating the effects of complex social, cognitive, and sensorimotor stimulations on brain structure and function.

Parent-Offspring Conflict [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 Is this soap opera or science? It can be both, but in evolutionary biology it refers to the subtly different ways natural selection acts on genes expressed in parents and their offspring. To give a concrete example, consider a parent with two offspring: other things being equal, the parent is likely to be under natural selection to give equal amounts ...

Retinoblastoma makes its mark on imprinting in plants [PDF]
, 2008 Genomic imprinting results in the preferential expression of alleles from either the maternal or paternal chromosomes. This epigenetic process occurs in embryonic and extra-embryonic (placental) tissues of mammals, but only in the extra-embryonic ...
