Augmenting and Assaying Nav1.1 Protein Quantity for Dravet Syndrome Therapy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dravet Syndrome (DS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy predominantly caused by heterozygous loss‐of‐function variants in SCN1A, which encodes Nav1.1. Conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in SCN1A were validated to regulate translation in reporter assays, demonstrating the therapeutic viability of increasing Nav1.1 from ...

Circular RNA transcriptome analysis responses to heat stress in the hypothalamus of sows
Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2021 Circular RNAs (circRNAs), as miRNA sponges, have been found to participate in transcriptional control and many important biological processes. Heat stress (HS) severely affects feed intake and milk production of sows. However, the expression and function

, 2019 Local pig breeds are adapted to the specific local environment and fed with various locally available feedstuffs. Besides their genetic merit for agro-biodiversity, they represent the basis for sustainable local pork chains. The present chapter aims to present history and current status of the Basque pig breed, its exterior phenotypic characteristics ...
