European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) position paper on screening, diagnosis and investigation of paediatric metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common reason for elevated liver enzymes in children in Europe, affecting more than 5% of all children. Since the last iteration of this position paper, there have been substantial advances in our understanding of the disease.

Impact of plant breeding on the responsiveness of maize and wheat varieties to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiont

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

Derivation of a germline competent transgenic Fischer 344 embryonic stem cell line. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Embryonic stem (ES) cell-based gene manipulation is an effective method for the generation of mutant animal models in mice and rats. Availability of germline-competent ES cell lines from inbred rat strains would allow for creation of new genetically ...

Finding Mr. Right: Housing Quality Affects Male Mouse Attractiveness to Females, With Implications for Conservation Captive Breeding

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Housing quality affects male mouse attractiveness to females ABSTRACT Females generally prefer mates with traits indicating low stress (e.g., large size; good health). In captivity, stress from suboptimal housing might therefore reduce male attractiveness.

Improvement of Mouse Spermatozoa Freezing at ‐80°C With Ascorbic Acid 2‐Glucoside at Thawing Phase

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm cryopreservation is the most common method to maintain a great number of mutant mouse lines. However, the use of liquid nitrogen (LN2) for freezing presents considerable problems in terms of cost, safety, and accessibility. For this reason, the storage of semen samples at ‐80° in ultra‐freezers has been increasingly used in ...

Genetical genomic determinants of alcohol consumption in rats and humans

BMC Biology, 2009
Background We have used a genetical genomic approach, in conjunction with phenotypic analysis of alcohol consumption, to identify candidate genes that predispose to varying levels of alcohol intake by HXB/BXH recombinant inbred rat strains.

“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.

Fischer 344 and Lewis rat strains as a model of genetic vulnerability to drug addiction

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Today it is well acknowledged that both nature and nurture play important roles in the genesis of psychopathologies, including drug addiction. Increasing evidence suggests that genetic factors contribute for at least 40-60 % of the variation in liability

Post‐Transplant Bendamustine as a Platform for Immune Modulation After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐transplant cyclophosphamide (PT‐CY) remains the standard of care for graft‐versus‐host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), yet relapse, delayed immune reconstitution, infections, and organ toxicity represent persistent and clinically meaningful limitations.

Social learning promotes nicotine self-administration by facilitating the extinction of conditioned aversion in isogenic strains of rats

Scientific Reports, 2017
Both social environment and genetic factors are critical for smoking initiation and nicotine addiction. We reported that rats developed conditioned flavor (i.e., taste and odor) aversion to intravenously self-administered (IVSA) nicotine, and that social
