MiR-21-5p Protects Embryonic Growth and Heart Function During Developmental Hypoxia by Dampening HIF Responses and Altering Gene Expression

Fetal hypoxia is a common complication of pregnancy that increases cardiovascular risk in offspring. This study tests whether miR-21-5p upregulation during developmental hypoxia protects embryonic growth and cardiac function. Using neonatal rat …

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae J elicits an antioxidant response and decreases the expression of ciliary genes in infected swine epithelial cells

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the most costly pathogen for swine production. Although several studies have focused on the host-bacterium association, little is known about the changes in gene expression of swine cells upon infection. To improve our …

Global gene expression analysis provides insight into local adaptation to geothermal streams in tadpoles of the Andean toad Rhinella spinulosa

The anuran Rhinella spinulosa is distributed along the Andes Range at altitudes that undergo wide daily and seasonal variation in temperature. One of the populations inhabits geothermal streams, a stable environment that influences life history …
