SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS OF MATERNAL DIET DURING PREGNANCY ON THE MURINE FETAL BRAIN TRANSCRIPTOME AND OFFSPRING BEHAVIOR

Significant Effects of Maternal Diet During Pregnancy on the Murine Fetal Brain Transcriptome and Offspring Behavior

BackgroundMaternal over- and undernutrition in pregnancy plays a critical role in fetal brain development and function.The effects of different maternal diet compositions on intrauterine programing of the fetal brain is a lesser-explored area.The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of two chowmaternal diets on fetal brain gene expressi

Exploring the function of protein kinases in schistosomes: perspectives from the laboratory and from comparative genomics

Eukaryotic protein kinases are well conserved through evolution.The genome of Schistosoma mansoni, which causes intestinal schistosomiasis, encodes over 250 putative protein kinases with all of the main eukaryotic groups represented.However, unraveling functional roles for these kinases is a considerable endeavour, particularly as protein kinases r
