The parental non-equivalence of imprinting control regions during mammalian development and evolution. by Reiner Schulz, Charlotte Proudhon, Timothy H Bestor, Kathryn Woodfine, Chyuan-Sheng Lin, Shau-Ping Lin, Marine Prissette, Rebecca J Oakey, Déborah Bourc'his

“…Using comparative genomics of 17 extant mammalian species, we show here that, while ICRs in general have been constrained to maintain more CpGs than non-imprinted sequences, the rate of CpG loss at paternal ICRs has indeed been higher than at maternal ICRs during evolution. …”

Are Visual Peripheries Forever Young? by Kalina Burnat

“…While peripheral processing chiefly carries information about motion stimuli features and redirects foveal attention to new objects, it can also take over functions typical for central vision. Here I review the data showing the plasticity of peripheral vision found in functional, developmental, and comparative studies. …”

Transcriptome profiling identifies differentially expressed genes in Huoyan goose ovaries between the laying period and ceased period. by Xinhong Luan, Dawei Liu, Zhongzan Cao, Lina Luo, Mei Liu, Ming Gao, Xiaoying Zhang

“…Genes with a false discovery rate (FDR) ≤0.001 and log2ratio ≧1 or ≤-1 were characterized as differentially expressed, and 344 up-regulated and 344 down-regulated genes were classified into functional categories. Twelve genes that are mainly involved in pathways for reproduction regulation, such as steroid hormone biosynthesis, GnRH signaling pathways, oocyte meiosis, progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation, steroid biosynthesis, calcium signaling pathways, and G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway were selected for validation by a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis, the qRT-PCR results are consistent with the general expression patterns of those genes from the Illumina sequencing. …”

VALUE OF BONE REMODELLING MARKERS IN MANDIBULAR FRACTURE PATIENTS BY GENDER AND BONE MINERAL DENSITY by D.I. Matsyuk, N.B. Kuzniak

“…The high incidence of such fractures is due to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the mandible, as well as a variety of local and general causes. Disturbances in the structural-functional properties of bone tissue can occur as a result of internal and external influences and provide a favorable background for the development of fractures in various locations, including the mandible. …”
