Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and Transient Systemic Hypoxia–Ischemia Result in Subtle Alterations in Dendritic Complexity in Medial Frontal Cortical Neurons in Juvenile and Young Adul... by Zarena M. Dominguez, Suzy Davies, Nathaniel G. Pavlik, Jessie C. Newville, Brooke R. Hafer, Clement P. Jose, Jessica Gross, Roberto N. Almeida Mancero, Lauren L. Jantzie, Daniel D. Savage, Jessie R. Maxwell

“…Intriguingly, PAE has been linked with an increased risk of transient systemic hypoxia–ischemia (TSHI), which alone results in suboptimal fetal growth and neurodevelopmental consequences. Here, using two translationally relevant preclinical models, we investigated the short-term and lasting effects of PAE and TSHI on the morphology of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a region important in executive function, and tested whether PAE interacts with TSHI to produce a distinct pattern of injury relative to either condition alone. …”

OBSCN undergoes extensive alternative splicing during human cardiac and skeletal muscle development by Ali Oghabian, Per Harald Jonson, Swethaa Natraj Gayathri, Mridul Johari, Ella Nippala, David Gomez Andres, Francina Munell, Jessica Camacho Soriano, Maria Angeles Sanchez Duran, Juha Sinisalo, Heli Tolppanen, Johanna Tolva, Peter Hackman, Marco Savarese, Bjarne Udd

“…Conclusions We conclude that the splicing of OBSCN is extensively regulated during the human skeletal/cardiac muscle development. We developed an interactive visualization tool that can be used by clinicians and researchers to study the inclusion of specific OBSCN exons in pre- and postnatal cardiac and skeletal muscles and access the statistics for the differential inclusion of the exons across the studied sample groups. …”
