Development and characterization of a double-crested cormorant hepatic cell line, DCH22, for chemical screening by Tasnia Sharin, Doug Crump, Jason M. O’Brien

“…Developing a DCCO cell line for in vitro toxicological screening will ideally provide improved understanding of the effects of environmental chemicals given the large differences in sensitivity between laboratory and wild avian species. In this study, an immortalized DCCO hepatic cell line, DCH22, was established from the liver of a day 22 female embryo as a potential alternative to primary DCCO embryonic hepatocytes (DCEH) for chemical screening. …”

Interactions with iridophores and the tissue environment required for patterning melanophores and xanthophores during zebrafish adult pigment stripe formation. by Larissa B Patterson, David M Parichy

“…We found that iridophores themselves express Csf1, and by ablating iridophores in wild-type and mutant backgrounds, we showed that iridophores contribute to organizing both melanophores and xanthophores during the development of stripes and interstripes. …”

Obesity-induced activation of NADPH oxidase 2 prolongs cardiac repolarization via inhibiting K+ currents. by Bin Li, Yating Chen, Maoxiang Zhao, Zhijie Chen, Zhuhui Lin, Jie Liu, Xueping Wang, Jiancheng Zhang, Yang Li

“…We investigated the effect of Nox2 on cardiac repolarization without compromising its expression and function in other systems using mice with conditional cardiac-specific deletions of Nox2 (knockout [KO]). Wild-type, KO, and Flox littermate mice were randomized to either the control or high-fat diet (HFD) groups. …”

Identification of novel genes responsible for a pollen killer present in local natural populations of Arabidopsis thaliana. by Anthony Ricou, Matthieu Simon, Rémi Duflos, Marianne Azzopardi, Fabrice Roux, Françoise Budar, Christine Camilleri

“…Furthermore, we report the co-occurrence and behavior of killer and sensitive genotypes in several local populations, a prerequisite for studying gamete killer evolution in the wild. This highlights the potential of the Arabidopsis model not only for functional studies of gamete killers but also for investigating their evolutionary trajectories at complementary geographical scales.…”
