Can growth in captivity alter the calcaneal microanatomy of a wild ungulate? by Cottereau, Romain, Ortiz, Katia, Locatelli, Yann, Houssaye, Alexandra, Cucchi, Thomas

“…Using the calcaneus as a phenotypic marker through qualitative and quantitative 3D microanatomical analyses, we relied on a comparative study across wild boars (Sus scrofa) populations from controlled experimental conditions with different mobility patterns (natural habitat, large pen, and stall) and archaeological specimens collected from middle and late Mesolithic as surrogate for the norm of reaction in European wild boar phenotype before the spread of agriculture and domestic pigs. …”

Sex-specific effects of prenatal bisphenol A exposure on transcriptome-interactome profiles of autism candidate genes in neural stem cells from offspring hippocampus by Kasidit Kasitipradit, Surangrat Thongkorn, Songphon Kanlayaprasit, Thanit Saeliw, Pattanachat Lertpeerapan, Pawinee Panjabud, Depicha Jindatip, Valerie W. Hu, Takako Kikkawa, Noriko Osumi, Tewarit Sarachana

“…In addition, in vitro proliferation assays were conducted, utilizing immunofluorescence staining for Sox2, a stem cell marker, and BrdU to quantify proliferating NSCs. Our results revealed that prenatal BPA exposure induced sex-specific alterations in NSC gene expression, with ASD-related genes such as Atp1a3, Nefl, and Grin1 being particularly dysregulated in male offspring. …”
