Cell cycle regulation and cytoskeletal remodelling are critical processes in the nutritional programming of embryonic development. by Angelina Swali, Sarah McMullen, Helen Hayes, Lorraine Gambling, Harry J McArdle, Simon C Langley-Evans

“…While these describe processes leading from nutritional insult to development of the actual pathology, the initial underlying cause of the programming effect remains elusive. To establish the primary drivers of programming, this study aimed to capture embryonic gene and protein changes in the whole embryo at the time of nutritional insult rather than downstream phenotypic effects. …”
