How genetic mutations affect development more complex than previously thought
A large-scale study, published in Wellcome Open Research and which passed peer review today, has shown that inactivating the same gene in mouse embryos that are virtually genetically identical can result in a wide range of ...

BPA changes fetal development of the mammary gland, can raise breast cancer risk
A new culture system that tests the role of chemical exposure on the developing mammary gland has found that bisphenol A (BPA) directly affects the mammary gland of mouse embryos. The study results, to be presented Friday ...

Curcumin reduces high glucose-induced NTDs in mice embryos
(HealthDay)—Curcumin appears to reduce high glucose-induced neural tube defect (NTD) formation by blocking cellular stress and activation of caspases, according to an experimental study published in the June 4 issue of ...

Seeing the brain at greater depth
Brain tissue is opaque, so classical microscopy methods require slicing the brain into ultra-thin slivers to allow light to shine through. Techniques have been developed to enhance brain tissue transparency, but the chemicals ...

High levels of a specific enzyme in fetuses linked to anxiety
Mouse embryos with the human enzyme CYP2C19 in the brain develop a smaller hippocampus and anxiety-like behaviour as adults. The results of this new study, which is published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, agree in ...

Maternal diabetes impairs methylation of imprinted gene in oocytes
For the first time, researchers have shown that poorly controlled maternal diabetes has an adverse effect on methylation of the maternal imprinting gene Peg3, contributing to impaired development in offspring.

Secrets of a t-haplotype gene revealed: Decade-long hunt turns up key gene involved in early mammalian development
The t haplotype in mice—a block of linked genes occupying the proximal half of mouse chromosome 17—is one of the best-studied examples of a selfish genetic element. Through an elaborate sperm-poisoning system, heterozygous ...
