Maternal allocation of carotenoids increases tolerance to bacterial infection in brown trout

Laure Menin, Matay Hobil

Life-history theory predicts that iteroparous females allocate their resources differently among different breeding seasons depending on their residual reproductive value. In iteroparous salmonids there is typically much variation in egg size, egg number, ...

Waddlia chondrophila induces systemic infection, organ pathology, and elicits Th1-associated humoral immunity in a murine model of genital infection

Alessandra Piersigilli, Joël Gyger, David Baud

Waddlia chondrophila is a known bovine abortigenic Ch/amydia-related bacterium that has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in human. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding how W chondrophila infection spreads, its ability to elicit an ...

An ancestral regulatory mechanism underlies Hoxd gene expression in both developing genitals and digits

Nicolas Lonfat

Coordinated expression of HoxD cluster genes is crucial for the emergence and patterning of both developing digits and external genitalia. As a shared evolutionary origin has been proposed for these secondary structures, which may have accompanied the tran ...

Ductal cells of the pancreas

Anne Grapin-Botton

Ductal cells of the pancreas form the epithelial lining of the branched tubes that deliver enzymes produced by pancreatic acinar cells into the duodenum. In addition, these cells secrete bicarbonate that neutralizes stomach acidity. During development, epi ...

Control of colinearity in AbdB genes of the mouse HoxD complex

Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany

During development, vertebrate Hox genes are activated in a temporal and spatial sequence colinear with the position of the genes within their clusters. To investigate the mechanistic basis of this phenomenon, we used the ES cell technology and the loxP/Cr ...

Male accessory sex organ morphogenesis is altered by loss of function of Hoxd-13

Denis Duboule

The role of the Hox gene Hoxd-13 in postnatal morphogenesis of the male accessory sex organs was examined by correlating the distribution and temporal regulation of expression in the accessory sex organs of postnatal mice with morphologic abnormalities of ...

Deletion of a HoxD enhancer induces transcriptional heterochrony leading to transposition of the sacrum

Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany

A phylogenetically conserved transcriptional enhancer necessary for the activation of Hoxd-11 was deleted from the HoxD complex of mice by targeted mutagenesis. While genetic and expression analyses demonstrated the role of this regulatory element in the a ...

Functional equivalence and rescue among group 11 Hox gene products in vertebral patterning

Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany

Hoxa-11 and Hoxd-11 are paralogous genes required for proper development of the vertebral column, the limbs, and the urogenital system. To further explore the functional relationship between these genes, as well as the potential rescue of one function by t ...
