Microbiota influences odor detection in mice

For the first time, researchers have shown that when the microbiota is absent, both olfactory epithelium development and its capacity to detect odors are affected.

Remodelling of the hepatic epigenetic landscape of glucose-intolerant rainbow trout by nutritional status and dietary carbohydrates

Analyzing the modulation of the hepatic epigenetic landscape in rainbow trout genome by nutritional status and nutrients shed new light on processes which contribute to the poor utilization of some of this new ingredients such as dietary carbohydrates.

Low birth rate after cloning: the consequences of highly disruptive interactions between uterus and embryo

When comparing cloned animal embryos and embryos that come about as a result of artificial insemination, there is a difference in gene expression at the moment implantation occurs in the uterus for more than 5 000 genes. Researchers at INRA and the University of California are shining the spotlight on this critical step for the survival of cloned embryos in cattle. Published in the 8 December 2016 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, these findings are furthering knowledge of hitherto poorly-understood mechanisms that govern interactions between cloned embryos and the uterus. They may hold the key to improving cloning in mammals.
