Embryonic and fetal development can be affected during gestation by exposure to xenobiotics that cross the placenta. Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are emerging contaminants commonly found in indoor environments; however, whether they can cross the placenta and affect placental development remains u...
Ergosterols are essential components of fungal plasma membranes. Inhibitors targeting ergosterol biosynthesis (ERG) genes are critical for controlling fungal pathogens, including Magnaporthe oryzae, the fungus that causes rice blast. In this study we show that the Trm6/Trm61 complex catalyzes dynami...
Using a mouse MIA model induced by prenatal exposure to Toxoplasma gondii soluble tachyzoite antigen (STAg), we reveal that maternal gut dysbiosis, characterized by increased Firmicutes and Actinobacteria, drives offspring behavioral deficits. This dysbiosis disrupts intestinal barrier integrity and...
Three mice were excised at day 7 after pilocarpine treatment to induce abundant GPNMB expression (Figures 1 and 2). Hippocampal proteins were extracted and pulled down by anti-GPNMB immunoprecipitation for mass-spectrometer assay.
