Project description:Based on snSeq of back, dorsal digit and ventral digit skin from 2 fetal donations at 14 weeks EGA we report differential expression of signaling and structural molecules between different skin regions, specifically as related to the distinction between hair follicle producing and dermatoglyph producing skin.
Project description:Bariatric surgical techniques are known to cause weight loss and diabetes remission to varying degrees in severly obese patients. However, the mechanisms involved in the restoration of beta-cell function remain to be uncovered. In this study, the leptin-deficient ob/ob mouse was used as a model to investigate the effect of EGA bariactric surgery on pancreatic islet gene expression.

Project description:There is an inevitable need for combining in vitro and in vivo culture systems during specific developmental time points to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of early embryo development which would yield insights into the molecular pathways controlling early development and to improve our knowledge in regulation of embryonic development. In current study, we aimed to understand the influences of alternative culture conditions (in vivo or in vitro) during EGA event on embryonic developmental rate, gene expression pattern and subsequent influences on pathways and biological functions controlling bovine embryo development.
