Vitellogenins are a family of yolk proteins that are by far the most abundant among
oviparous animals. In the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the 6 vitellogenins are …

Distinguishing infectious pathogens from harmless microorganisms is essential for animal
health. The mechanisms used to identify infectious microbes are not fully understood …

Host metabolism is profoundly altered during bacterial infection, both as a consequence of
immune activation and secondary to virulence strategies of invading pathogens. As a result …

In animals, maternal diet and environment can influence the health of offspring. Whether and
how maternal dietary choice impacts the nervous system across multiple generations is not …

Animals integrate developmental and nutritional signals before committing crucial resources
to growth and reproduction; however, the pathways that perceive and respond to these …

The popularity of the ancient, probiotic-rich beverage Kombucha Tea (KT) has surged in part
due to its purported health benefits, which include protection against metabolic diseases; …

All females adopt an evolutionary conserved reproduction strategy; under unfavorable
conditions such as scarcity of food or mates, oocytes remain quiescent. However, the signals …

Reproduction and immunity are energy intensive, intimately linked processes in most
organisms. In women, pregnancy is associated with widespread immunological adaptations …

Animals have evolved responses to low oxygen conditions to ensure their survival. Here, we
have identified the C. elegans zinc finger transcription factor PQM-1 as a regulator of the …

Polyploid cells contain more than 2 copies of the genome and are found in many plant and
animal tissues. Different types of polyploidy exist, in which the genome is confined to either 1 …
