Mapping of Genetic Factors That Elicit Intermale Aggressive Behavior on Mouse Chromosome 15: Intruder Effects and the Complex Genetic Basis.

Despite high estimates of the heritability of aggressiveness, the genetic basis for individual differences in aggression remains unclear.Previously, we showed that the wild-derived mouse strain MSM/Ms (MSM) exhibits highly aggressive behaviors, and identified chromosome 15 (Chr 15) as the location of one of the genetic factors behind this escalated

Are Aminoglycoside Antibiotics TRPing Your Metabolic Switches?

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are broadly implicated in the developmental programs of most tissues.Amongst these tissues, skeletal muscle and adipose are noteworthy for being essential in establishing systemic metabolic balance.TRP channels respond to environmental stimuli by supplying intracellular calcium that instigates enzymatic c
