    Abstract : Spermatogenesis is a complex process that involves the production of sperm cells from germ cells in order to transmit genetic information to progeny. The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) is a non-coding small silencing RNA that guides the PIWI protein to silence target transposon transcripts to regulate the production of germ cells. READ MORE

  4. 3. PDGF-C signaling is required for normal cerebellar development : An analysis of cerebellar malformations in PDGF-C impaired mice

    Keywords : PDGF-C; Cerebellum; Development; PDGFRɑ; Ependyma; Neural migration;

    Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor-C (PDGF-C) and its tyrosine kinase receptor PDGFRɑ have been shown to contribute to several key processes during central nervous system (CNS) development, including normal vascularization and formation of cerebral ventricles and basal membrane of the meninges. Due to redundancy between PDGF-C and PDGF-A, PDGF-C specific roles are sometimes masked and difficult to determine. READ MORE

  5. 4. Aggression mellan hanmöss inhysta i två olika bursystem

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Abstract : Musen (Mus musculus) är, enligt EU:s definition av försöksdjur, det vanligaste försöksdjuret i Sverige. Det är en social liten gnagare som i naturen lever i grupper av olika konstellationer. De påverkas negativt både psykiskt och fysiskt av ensamhållning varför det är lagkrav inom EU att hålla möss i grupp så långt som möjligt. READ MORE

  6. 5. Behavioral responses of mice to the odor of cat urine and horse urine

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Ellen Norlén; [2016]
    Keywords : Mice; prey animal; predator odor; cat urine; bladder urine; horse urine; N-pentyl acetate; behavioral responses;

    Abstract : The detection of predators by prey species is crucial in order to escape the threat posed by a predator. In mammals, the olfactory sensory system is commonly used to detect odors emitted by predators, and to determine how threatening the situation actually is. However, knowledge about this ability is still sparse and in some cases conflicting. READ MORE
