Identification in rats of a programming window for reproductive tract masculinization, disruption of which leads to hypospadias and cryptorchidism (2008)
Journal Article
Welsh, M., Saunders, P. T. K., Fisken, M., Scott, H. M., Hutchison, G. R., Smith, L. B., & Sharpe, R. M. (2008). Identification in rats of a programming window for reproductive tract masculinization, disruption of which leads to hypospadias and cryptorchidism. Journal of Clinical Investigation, 118(4), 1479-1490. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI34241

Becoming a phenotypic male is ultimately determined by androgen-induced masculinization. Disorders of fetal masculinization, resulting in hypospadias or cryptorchidism, are common, but their cause remains unclear. Together with the adult-onset disord...

Expression of the GABA(A) receptor gamma4-subunit gene in discrete nuclei within the zebra finch song system (2008)
Journal Article
Thode, C., Guettinger, H. R., & Darlison, M. G. (2008). Expression of the GABA(A) receptor gamma4-subunit gene in discrete nuclei within the zebra finch song system. Neuroscience, 157, 143-152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2008.08.057

The acquisition, production and maintenance of song by oscine birds is a form of audition-dependent learning that, in many ways, resembles the process by which humans learn to speak. In songbirds, the generation of structured song is determined by th... Read More about Expression of the GABA(A) receptor gamma4-subunit gene in discrete nuclei within the zebra finch song system.

Donkey nutrition, Chapter 1 (2008)
Book Chapter
Smith, D., & Wood, S. (2008). Donkey nutrition, Chapter 1. In D. Svendsen (Ed.), The professional handbook of the donkey (10-27). Whttet Books

This chapter focus on the significant aspects regarding the nutrition of donkeys. Topics include: the donkey's natural feeding patterns, the structure of the donkey's gut, physical breakdown, chemical breakdown, the nature of donkey's food, water req... Read More about Donkey nutrition, Chapter 1.

Metamorphosis of mangrove crab megalopae, Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae): effects of interspecific versus intraspecific settlement cues (2008)
Journal Article
Simith, D. D. J. D. B., & Diele, K. (2008). Metamorphosis of mangrove crab megalopae, Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae): effects of interspecific versus intraspecific settlement cues. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 362, 101-107. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jembe.2008.06.005

It has recently been shown that metamorphosis of Ucides cordatus megalopae is triggered by substrata from the mangrove forest habitat, and, in particular, adult conspecific odours. Here we demonstrate that the gender of the odour-emitting crabs is in...

Relationship between Androgen Action in the “Male Programming Window,” Fetal Sertoli Cell Number, and Adult Testis Size in the Rat (2008)
Journal Article
Scott, H. M., Hutchison, G. R., Jobling, M. S., McKinnell, C., Drake, A. J., & Sharpe, R. M. (2008). Relationship between Androgen Action in the “Male Programming Window,” Fetal Sertoli Cell Number, and Adult Testis Size in the Rat. Endocrinology, 149, 5280-5287. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2008-0413

Fetal androgen action is an important determinant of Sertoli cell (SC) number at birth. Androgens “program” reproductive tract development in rats between embryonic d (e) 15.5 and e17.5 (“male programming window”), and this is reflected for life by a...

Journal Article
MacLaine, N. J., Øster, B., Bundgaard, B., Fraser, J. A., Buckner, C., Lazo, P. A., Meek, D. W., Höllsberg, P., & Hupp, T. R. (2008). A Central Role for CK1 in Catalyzing Phosphorylation of the p53 Transactivation Domain at Serine 20 after HHV-6B Viral Infection. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 283, 28563-28573. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M804433200

The tumor suppressor protein p53 is activated by distinct cellular stresses including radiation, hypoxia, type I interferon, and DNA/RNA virus infection. The transactivation domain of p53 contains a phosphorylation site at Ser20 whose modification st...
