microRNAs and Gene–Environment Interactions in Autism: Effects of Prenatal Maternal Stress and the SERT Gene on Maternal microRNA Expression

Frontiers
Background: Genetics and environment both are critical in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but their interaction (G × E) is less understood.

Limitations to intergenerational inheritance: subchronic paternal stress preconception does not influence offspring anxiety

Nature
We report that subchronic CORT treatment of male breeders reduced their week-on-week body weight gain and altered NR3C1 and CRH gene expression in the...

Parental experiences orchestrate locust egg hatching synchrony by regulating nuclear export of precursor miRNA

Nature
Here, we find that transcription factor Forkhead box protein N1 (FOXN1) responds to high population density and activates the polypyrimidine tract-binding...
