Title

Understanding How Mosquitoes Detect Octenol

Hypothesis

The octenol receptor neuron in Aedes aegypti is highly sensitive to (R)-(−)-1-octen-3-ol and responds differently to its enantiomer and structural analogs.

Conclusion

The octenol receptor neuron in Aedes aegypti is very sensitive to (R)-(−)-1-octen-3-ol, and repellents like 2-undecanone can stimulate this neuron at high doses.

Conclusion

Higher mitochondrial function is linked to less brain aging and atrophy.

Zebrafish Gene Expression During Sex Differentiation

Department of Science, Systems and Models, Roskilde University 2008 n=12 publication Evidence: moderate

Jørgensen Anne, Morthorst Jane E, Andersen Ole, Rasmussen Lene J, Bjerregaard Poul

Title

Zebrafish Gene Expression During Sex Differentiation

Hypothesis

The study aims to determine the precise timing of expression of six genes associated with sex differentiation in zebrafish.

Conclusion

The first significant peak in gene expression during the investigated period was dmrt1 at 10 days post hatch, indicating its involvement in early gonadal sex differentiation of males.
