Activation of Store-Operated Calcium Entry and Mitochondiral Respiration by Enterovirus 71 Is Essential for Efficient Virus Replication

This paper shows that EV71 infection triggers store-operated Ca2+ entry and mitochondrial respiration, which are essential for virus replication and release.

Can increased prenatal exposure to thyroid hormones alter physiology and behaviour in the long-term? Insights from an experimental study in Japanese quails.

This study investigates the long-term effects of maternal thyroid hormone exposure on Japanese quail behavior, plasma hormone levels, and brain gene expression, finding no significant effects.

From maternal glucocorticoid and thyroid hormones to epigenetic regulation of gene expression: an experimental study in a wild bird species

This study examines how prenatal exposure to maternal glucocorticoids and thyroid hormones affects offspring stress response, DNA methylation, and gene expression in great tits.

Prenatal thyroid hormones accelerate postnatal growth and telomere shortening in wild great tits

This study investigates how prenatal thyroid hormones affect postnatal growth, telomere shortening, and survival in wild great tits, finding accelerated growth but no immediate telomere length changes.

From climate warming to accelerated cellular ageing: an experimental heating study in a wild passerine bird

This study shows that increased early-life temperature in great tits accelerates telomere shortening, potentially reducing survival, without affecting growth or fledging survival.

Is maternal thyroid hormone deposition subject to a trade-off between self and egg because of iodine? An experimental study in rock pigeon

This study investigates whether iodine restriction affects maternal thyroid hormone production and transfer to eggs in rock pigeons, finding reduced egg production but no change in hormone levels.

Co-evolved maternal effects selectively eliminate offspring depending on resource availability

The paper shows that maternal testosterone in eggs has context-dependent effects on chick survival and growth based on food availability, resolving a paradox in maternal effects.

Testing for context-dependent effects of maternal thyroid hormones on offspring survival and physiology: an experimental approach manipulating temperature in a wild bird species

This study tests if maternal thyroid hormones affect offspring survival and physiology in a temperature-dependent manner in wild birds, finding no clear context-dependent effects.

Born to be young: prenatal thyroid hormones increase early-life telomere length

This study shows that prenatal thyroid hormone exposure in birds increases telomere length and may influence longevity by affecting biological age at birth.

Elevated exposure to prenatal thyroid hormones affects embryonic mortality but has no clear effects into adulthood

This study examines the short- and long-term effects of prenatal thyroid hormone exposure in Japanese quail, finding increased hatching success but no clear long-term impacts.

Testing different forms of regulation of yolk thyroid hormone transfer in pied flycatchers

The study investigates maternal regulation of thyroid hormone transfer to eggs in pied flycatchers by manipulating T4 levels and measuring T3 changes, finding mothers can regulate T4 to T3 conversion but not follicle-level control.

Maternally-transferred thyroid hormones and life-history variation in birds

This study examines the relationship between maternal thyroid hormone levels in bird eggs and life-history traits across 34 species, finding higher TH concentrations in migratory and precocial species.

Plastic but repeatable: rapid adjustments of mitochondrial function and density during reproduction in a wild bird species

The paper measures mitochondrial function and density in wild pied flycatchers during different reproductive stages, finding both repeatability and rapid plasticity in these traits.

Prenatal thyroid hormone exposure increases growth but not oxidative stress in a wild passerine species

This study shows that maternal thyroid hormone transfer increases nestling growth without increasing oxidative stress in a wild passerine bird.
