Investigating milk-derived extracellular vesicles as mediators of maternal stress and environmental intervention

Julia Martz, Baila Hammer, Tristen J. Langen, Benjamin N. Berkowitz, Benzion Berkowitz, Jasmyne A. Storm, Jueqin Lu, Deepali Lehri, Sanoji Wijenayake, Jordan Marrocco, Amanda C. Kentner

This study shows that maternal stress during lactation alters milk-derived extracellular vesicle miRNAs, which affect offspring hippocampal gene expression, and that environmental enrichment can reverse these effects.

Peripubertal antagonism of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 results in sustained changes in behavioral plasticity and the transcriptomic profile of the amygdala

Julia Martz, Micah A. Shelton, Tristen J. Langen, Sakhi Srinivasan, Marianne L. Seney, Amanda C. Kentner

This study shows that blocking CRFR1 during peripuberty alters adult behavior and amygdala gene expression in rats, with sex-specific effects.

Sex differences in offspring risk and resilience following 11β-hydroxylase antagonism in a rodent model of maternal immune activation

Julia Martz, Micah A. Shelton, Laurel Geist, Marianne L. Seney, Amanda C. Kentner

This study investigates how metyrapone, an 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor, affects offspring behavior and corticosterone levels in a rodent model of maternal immune activation, revealing sex-specific outcomes.
