The paper identifies genomic and transcriptomic changes associated with chromosomal instability and seasonal brain size plasticity in the Eurasian common shrew.

The paper analyzes gene expression in the pancreas of Aselli of the common shrew to assess its role in plasma cell differentiation and compares it to spleen and bursa of Fabricius.

The paper compares gene expression in captive and wild shrew brains, finding hundreds of differentially expressed genes linked to neurodegenerative pathways and ribosomal proteins.

This study identifies seasonal gene expression changes in shrew hypothalamus linked to brain size plasticity and compares them to human neurological disorders.

The paper examines metabolic and molecular changes in Sorex araneus during seasonal shrinkage, identifying shifts in oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid metabolism, and FOXO signaling.
