The paper shows that JARID2 promotes pituitary stem cell differentiation to the POMC lineage by regulating chromatin landscapes and gene expression.

This paper generates the first transgenic line of the clownfish Amphiprion ocellaris using the Tol2 transposon system, achieving a 2.7% transgenesis rate and confirming germline transmission.

The paper examines changes in pituitary function in a mouse model of chronic temporal lobe epilepsy, finding increased GnRH sensitivity and gene expression in females but no significant changes in LH or FSH levels.

This study shows that injecting kainic acid into the left or right hippocampus of female mice leads to different reproductive endocrine and cellular outcomes, despite similar estrous cycle disruptions.
