Complex multicellular organisms, such as mammals, express two complete sets of
chromosomes per nucleus, combining the genetic material of both parents. However …

The etiology of central precocious puberty (CPP) is multiple and heterogeneous, including
congenital and acquired causes that can be associated with structural or functional brain …

Delta-like 1 homolog or pre-adipocyte factor 1 (Dlk1) is one of the most significant genes
and widely expresses all over mammal's development. Some of the functions identified for …

Abstract DLK1 (protein delta homolog 1) plays an important role in production of adipocytes,
muscle development, wound healing, pancreas, liver and lung cells development and also …

In the 1980s, mouse nuclear transplantation experiments revealed that both male and
female parental genomes are required for successful development to term (;). This non …

Pregnancy is a state of high metabolic demand. Fasting diverts metabolism to fatty acid
oxidation, and the fasted response occurs much more rapidly in pregnant women than in …

Imprinted genes display parent-of-origin-specific expression with this epigenetic system of
regulation found exclusively in therian mammals. Historically, defined imprinted gene …

Although many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are imprinted, their roles often remain
unknown. The Dlk1-Dio3 domain expresses the lncRNA Meg3 and multiple microRNAs and …

Delta like non-canonical Notch ligand 1 (Dlk1) is an imprinted gene, mainly known for its
involvement in adipogenesis, although it has been associated with many other stem …

Compelling evidence indicates that stress in utero, as manifested by low birth weight (LBW),
increases the risk of metabolic syndrome in adulthood. Singletons conceived by assisted …
