Chemical induced pluripotent stem cells (CiPSCs) have been successfully achieved and may provide an alternative and attractive source for stem cell-based therapy. Sufficient telomere lengths are criti
Telomere length (TL) has become a biomarker of increasing interest within ecology and evolutionary biology, and has been found to predict subsequent survival in some recent avian studies but not other
Understanding physiological responses of wildlife and domesticated animals to environmental challenges can be difficult or impossible to investigate at the whole animal level. Tissue culture approache
Glucocorticoids regulate many physiological functions and play an important role in coping with challenging stimuli. The non-invasive assessment of glucocorticoids is increasingly used as a tool to ev
