A balanced immune response is a cornerstone of healthy aging. Here, we uncover distinctive
features of the long-lived blind mole-rat (Spalax spp.) adaptive immune system, relative to …

To test the hypothesis of relationship between the age at maturity, metabolic rate, and life
span of rodents, variation in bioenergetic parameters in northern red-backed voles (Myodes …

To test the hypothesis that animals from habitats exposed to high anthropogenic pressure are
more successful in adapting to captivity, immature narrow-skulled voles trapped in different …

An experiment aimed at revealing the consequences of adding two species of entomopathogenic
Ascomycetes, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium robertsii, to grain fodder showed …

The animal models used in biomedical research cover virtually every human disease.
RatDEGdb, a knowledge base of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the rat as a model …

The stresses faced by animals in nature are reflected in the adrenal cortex functional activity.
It is possible to expect that the basal concentrations of glucocorticoid hormones will be …

In natural environment, stresses, when animals happen to be exposed to them, influence
the functional activity of adrenal cortex. It can be expected that in animals, living under …

Age-related deterioration of physiological functions is one of the most evident manifestations
of ageing. In wild populations of some species, including murid rodents, lifespans are …

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the percentage of naïve T cells and diversity of T
cell receptor (TCR) repertoire decrease with age, with some findings likewise suggesting …

In this investigation we assessed the physiological reaction of hamsters in response to chemical
signals from potential sexual partners, and also after a private meeting with them, which …
