Synthetic beta-adrenergic agonists (BA) have broad biomedical and agricultural application for increasing lean body mass, yet a poor understanding of the biology underpinning these agents is limiting further drug discovery potential. Growing female p... Read More about The beta-adrenergic agonist, Ractopamine increases skeletal muscle expression of Asparagine Synthetase as part of an integrated stress response gene program.

Identification of stable reference genes for quantitative PCR in koalas (2018)
Journal Article
Sarker, N., Fabijan, J., Emes, R. D., Hemmatzadeh, F., Meers, J., Moreton, J., …Tarlinton, R. E. (in press). Identification of stable reference genes for quantitative PCR in koalas. Scientific Reports, 8, Article 3364. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-21723-0

To better understand host and immune response to diseases, gene expression studies require identification of reference genes with stable expression for accurate normalisation. This study describes the identification and testing of reference genes wit... Read More about Identification of stable reference genes for quantitative PCR in koalas.
