The paper compares aging markers between surface and cavefish populations of Astyanax mexicanus, finding that cavefish show less pronounced aging signatures and suggest metabolic shifts, particularly mitochondrial function, contribute to their extended longevity.

This paper establishes bat muscle cell lines and analyzes their transcriptomic and metabolic profiles to study muscle regeneration and flight muscle biology in bats.

This study investigates reproductive adaptations in Astyanax mexicanus under nutrient limitation, finding cavefish maintain breeding ability under starvation due to increased maternal nutrient deposition and specific gene expression changes.

This paper develops a protocol for isolating and culturing primary fibroblasts from frozen bat wing biopsies and establishes stable cell lines for genetic and physiological studies.

This study examines sugar assimilation in Neotropical bats, revealing metabolic adaptations to different diets through glucose tolerance tests, genome analysis, and gene expression studies.
