The Role of Semi‐Wild Habitats in the Physical Conditions of Juvenile Alligators: Implications for Conservation [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The number and survival rate of juveniles play a key role in the recovery of Chinese alligators (Alligator sinensis). The differences between artificial and semi‐wild environments can directly affect the growth and development of juvenile alligators ...

Early Pharmacodynamic Changes Measured Using RNA Sequencing of Peripheral Blood from Patients in a Phase I Study with Mitazalimab, a Potent CD40 Agonistic Monoclonal Antibody

Cells, 2023
CD40-targeting therapies can enhance the dendritic cell priming of tumor-specific T cells and repolarize intratumoral macrophages to alleviate the tumoral immunosuppressive environment and remodel the extracellular matrix.

Microbiological Analysis of Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) Meat

Journal of Food Protection, 1981
The two tail muscles, ilio caudalis and ischio caudalis, along with hide surface areas from four alligators, Alligator mississippiensis , were evaluated for microbial numbers and types. Microbial analyses of hide surfaces yielded a mean aerobic plate count (APC, 35 C) of approximately 4.45 logs/cm2 at 35 C, and total coliform counts were low ...
