Presence and Distribution of Urocortin and its Receptors in the Epididymis of Alpaca (Vicugna pacos). [PDF]

, 2014
Urocortin 1 (UCN) is a 40-amino acid peptide belonging to the corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) family. The biological effects of this peptide are modulated by binding two G-coupled receptors named CRH receptor 1 (CRHR1) and CRH receptor 2 (CRHR2 ...

Engineered CAR‐NKT Extracellular Vesicles Suppress Tumor Progression and Enhance Antitumor Immunity

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
TM4SF1‐nanobody engineered CAR‐natural killer T–derived extracellular vesicles (CARTM4SF1‐EVs) provide a cell‐free alternative to CAR‐NKT therapy, achieving potent, targeted antitumor activity with reduced toxicity. CARTM4SF1‐EVs induce immunogenic cell death, remodel the tumor microenvironment, and enhance CD8⁺ T‐cell antitumor immunity.

Alpaca: intermittent execution without checkpoints [PDF]

Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages, 2017
The emergence of energy harvesting devices creates the potential for batteryless sensing and computing devices. Such devices operate only intermittently, as energy is available, presenting a number of challenges for software developers. Programmers face a complex design space requiring reasoning about energy, memory consistency, and forward progress ...

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 2, Page 107-127, March 2026.
Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...

Innervation and immunohistochemical characteristics of epididymis in alpaca camelid (Vicugna pacos) [PDF]

, 2013
Alpacas (Vicugna pacos) are domesticated camelids indigenous to south America and recently also bred in Europe and Italy for their high quality wool. There is little data available regarding the innervation of the male reproductive tract of this species.

Whole‐Genome Characterization of Rare Artiodactyl‐Like G10P [14] and G8P [14] Rotavirus a Strains Detected in Pediatric Gastroenteritis Cases in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Rotavirus alphagastroenteritidis (RVA) is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in young children worldwide, as well as in a wide range of animal species. In 2020 and 2022, we identified three unusual RVA strains in pediatric gastroenteritis patients in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan, using next‐generation sequencing: one G10P[14] strain ...

Australian Alpaca Demographics and Management: A National Survey

Animals
The Australian alpaca industry has continued to grow since the introduction of alpacas in the 1980s. Little is known about the geographical distribution of alpacas or on-farm management practices.

Bacterial Communities in the Alpaca Gastrointestinal Tract Vary With Diet and Body Site

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Gut -associated microbes (‘gut microbiota’) impact the nutrition of their hosts, especially in ruminants and pseudoruminants that consume high-cellulose diets. Examples include the pseudoruminant alpaca.

A comparative study on the felting propensity of animal fibers

, 2007
The felting propensity of different animal fibers, particularly alpaca and wool, has been examined. The Aachen felting test method was employed. 1 g of each type of fiber was soaked in 50 ml of wetting solution and agitated in a dyeing machine to make ...

Along the Silenced Footsteps of Latin American Pastoralists: From Mexico to Argentina, a Journey Through Pastoral Systems in Latin America

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Pastoralism worldwide faces a complex landscape of increased pressures and exclusion. Beyond ecological and economic challenges, pastoralists suffer eroding cultural identity, limited generational renewal, and political marginalization. Yet pastoral livelihoods are increasingly recognized as stewards of sustainable futures and amongst the best
