Improved prediction using genomic relationships for farmed red deer in New Zealand
ABSTRACT The deer industry in New Zealand has made notable genetic progress in recent decades. Initially based around live weight and velvet antler, deer are now selected on several traits including carcass composition, reproduction, and disease resistance within DEERSelect, the industry performance recording system in New Zealand.

Ultradian, circadian and seasonal rhythms in cortisol secretion and adrenal responsiveness to ACTH and yarding in unrestrained red deer (Cervus elaphus) stags [PDF]
Seasonal changes in the activity and responsiveness of the adrenal gland in red deer (Cervus elaphus) stags were quantified by measuring 24 h endogenous cortisol secretory profiles and plasma cortisol responses to either administration of exogenous ACTH ...

Unraveling Dowling–Degos Disease: A Rare Skin Disorder
ABSTRACT Dowling–Degos disease (DDD) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by brown to black macules distributed symmetrically in the axilla, groin, elbow, face, neck, and trunk. It is more common in women, usually after puberty. The main pathogenesis behind DDD is a mutation in the keratin 5 gene.

Application of polydopamine-modified triphasic PLA/PCL-PLGA/Mg(OH)2-velvet antler polypeptides scaffold loaded with fibrocartilage stem cells for the repair of osteochondral defects. [PDF]
Articular cartilage defects often involve damage to both the cartilage and subchondral bone, requiring a scaffold that can meet the unique needs of each tissue type and establish an effective barrier between the bone and cartilage. In this study, we used

Aging and Herbal Interventions: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Background Skin aging is a multifactorial process influenced by an individual's genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors. This process leads to epidermal thinning, a reduction in collagen and elastin levels, and a decrease in skin suppleness.

Monitoring of ungulate impact in Hungarian forested Natura 2000 sites. [PDF]
Ungulates have both, advantageous and disadvantageous effects in forest ecosystems. But predominantly, there is a one-sided negative opinion about their role and impact mainly based on economic damage caused by these game species. However, we should also
