Production of monoclonal antibodies against recombinant nucleoprotein of avian influenza virus, serotype H9N2 [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2018
Background: Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) including the subtype H9N2 cause considerable financial losses to poultry industries. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of avian influenza (AI) infection is important in control and eradication programs.

Truncation of the NS1 protein converts a low pathogenic avian influenza virus into a strong interferon inducer in duck cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The NS1 protein of influenza A viruses is known as a nonessential virulence factor inhibiting type I interferon (IFN) production in mammals and in chicken cells. Whether NS1 inhibits the induction of type I IFNs in duck cells is currently unknown.

Avian acrobatics [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
As flying vertebrates go, hummingbirds are veritable humdingers. Featherweight members of the vertebrate subphylum, some species of hummingbirds can thrive at heights of 5,000 meters above sea level, hovering in thin air at high-altitude habitats, which pose formidable challenges to certain forms of flight. With rising altitude, the drop in atmospheric

Maternal glucocorticoid levels during incubation predict breeding success, but not reproductive investment, in a free-ranging bird

open access: yesBiology Open, 2020
The hormone corticosterone (CORT) has been hypothesized to be linked with fitness, but the directionality of the relationship is unclear. The ‘CORT-fitness hypothesis’ proposes that high levels of CORT arise from challenging environmental conditions ...

Functional and structural comparison of visual lateralization in birds – similar but still different

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
Vertebrate brains display physiological and anatomical left-right differences, which are related to hemispheric dominances for specific functions. Functional lateralizations likely rely on structural left-right differences in intra- and interhemispheric ...

Targeted Metabolomics to Assess Exposure to Environmental Chemicals of Concern in Japanese Quail at Two Life Stages

open access: yesMetabolites, 2021
This proof-of-concept study characterizes the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) hepatic metabolome following exposure to benzo[a]pyrene, chlorpyrifos, ethinylestradiol, fluoxetine hydrochloride, hexabromocyclododecane, lead(II)nitrate, seleno-L ...

Avian astroviruses [PDF]

open access: yesAvian Pathology, 2002
As poultry becomes more important in the world economy, it is increasingly important to fully understand the mechanisms of disease and poor production that affect the industry. To more accurately and reasonably treat these diseases, a more sophisticated understanding of interrelatedness is required.

3D Printing Innovations in Polymeric Porous and Patterned Architecture

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Polymeric foams occupy a unique structural space between dense solids and open networks, where engineered void fraction governs mechanical compliance, thermal resistance, and mass transport. Additive manufacturing now enables precise spatial control over cellular architecture, unlocking designer foam structures across applications spanning crash ...
