Modeling mitochondrial dysfunctions in the brain: from mice to men
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2011 The biologist Lewis Thomas once wrote: “my mitochondria comprise a very large proportion of me. I cannot do the calculation, but I suppose there is almost as much of them in sheer dry bulk as there is the rest of me”.

Epidemic spread of influenza viruses: The impact of transient populations on disease dynamics
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2010 The recent H1N1 ('swine flu') pandemic and recent H5N1 ('avian flu') outbreaks have brought increased attention to the study of the role of animal populations as reservoirs for pathogens that could invade human populations.

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Wheat as a kind of diet material can be used for broiler production. However, due to non‐starch polysaccharides (NSP) in wheat, wheat may lead to lower growth performance and worth health. This experiment used solid‐state fermentation pro‐enzymes (SFP enzymes) to reverse the negative effect of wheat.

How, why, where and when people feed birds?—Spatio‐temporal changes in bird‐feeding in Finland
People and NatureProviding food to animals, especially birds, during winter is a common activity in many countries. While bird‐feeding can increase connections between people and nature, there are increasing calls from researchers and the general public to limit this ...

Hydrogel Composites and Their Potential Application in Animal Production and Health
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.With emerging concerns about environmental contamination and safe animal production practices for increased animal welfare, research has increased in search of alternatives to promote sustainable production. The application of naturally derived hydrogels presents a great opportunity for exploration and application for animal production purposes ...
