Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The manuscript examines preclinical murine and human models to study polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), delving into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying altered ovarian follicular dynamics. It explores the cellular interactions involved in normal and PCOS ovaries and outlines the current and novel strategies in the search for preclinical ...

Bird Movement Prediction Using Long Short-Term Memory Networks to Prevent Bird Strikes with Low Altitude Aircraft [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The number of collisions between aircraft and birds in the airspace has been increasing at an alarming rate over the past decade due to increasing bird population, air traffic and usage of quieter aircraft. Bird strikes with aircraft are anticipated to increase dramatically when emerging Advanced Air Mobility aircraft start operating in the low ...

Engineering Assembloids to Mimic Graft‐Host Skeletal Muscle Interaction
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study develops a graft‐host skeletal muscle assembloid model combining neuromuscular organoids with tissue‐engineered constructs. Pre‐seeding decellularized muscles with myogenic cells enhances cell migration and axon invasion from the organoid. The model exhibits regenerative capacity following acute damage, advancing the understanding of human ...

Spreading and vanishing in a West Nile virus model with expanding fronts [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper, we study a simplified version of a West Nile virus model discussed by Lewis et al. [28], which was considered as a first approximation for the spatial spread of WNv. The basic reproduction number $R_0$ for the non-spatial epidemic model is defined and a threshold parameter $R_0 ^D$ for the corresponding problem with null Dirichlet ...

Experimental Infection of North American Birds with the New York 1999 Strain of West Nile Virus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 To evaluate transmission dynamics, we exposed 25 bird species to West Nile virus (WNV) by infectious mosquito bite. We monitored viremia titers, clinical outcome, WNV shedding (cloacal and oral), seroconversion, virus persistence in organs, and ...

Measuring the costs of biosecurity on poultry farms: a case study in broiler production in Finland
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2012 Background Farm-level biosecurity provides the foundation for biosecurity along the entire production chain. Many risk management practices are constantly in place, regardless of whether there is a disease outbreak or not.
