RoundMi: A quantitative method to analyze mitochondrial morphology in mitotic cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
RoundMi is a workflow for rapid analysis of mitochondrial morphology in mitotic cells. By combining adaptive preprocessing with automated segmentation and quantification, it enables accurate measurements from single focal plane images, reducing acquisition time and computational demands while remaining compatible with high‐throughput fixed and live ...

Implementation of SCC breeding values in Italian Jersey breed

, 2021
In the framework of the LATTeco project, ANAFIJ (Associazione Nazionale Allevatori della Razza Frisona e Jersey Italiana) has been working on improving animal welfare, biodiversity and sustainability. Focusing on animal welfare, ANAFIJ has implemented a genetic evaluation for somatic cell count (SCC) in the Italian Jersey population.

The C‐terminal region of KIF26B is indispensable for nephron progenitor condensation and kidney formation in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KIF26B plays an important role in kidney development. We engineered mice lacking the C‐terminal region of KIF26B and found severe kidney defects, including bilateral renal agenesis, similar to full Kif26b knockout mice. The mutation disrupted nephron progenitor condensation and reduced Gdnf‐Wnt11 signaling, showing that the KIF26B C‐terminal region is ...

Trends in Breeding Value and Production

Journal of Dairy Science, 1977
Over 3.6 million first lactation records by cows on official test were studied. About 15.5 yr of data for six dairy breeds were represented. Sire breeding value was twice the sire's Modified Contemporary Deviation from the USDA Sire Summary. Sire breeding values for milk and fat of cows calving in the later years increased for all breeds but Ayrshires,

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

Directed evolution of enzymes at the crossroads of tradition and innovation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An iterative cycle of data‐driven enzyme optimization comprising four stages: genetic diversification of a template enzyme, expression of protein variants, high‐throughput evaluation, and machine‐learning‐guided redesign of the next variant library.

Adaptive potential of spring covered oats (Avena sativa L.) according to green biomass under the conditions of Kirov Province

Труды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции
Background. Development of high-yielding cultivars with high quality of their products is one of the main tasks of plant breeders. Today, the most valuable cultivars are those with high adaptability to stressful conditions of cultivation.

Turning the heat up on independent culling in crop breeding

, 2022
Most grain crops are sensitive to heat stress during anthesis which causes substantial reductions in grain yield, and heat stress tolerance (HST) is therefore an important trait for selection in crop breeding programmes during the 21st century.

Guiding AlphaFold to predict how Munc13‐1 opens Syntaxin‐1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The syntaxin‐1 Habc‐domain (orange), linker (pink) and SNARE motif (yellow) form a closed conformation that binds to Munc18‐1 (violet) and is opened by the Munc13‐1 MUN domain (cyan) to form the SNARE complex that triggers neurotransmitter release.
