Gonadal development in scorpion mud‐turtles, Kinosternon scorpioides, in a controlled environment

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Stage 20 was identified as the critical point for gonadal differentiation in Kinosternon scorpioides, providing key insights into sex determination. These findings enhance conservation strategies by supporting reproductive management and population viability in both in situ and ex situ programs. Abstract Research on gonadal development including sexual

Effect of cryopreservation and semen extender on extracellular vesicles isolated from bull semen

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionSemen cryopreservation is the most popular practice for semen production for artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization in cattle. The Seminal plasma contains extracellular vesicles (spEVs) which modulate sperm viability and function ...

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Early stages of tooth development in the harbor porpoise Phocoena phocoena

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Here we describe the stages of tooth development in toothed whales on the basis of the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). The aim of the study was to find out whether these stages are identical to those of other mammals analyzed so far although toothed whales are homodont and monophyodont.

Increased Elbow Valgus Torque During Pitching Is Not a Risk Factor for Medial Elbow Injuries in Young Baseball Pitchers: A Prospective Cohort Study

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To examine the relationship between elbow valgus torque during pitching and the occurrence of medial elbow injuries in young baseball pitchers prospectively. Methods Between 2019 and 2023, 361 male pitchers aged 9 to 12 years were enrolled. Pitchers with a history of elbow injury or who had not served as pitchers in baseball games for ≥1 year ...

Age-dependent variations in proteomic characteristics of spermatozoa in Simmental bull

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Increasing the age of bulls results in a decrease in reproductive function, including a reduction in sperm quality, which plays a vital role in determining the fertility of bulls.

Dual Functions of Dietary Rubber Seed Oil Supplementation: Enriching N‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Enhancing Antioxidant Capacity in Pekin Ducks

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary RSO supplementation improved growth performance, simultaneously enriched n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n‐3 PUFA), and enhanced antioxidant capacity in Pekin ducks, which suggested that RSO has the potential to be a novel n‐3 PUFA source and an antioxidant for Pekin ducks to generate animal functional foods.

Immersive reality capabilities of relieving hiraeth

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding how immersive experiences foster a sense of presence sufficient to rival real‐world experiences remains an open research area. Prior work has largely examined episodic memory recall in simulated environments, but less is known about how immersive technologies can reconnect individuals with personal memories.

β-Defensin gene copy number variation in cattle

Royal Society Open Science
β-Defensins are peptides with antimicrobial roles, characterized by a conserved tertiary structure. Beyond antimicrobial functions, they exhibit diverse roles in both the immune response and fertility, including involvement in sperm maturation and ...
