Bio‐Orthogonally Crosslinked Supramolecular Polymer Bottlebrush Hydrogels for Long‐Term 3D Cell Culture

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrous benzenetrispeptide (BTP) hydrogels, fabricated via strain‐promoted azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) crosslinking, form robust, bioinert networks. These hydrogels can support 3D cell culture, where cell viability and colony growth depend on the fiber content.

Bulk tank milk ELISA as screening test for Mycoplasma bovis: herd classification based on serology and PCR testing of different age groups

Irish Veterinary Journal
Herd-level infection status for Mycoplasma bovis is commonly assessed by detecting antibodies in bulk tank milk (BTM) samples. However, the association between BTM serology and active circulation of the pathogen at farm level remains largely unclear, in ...

Associations between colostrum management, passive immunity, calf-related hygiene practices, and rates of mortality in preweaning dairy calves.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2019
Calves are particularly vulnerable to health issues before weaning and experience high rates of mortality. Poor colostrum quality or substandard colostrum management, combined with poor hygiene, can increase disease susceptibility, contributing to ...

Dual‐Layer Living Hydrogel Enables On‐Demand Delivery of Phages and Probiotics for Synergistic Wound Infection Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer living hydrogel, ProΦGel, integrates bacteriophages and probiotics for synergistic wound infection therapy. The outer gelatin‐based matrix releases phages on demand in response to P. aeruginosa infections, while inner alginate beads sustain probiotic delivery.

Energy metabolism of lactating dairy cows fed 2 formaldehyde- and formic acid–treated forages with 2 nonstructural carbohydrate sources

Journal of Dairy Science
: The partial efficiency of ME used for net energy by growing ruminants is greater when fed alfalfa (ALF) than orchard grass (OG), but is unknown for lactating cows and may be influenced by varying the nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) grain source.

Nanodiamond‐Based Quantum Sensing Reveals Changes in Endo‐Lysosomal Activity of Stimulated Cardiac Fibroblasts in a Cellular Fibrosis Model

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Quantum sensing reveals intricate patterns linking endo‐lysosomal maturation to cardiac fibrosis progression, highlighting complexity in cellular remodeling. This study investigates fibroblast‐to‐myofibroblast transition under cell aging, stiffness, and TGF‐β stimulation, comparing nanodiamond uptake, endo‐lysosomal dynamics, and free radical ...

Choice white grease used for manufacturing a protein-encapsulated fat blend source for neonatal calves

Journal of Dairy Science
: Protein-encapsulated fat (PEF) blends are routinely used for manufacturing calf milk replacers (MR). The use of PEF blends improves fat mixability to ensure MR when mixed and fed as a homogeneous solution for neonatal calves.

Serum haptoglobin concentration and liver enzyme activity as indicators of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and survival of sick calves

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2022
Background Increased concentration of haptoglobin (Hp) in serum is associated with survival of critically ill humans and horses. High serum activity of liver‐derived enzyme is associated with sepsis in children and foals.
