Drone‐Based Photogrammetry Provides Estimates of the Energetic Cost of Migration for Humpback Whales Between Antarctica and Colombia

Marine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monitoring the body condition of animals offers insights into their energetic needs, prey consumption, and vulnerability to environmental pressures. Southern hemisphere humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) depend on Antarctic krill for their annual energy requirements.

The Genetic Blueprint of Obesity: From Pathogenesis to Novel Therapies

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by disturbances in energy homeostasis, leading to excessive fat accumulation. The pathogenesis of the disease is shaped by a complex interplay of genetic, epigenetic, biological, psychological, and environmental factors.

Establishment of Subtrochanteric Fracture in Pre‐Clinical Animal Model

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
A clinically relevant and reproducible open fracture model at the subtrochanteric region of rabbits has been established. Post 6 weeks of fracture, MicroCT showed higher callus volume, and histology exhibited remodeled stage with a greater number of osteocyte cells.

Planthopper protein Nlsp5 is essential for salivary sheath formation and acts as a HAMP inducing plant resistance to insects

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary During herbivore feeding, plants can recognize herbivore‐associated molecular patterns (HAMPs) present in saliva and trigger pattern‐triggered immunity (PTI). Piercing‐sucking insects secrete gel saliva, forming salivary sheaths that aid in feeding. However, the role of proteins within these salivary sheaths in modulating plant defences remains

Simulation model to estimate the burden of disease due to hepatitis E virus in Dutch pig meat and cost‐effectiveness of control measures

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) can lead to liver disease in humans. In the Netherlands, the consumption of pig meat is thought to be the main contributor to the total burden of disease caused by HEV. In this study, the number of cases and lost disability‐adjusted‐life‐years (DALYs) due to HEV in pig meat were estimated by simulating HEV through the ...

Modeling antimicrobial fate in the circular food system

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract The livestock sector plays a critical role in the circular food production system, but excessive use of antimicrobials (AMs) in livestock farming can lead to AM residue contamination in human food. CirFSafe, a model framework was developed to predict the fate of five different AMs in a primary circular food production system, comprising mixed ...
