Nest Survival Models and Genomics Illuminate Hybridisation Attempts, Guiding Culturally Informed Management to Recover a Critically Endangered Seabird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.

Inheritance and Establishment of Gut Microbiota in Chickens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
In mammals, the microbiota can be transmitted from the placenta, uterus, and vagina of the mother to the infant. Unlike mammals, development of the avian embryo is a process isolated from the mother and thus in the avian embryo the gut microbial ...

Evaluation of chicken embryo extract and egg yolk extract as alternatives to basic cell culture medium supplement

BMC Research Notes
Background Fetal calf serum (FCS), an existing cell culture supplement, is effective but has several drawbacks, including being expensive, requiring a lengthy process of production, and requiring a hard currency. With this in mind, we planned to evaluate

Applications of In Ovo Technique for the Optimal Development of the Gastrointestinal Tract and the Potential Influence on the Establishment of its Microbiome in Poultry

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2016
As the current poultry production system stands, there is a period of time that newly hatched chicks are prevented from access to feed for approximately 48 to 72 hours.

Junctional Adhesion Molecule‐A (JAM‐A) Associates With High‐Risk Disease in Multiple Myeloma Patients and a Structure‐Based Rationally‐Designed Peptide Inhibitor Attenuates Tumorigenic Features In Vitro and In Vivo

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignancy of terminally‐differentiated plasma cells that represents a major clinical challenge despite unprecedented therapeutic advances, particularly for patients with cytogenetically‐defined high‐risk MM (HR‐MM).

When proteases reshape barriers: Basement membrane remodelling in development, wound healing and tumour progression

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Basement membrane (BM) homeostasis relies on a balance between integrity, controlled remodelling and pathological degradation. Increased protease expression beneath the BM, along with reduced levels of endogenous protease inhibitors, drives the transition from a continuous, protective barrier to a discontinuous interface.

Isoleucine at position 137 of haemagglutinin acts as a mammalian adaptation marker of H9N2 avian influenza virus

Emerging Microbes and Infections
The H9N2 subtype of avian influenza virus (AIV) is widely distributed among poultry and wild birds and is also a threat to humans. During AIV active surveillance in Liaoning province from 2015 to 2016, we identified 10 H9N2 strains exhibiting different ...

FOXA1 is a highly sensitive diagnostic marker for prostate cancer including small cell carcinoma of the prostate

Histopathology, EarlyView.
FOXA1 is a highly sensitive diagnostic marker for prostate cancer. Besides prostatic adenocarcinoma, it is also expressed in 57%–80% of metastatic or primary prostatic small cell carcinomas, which lose traditional prostatic markers including NKX3.1. Although it is less specific than NKX3.1, it can serve as a valuable adjunct for confirming prostatic ...
