In vitro affinity optimization of an anti-BDNF monoclonal antibody translates to improved potency in targeting chronic pain states in vivo

mAbs, 2020
The role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling in chronic pain has been well documented. Given the important central role of BDNF in long term plasticity and memory, we sought to engineer a high affinity, peripherally-restricted ...

Chickens and Dukes [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Following on the King Chicken Theorems originally proved by Maurer, we examine the idea of multiple flocks of chickens by bringing the chickens from tournaments to multipartite tournaments. As Kings have already been studied in multipartite settings, notably by Koh-Tan and Petrovic-Thomassen, we examine a new type of chicken more suited than Kings for ...

Evaluation of Escherichia coli isolates from healthy chickens to determine their potential risk to poultry and human health

PLoS ONE, 2017
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains are important pathogens that cause diverse diseases in humans and poultry. Some E. coli isolates from chicken feces contain ExPEC-associated virulence genes, so appear potentially pathogenic ...

Effects of dietary Tenebrio molitor meal inclusion in free-range chickens.

Journal of animal physiology and animal nutrition, 2016
Insects are currently being considered as a novel protein source for animal feeds, because they contain a large amount of protein. The larvae of Tenebrio molitor (TM) have been shown to be an acceptable protein source for broiler chickens in terms of ...
