Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

SDPR–STK38 axis controls the proliferation–differentiation balance in alveolar type II cells

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The present study identifies SDPR as a pivotal regulator orchestrating the balance between proliferation and differentiation in alveolar type II (AT2) cells. In SDPR+/+ cells, SDPR binds to and inhibits STK38 activity, thereby sustaining GSK‐3β signaling functionality to promote cyclin D1 degradation and maintain cell cycle homeostasis.

Association of DPP4 with esophageal stricture progression and the Hippo‐YAP pathway

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study establishes a comprehensive translational platform for esophageal stricture (ES) research by integrating a novel rat model with clinically relevant porcine validation. This study identifies DPP4 as a gene of interest associated with ES following endoscopic submucosal dissection, demonstrating that prophylactic DPP4 inhibition attenuates ...

Neurotransmitter‐Defined Degeneration Patterns in Sporadic and C9orf72‐Associated Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Predilection to GABAergic, Serotonergic, Opioid, Glutamatergic, Endocannabinoid, and Microglial Systems—Implications for Therapy Development

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has a markedly distinctive clinical and neuroradiological signature, with the preferential involvement of specific brain networks and the apparent sparing of others. The molecular underpinnings of the strikingly selective anatomical vulnerability have not been fully elucidated to date despite the potential ...

Biosynthesis of the Fully Saturated C16 Homosesquiterpene Descartane Through Deprotonation With Cyclopropanation

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A non‐canonical C16 sesquiterpene synthase from Morganella morganii produces the unusual scaffold descartane. Its cyclisation mechanism was rationalised by isotopic labelling experiments and DFT calculations. Site‐directed mutagenesis altered enzyme function, resulting in alternative products, including voltairene, which requires a different ...

Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

Dietary Glutamine Supplementation Alleviated Rumen Epithelium Oxidative Damage and Apoptosis Induced by Feed Restriction via Maintaining Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Female Yaks

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary glutamine (Gln) supplementation increased the ATP levels and promoted cell proliferation in the rumen epithelium of feed‐restricted yaks. Besides, Gln inhibited ROS accumulation and reduced oxidative damage and apoptosis in the rumen epithelium of feed‐restricted yaks.

Nerve Growth Factor is Sufficient to Cause Multiple Osteoarthritis‐Relevant Pathologic Features in Naïve Murine Knee Joints

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Nerve growth factor (NGF), a key mediator of pain, is increased in osteoarthritic (OA) joints. Antibodies against NGF show analgesic effects in painful knee OA, but clinical development was stopped because of side effects in the joints. Knowledge about the biologic effects of NGF on joint tissues is limited. Therefore, we explored the effects

Kidney Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Contribute to Myeloid Development and Pathology in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The hematopoietic system maintains homeostasis by balancing myeloid and lymphoid cell production in the bone marrow (BM). In response to increased hematopoietic demand, extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) may occur in nonlymphoid organs. We investigated the role of EMH and kidney‐resident hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in ...

Genetic and population analyses implicate thyroid‐related regulation of RNF144B in chondrocalcinosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives Chondrocalcinosis, characterized by calcium crystal deposition within articular cartilage, affects 5–15% of the general population and has recently been identified as an osteoarthritis risk factor. However, Its biological pathways remain unclear.
