Integration of bioinformatics analysis, molecular docking and animal experiments to study the therapeutic mechanisms of berberine against allergic rhinitis

Scientific Reports
AbstractAllergic rhinitis is a prevalent inflammatory condition that impacts individuals of all age groups. Despite reports indicating the potential of berberine in alleviating allergic rhinitis symptoms, the specific molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets of berberine remain unclear. This research aims to explore the pharmacological mechanism of

Save the pig tail [PDF]

, 2015
Tail biting is a common problem in modern pig production and has a negative impact on both animal welfare and economic result of the farm. Tail biting risk is increased by management and housing practices that fail to meet the basic needs of pigs.

Expanding Chemical Space of Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles for Tunable Antiviral‐Like Immunomodulatory Responses and Potent Adjuvant Activity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a nucleic acid nanoparticle (NANP) platform designed to be rrecognized by the human innate immune system in a regulated manner. By changing chemical composition while maintaining constant architectural parameters, we identify key determinants of immunorecognition enabling the rational design of NANPs with tunable immune activation profiles

Tail docking in pigs: acute physiological and behavioural responses

Animal, 2008
Tail docking of piglets is a routine procedure on farms to control tail-biting behaviour; however, docking can cause an acute stress response. The objectives of this research were to determine the stress responses to tail docking in piglets and to ...
