Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

CardiLect: A combined cross‐species lectin histochemistry protocol for the automated analysis of cardiac remodelling

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1398-1415, April 2025.
Abstract Background Cardiac remodelling, a crucial aspect of heart failure, is commonly investigated in preclinical models by quantifying cardiomyocyte cross‐sectional area (CSA) and microvascular density (MVD) via histological methods, such as immunohistochemistry.

Effects of social experience on the behaviour of male guinea pigs and rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
Most animals have some social experience, and in non-solitary species social experiences may be frequent and various. Evolutionary theory predicts this experience should lead to changes in behaviour which maximise inclusive fitness.

Mixing Behavior of Natural Gas and Hydrogen in a High‐Efficiency Vane (HEV) Static Mixer

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Static mixers play a crucial role in the safe transport of hydrogen‐blended natural gas. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was employed to investigate the effects of structural parameters of the HEV static mixer on the mixing behavior and homogeneity of natural gas and hydrogen. The modeling approach was well validated against experimental data.

Comparative epidemiological study of the spread of African swine fever in Ukraine and some Eastern European countries [PDF]

open access: yesНауковий вісник ветеринарної медицини
African swine fever is one of the most serious threats to the world pig industry due to high infectivity and mortality rates among pigs. To date, no effective means of active prevention of the infection have been developed.

Genotypic structure of micropopulations of domestic pigs at the locus of the ryanodine RYR1 receptor

open access: yes, 2022
An important problem in transplant medicine is the lack of organs and tissues for human transplantation. One of the promising areas of its solution today is the use of organs and tissues of animals — xenotransplantation.

A spatiotemporal single‐cell atlas of porcine development reveals regulatory dynamics and cellular targets of domestication

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
This study presents a cross‐tissue, single‐cell/single‐nucleus transcriptomic atlas spanning from prenatal to postnatal developmental stages in pig, characterizing 83 distinct cell types from 252,033 cells. Through the construction of cross‐tissue transcriptional regulatory networks and pseudotime trajectories, we revealed that organogenesis is driven ...

Talking tails : quantifying the development of tail biting in pigs

open access: yes, 2010
Tail biting is an adverse behaviour characterised by manipulation of a pig’s tail by another pig resulting in tail damage and a possible tail biting outbreak. Tail biting is a common problem in the pig husbandry causing economic losses and reduced animal
