We examined clinal gradients in reproductive modes and associated offspring body condition across a hybrid zone between two bimodal viviparous subspecies of Salamandra salamandra. We found a clear cline in reproductive modes, with pure modes at the extremes and mixed modes in central populations.

Expression analysis for candidate genes associated with eggshell mechanical property
: Damaged eggshells result in losses of eggs. The genetic mechanism of variable eggshell strength is still unclear. The current study was conducted to verify whether the eggshell calcification related genes, CALB1, SPP1, DMP4, BMP2 and SLIT2, were ...

Protein Energy Malnutrition: Opportunities for Cold Plasma Technologies
Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major global health concern driven by biological, environmental, and nutritional factors, including gut microbiota imbalance and low protein intake. Cold atmospheric plasma technologies offer promising, sustainable solutions by improving food security, enhancing protein quality and absorption, and modulating gut ...

ABSTRACT Organic egg production requires daily provision of coarse feed, fresh or dried forage, and silage to poultry. This study employed flavoromics, metabolomics, and quantitative lipidomics to investigate the effects of replacing 0% (CK), 10% (T10), and 20% (T20) of the basal diet of laying geese with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) on the sensory ...

Layer performances, eggshell characteristics and bone strength in three different housing systems
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of three different housing systems for laying hens (cages, barn and organic) on layer performances, eggshell characteristics and bone strength. In each system, the same strain of laying hens (Hyline Brown?) was housed in agreement with current European regulation and the hens were fed on ...

Application Research of Microstructured Flexible Sensors in Rehabilitative Wearable Sensing
ABSTRACT Flexible sensors enable the continuous, real‐time monitoring of the physiological and movement signals of patients, providing data support for precise rehabilitation strategies and playing a crucial role in rehabilitation medicine. However, traditional rigid sensors are often incompatible with dynamic body contours due to their high material ...

Study outlines fabrication of tailorable decellularised human placenta and fish scale gelatin‐based hydrogels. Decellularisation with ultrasonication reduced time and ECM damage. Hydrogels were assessed for structural integrity and cytocompatibility, showing myogenic differentiation with aligned myotubes (C2C12) and myoblasts (HAMSCs).

Backyard, or hobby, poultry owners in central North Carolina primarily viewed their flocks as pets, and reported self‐sufficiency in managing flock health with support from online social networks. Zoonotic disease prevention and biosecurity education that appeals to the pet‐owner mindset should be further explored for use in backyard poultry settings ...
