Gene Polymorphisms are Associated with Eggshell Ultrastructure Organization in Hens

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science
Background: Eggshell ultrastructure organization, including effective layer thickness, mammillary layer thickness, and average size of mammillary cones, is important for breeding and significantly influences eggshell mechanical properties.

The Effects of Intrauterine Injection with Prostaglandin F2α, Arachidonic Acid and Phosphate Solution on the Eggshell Formation of Japanese Quail Hen

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2002
Inhibitory effects of prostaglandin F2α, arachidonic acid and phosphate solution on the eggshell formation were investigated in Japanese quail. All injections were performed intrauterinely 8h before the predicted oviposition. Prematurely oviposited

An Engineered Living Material With Pro‐Angiogenic Activity Inducible by Near‐Infrared Light

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
NIR‐responsive engineered living materials (ELMs) for controlled angiogenesis: Near‐infrared (800 nm) light activates engineered probiotic bacteria within alginate‐based living materials to secrete a blood vessel‐regenerating protein. The released protein promotes pro‐angiogenic effects in endothelial networks and chick chorioallantoic membranes.

Co‐Electrospinning Extracellular Matrix with Polycaprolactone Enables a Modular Approach to Balance Bioactivity and Mechanics of a Multifunctional Bone Wrap

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The incorporation of nondigested ECM and synthetic polymers into a co‐electrospinning system enables the decoupling of bioactivity and mechanical properties within a single wrap. This technique is used to develop a multifunctional bone wrap that achieves augmented membrane durability, sustained infection control, and enhanced vascularity for use in ...

Eggshell Qualities as Indicative of Eggshell Strength for Layer Selection

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science
The study aimed at investigating which of four traits is the most representative of eggshell strength (destructive eggshell thickness measurement, eggshell weight, egg specific gravity, ultrasonic measurement of eggshell thickness) and could be used for ...

Dietary chloride levels affect performance and eggshell quality of laying hens by substitution of sodium sulfate for sodium chloride

Poultry Science, 2020
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary chloride (Cl) levels on performance, eggshell mechanical quality, and ultrastructure in layers based on the substitution of sodium chloride (NaCl) by sodium sulfate (Na2SO4). Three hundred

Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) eggs and free-range housing: a convenient alternative to laying hens' eggs in terms of food safety?

Poultry Science, 2021
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the genotype (guinea fowl, native breed Leghorn, and commercial hybrid hens), storage time (0, 14, 28 d) and storage temperature (fresh, 5, 20°C) on eggshell quality traits and microbiological ...

Aqueous Two‐Phase Bioinks for Discrete Packing and Compartmentalization of 3D Bioprinted Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Aqueous two‐phase systems (ATPS) enable the formation of biomimetic interfaces crucial for tissue engineering. However, clinical translation remains limited by the challenge of precisely controlling cellular compartmentalization. Here, we developed ATPS biomaterial inks for 3D bioprinting allowing tuneable droplet formation via NaCl modulation.
