The Male Primary Sex Ratio Bias in Goose Eggs Early in the Laying Season: A Pilot Study

Poultry
In bird eggs, the theoretical expectation of a primary sex ratio (at conception) of 50:50 males/females often fails to materialize. Using PCR technology for sex verification in this pilot study, we evaluated the primary sex ratio of 128 fertilized ...

Superovulatory response, production and quality of embryos of cows fed on linseed or canola seed supplemented diets - doi: 10.4025/actascianimsci.v34i3.13372

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2012
Superovulatory response, production and embryo quality and the effects of seasonal changes on embryo production of Nellore cows fed on either linseed (n-3) or canola seeds (n-6) were evaluated. Sixteen Nellore cows (550 ± 48.0 kg) were fed on three diets:

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.

Research progress on novel bionic cryoprotectants in gamete and embryo cryopreservation

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Cryopreservation technology has become a primary method for preserving animal genetic resources in the biomedical field. It achieves long-term storage by placing gametes or embryos in an ultra-low-temperature environment, enabling them to retain ...

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

Optimizing photoactivation of PA‐mCherry for optical pooled CRISPR screens

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Photoactivatable PA‐mCherry finds widespread use to optically tag individual cells. However, confocal 405 nm UV laser‐scanning (normal scan) is much less efficient than widefield UV illumination, limiting the use of PA‐mCherry on confocal instruments. We remedy this limitation by reporting that rapid and repeated confocal scanning with a low‐intensity,

Survival of embryos of pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis and Odontesthes humensis at different concentration of salinity [PDF]

Biotemas, 2009
Embryos of Odontesthes bonariensis and Odontesthes humensis were submitted to saline concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 20 and 30g.L-1. The control of mortality was made daily between the 8th and 12th days of incubation, at the which time the embryos had ...

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

RoundMi: A quantitative method to analyze mitochondrial morphology in mitotic cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
RoundMi is a workflow for rapid analysis of mitochondrial morphology in mitotic cells. By combining adaptive preprocessing with automated segmentation and quantification, it enables accurate measurements from single focal plane images, reducing acquisition time and computational demands while remaining compatible with high‐throughput fixed and live ...
