RUNX1‐Mediated Hypoxic Signaling Impairs Myogenesis and Promotes Fibrosis in Myopathies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Myofiber overgrowth was associated with reduced blood flow and a potential hypoxic state in broiler breast muscle, accompanied by increased RUNX1 expression. Elevated RUNX1 impaired myogenic regeneration, promoted fibrosis, and disrupted the signaling niche required for efficient muscle repair, contributing to pathological degeneration in Wooden Breast

Single‐Nucleus RNA Sequencing Identifies CREM as a Brake on Myofiber Hypertrophy in Chickens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐nucleus RNA sequencing on 91 144 nuclei from postnatal chicken pectoralis major between fast‐growing broilers (FG) and slow‐growing layers (SG) identifies the transcriptional factor CREM as a novel brake of myofiber hypertrophy. Mechanistically, functional validation experiments confirm that CREM activates the promoter of JUN and CREM deletion ...

Time Allocation between Farm and Off‐Farm Activities in Israeli Farm Households [PDF]

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2004
This paper examines the time allocation of Israeli farm families between farm work and off-farm work. We found that extended families behave differently than nuclear families: people in families with adult children or siblings of the farm couple tend to work more off the farm and less on the farm, while people in families with parents tend to work less

Farmers' Preferences for Fossil‐Free Mineral Nitrogen Fertilizers: Role of Prices, Climate, Production Origin, and Identity

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disruptions in global fertilizer markets and climate targets have increased interest in fossil‐free mineral nitrogen fertilizers. This study examines farmers' preferences for conventional (fossil‐based) and fossil‐free fertilizers using a labeled discrete choice experiment with 211 Swedish farmers.
