Relationship between ranging behavior and spatial memory of free-range chickens

Behavioural Processes, 2019
Different personalities may lead to different ways of processing environmental information; however, the relationship between personality and cognition is not fully understood as studies on diverse species present contrasting results. As there is great within-flock variability of outdoor ranging behavior in free-range broiler chickens, we tested ...

Keratin 19 as a prognostic marker and contributing factor of metastasis and chemoresistance in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Keratin 19 (KRT19) is overexpressed in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer with high levels of Kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLK) 4–7 and is associated with poor survival. In vivo analyses demonstrate that elevated KRT19 increases peritoneal tumour burden.

NKCC1: A key regulator of glioblastoma progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma (GBM) progression is driven by disrupted chloride cotransporter homeostasis. NKCC1 is highly expressed in stem‐like, astrocytic, and progenitor cells, correlating with earlier recurrence, while overall survival remains unaffected. NKCC1 serves as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target, linking chloride transporter imbalance ...

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Time series of chicken stool metagenomics and egg metabolomics in changing production systems: preliminary insights from a proof-of-concept

One Health Outlook
Background Different production systems of livestock animals influence various factors, including the gut microbiota. Methods We investigated whether changing the conditions from barns to free-range chicken farming impacts the microbiome over the course ...
