Application of open field, tonic immobility, and attention bias tests to hens with different ranging patterns [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Assessment of negative affective states is a key component of animal welfare research. In laying hens, excessive fearfulness results in reduced production and increased sensitivity to stress.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.

Goblet cell hypertrophy in small intestines of free-range chicken in Jakarta traditional market infected with cestode worms

Current Biomedicine
Background: Free-range chickens are one of the animal protein needs people often look for. Maintaining free-range chickens with a free cage system predisposes them to infection with gastrointestinal parasites.

COMPARISON AND RISK ASSESSMENT OF TRACE METAL CONTENT IN FACTORY-FARMED BROILER AND FREE-RANGE CHICKEN MEAT SOLD IN LAGUNA, PHILIPPINES

Food and Environment Safety, 2022
Chicken meat consumption remains high in the Philippines, and consequently, annual chicken production has risen steadily over the years. Although most of the chicken meat available in the market are sourced from factory farms, there has been growing ...

Male chicken thigh meat quality from fast and slow growing breeds from an organic free-range system [PDF]

, 2009
Significant effects of Genotype and Age on several of the technological meat quality attributes measured were found. In general, the meat from fast growing birds (JA) was darker, more tender, had a higher water-binding but a higher cooking loss.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...
