Determination of the standardized ileal amino acid digestibility of corn in 13-day-old broilers and establishment of the prediction equations

Poultry Science
This study was conducted to evaluate apparent ileal amino acid digestibility (AID AA) and standardized ileal amino acid digestibility (SID AA) in corn with different sources fed to broilers and to establish prediction equations of SID AA based on the ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Unraveling the role of long non-coding RNAs in chronic heat stress-induced muscle injury in broilers

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Chronic heat stress (CHS) is a detrimental environmental stressor with a negative impact on the meat quality of broilers. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.

Determination and prediction of standardized ileal amino acid digestibility of wheat for pullets during the brooding and growing phases

Poultry Science
Wheat serves as a major alternative to corn in layer diets. However, the assessment and predictive models for standardized ileal digestibility of amino acids (SIDAA) from wheat in pullets have not yet been fully established, limiting precision ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

The Curtin–Chifley Origins of the Australian Bank Deposit Guarantee

Agenda - A Journal of Policy Analysis and Reform, 2015
In 2008, the Australian government introduced a guarantee of bank deposits. However, in 1945 the Curtin-Chifley government had already introduced what it believed was an explicit bank deposit guarantee. Using archival material, this paper shows how it was understood to be a guarantee by the cabinet, Labor parliamentarians, and the Commonwealth Bank ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Effects of chronic heat stress on Ca2+ homeostasis, apoptosis, and protein carbonylation profiles in the breast muscle of broilers

Poultry Science
: Heat stress (HS) largely impairs the quality of broiler breast meat through protein oxidative modification. This study aimed to investigate the carbonylation pattern of Ca2+ channels and apoptotic proteins in the breast muscle of heat-stressed broilers.
