Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Stem cell–based therapies for type 1 diabetes: Progress in differentiation, clinical translation, and immune protection

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into functional pancreatic β cells have emerged as a promising strategy for the radical treatment of type 1 diabetes, with preclinical and early clinical evidence demonstrating reversal of hyperglycemia and insulin independence.

Development of a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification‐lateral flow dipstick (LAMP‐LFD) assay and on‐site rapid detection evaluation for Rodentibacter heylii and Rodentibacter pneumotropicus

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study established a closed‐tube LAMP‐LFD assay for detecting Rodentibacter heylii and Rodentibacter pneumotropicus. The method exhibited high sensitivity (detection limits of 10−5 ng/μL for R. heylii and 10−4 ng/μL for R. pneumotropicus), high specificity, reliable performance with clinical samples, and effective validation in experimental ...

Survival of Trichinella papuae muscle larvae in a pig carcass maintained under simulated natural conditions in Papua New Guinea

, 2007
In Papua New Guinea, Trichinella papuae, a non-encapsulated species, is circulating among wild and domestic pigs and saltwater crocodiles. Since an important phase of the life cycle of nematodes of the genus Trichinella is the time of survival of ...

Animal models in molecular biology research: Challenges, ethical imperatives, and the path to human‐relevant translation

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how molecular biology research has shifted from using traditional animal models toward using methods that are more relevant to humans. It points out the main problems, differences between species, difficulty in reproducing results, moral issues, and lack of infrastructure that make translational accuracy harder to achieve ...

Tooth eruption status and bite force determine dental microwear texture gradients in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Effects of social experience on the behaviour of male guinea pigs and rats [PDF]

, 1984
Most animals have some social experience, and in non-solitary species social experiences may be frequent and various. Evolutionary theory predicts this experience should lead to changes in behaviour which maximise inclusive fitness.

Optical Aberrations of Guinea Pig Eyes. [PDF]

, 2020
PURPOSE: The guinea pig is widely used in studies of refractive error development and myopia which often involve experimental optical manipulations. The study described here investigated the optical quality of the guinea pig eye, for which there are ...

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part I Reproducibility of diet inference using different instruments

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.
