EMA and EFSA Joint Scientific Opinion on measures to reduce the need to use antimicrobial agents in animal husbandry in the European Union, and the resulting impacts on food safety (RONAFA)

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2017., 2017
Abstract EFSA and EMA have jointly reviewed measures taken in the EU to reduce the need for and use of antimicrobials in food‐producing animals, and the resultant impacts on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Reduction strategies have been implemented successfully in some Member States.

Identification of Alternative Variants and Insertion of the Novel Polymorphic AluYl17 in TSEN54 Gene during Primate Evolution

open access: yesInternational Journal of Genomics, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
TSEN54 encodes a subunit of the tRNA‐splicing endonuclease complex, which catalyzes the identification and cleavage of introns from precursor tRNAs. Previously, we identified an AluSx‐derived alternative transcript in TSEN54 of cynomolgus monkey. Reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) amplification and TSEN54 sequence analysis of ...

The Evolution of Primate Litter Size

open access: yesHumans
Litter size plays an essential role in mammalian evolution and is one of the most important factors determining whether an organism is deemed to have a ‘slow’ or ‘fast’ life history strategy.

Rodent monocyte‐derived macrophages do not express CD163: Comparative analysis using macrophages from living boreoeutherians

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 4, Page 372-402, April 2026.
Abstract Background CD163 is a scavenger receptor predominantly expressed on the surfaces of macrophages in various mammalian species and is a marker of anti‐inflammatory (M2‐like) macrophages. High density of CD163‐positive tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) is associated with worse prognosis in various patient tumors.

Adaptive Evolution Coupled with Retrotransposon Exaptation Allowed for the Generation of a Human‐Protein‐Specific Coding Gene That Promotes Cancer Cell Proliferation and Metastasis in Both Haematological Malignancies and Solid Tumours: The Extraordinary Case of MYEOV Gene

open access: yesScientifica, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The incidence of cancer in human is high as compared to chimpanzee. However previous analysis has documented that numerous human cancer‐related genes are highly conserved in chimpanzee. Till date whether human genome includes species‐specific cancer‐related genes that could potentially contribute to a higher cancer susceptibility remains obscure.

ELFN1-AS1: A Novel Primate Gene with Possible MicroRNA Function Expressed Predominantly in Human Tumors

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Human gene LOC100505644 uncharacterized LOC100505644 [Homo sapiens] (Entrez Gene ID 100505644) is abundantly expressed in tumors but weakly expressed in few normal tissues. Till now the function of this gene remains unknown. Here we identified the chromosomal borders of the transcribed region and the major splice form of the LOC100505644‐specific ...

Placental Evolution within the Supraordinal Clades of Eutheria with the Perspective of Alternative Animal Models for Human Placentation

open access: yesAdvances in Biology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Here a survey of placental evolution is conducted. Placentation is a key factor for the evolution of placental mammals that had evolved an astonishing diversity. As a temporary organ that does not allow easy access, it is still not well understood. The lack of data also is a restriction for better understanding of placental development, structure, and ...

Variation in Pubic Symphysis Fusion Across Primates: Implications for Obstetric Adaptation

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 186, Issue 2, February 2025.
Variation in the fusion of the pubic symphysis in primate pelves. ABSTRACT Objectives The unfused human pubic symphysis has been interpreted as an obstetric adaptation to facilitate the passage of a large‐brained baby through a relatively small, bipedally adapted pelvis.

Costs and benefits of solitary living in mammals

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 323, Issue 1, Page 9-18, May 2024.
Seven main factors that influence the social organization of a species. + indicates which condition favours solitary living, − which favours group living. Combined, these factors influence whether solitary or group living leads to a net benefit for females. In mammals, social organization is mainly determined by how females distribute themselves, while
