Persecution by humans affects nest‐site selection of Hooded Crows: a comparison of an urban and two rural areas

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The Hooded Crow, a bird species that once occurred only in agricultural areas, has colonized urban environments in the last 50–100 years in Europe. Apart from higher food availability, safer nesting sites, better thermoregulation and lower predation in cities, persecution through hunting, trapping or poisoning by humans in rural areas is an important ...

Characterizing Runs of Homozygosity and Inbreeding in American Mink Using SNP Data and Pedigree Information

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding increases the likelihood of deleterious recessive alleles becoming homozygous and consequently affecting economically important traits. Runs of homozygosity (ROH), the continuous homozygous segments of the genome and the higher than expected homozygosity (HOM) are genomic indicators of inbreeding, quantified as FROH and FHOM ...

Cell Therapy for Periodontal, Soft‐Tissue, and Craniofacial Regeneration

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The clinical translation of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) represents a major advancement in dentistry, especially for periodontal, soft‐tissue, and craniofacial regeneration. However, several challenges remain to be addressed, including the absence of standardised protocols, limited scalability, regulatory hurdles, a lack of well‐controlled ...

Reciprocal transport of carbon and nitrogen between plants and the hyphosphere microbiome in a temperate grassland

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Overview of the experimental design and 13CO2 pulse‐labeling approach in the field. Summary Despite its relevance for plant nutrient acquisition, the role of the hyphosphere in structuring fungal–bacterial networks and mediating carbon–nitrogen (C–N) exchange under field conditions remains unclear.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Population-Level Lambing Interval Patterns and Evaluation of Three Previously Reported Candidate SNPs in Hu and Tan Sheep

open access: yesAnimals
Lambing interval is an indicator of reproductive efficiency in ewes. This study characterized population-level lambing interval patterns in Hu and Tan sheep and evaluated three previously reported candidate SNPs in ADAMTSL1, CD226, and PAPPA.

Understanding Exosomes in Hair Regeneration

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Alopecia is a prevalent condition correlated with significant psychosocial challenges, while contemporary treatments exhibit variable efficacy, require extended use, and may cause adverse effects. This review aimed to comprehensively assess exosome‐mediated interventions as a novel cell‐free regenerative approach for hair ...

Effect of heat stress on growth performance, carcase characteristics, meat quality and rumen-muscle axis of Hu sheep

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science
This study aimed to investigate the effects of heat stress (HS) on growth performance, carcase characteristics and rumen-muscle axis of Hu sheep and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms of the actions by establishing a heat-stressed Hu sheep ...

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Sustained Livestock Grazing Enhances Soil Organic Carbon Storage in Sub‐Arctic Grassland

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
We studied long‐term effects of grazing cessation on 34 grassland and heathland sites in Iceland. Grazing cessation was associated with lower SOC, nitrogen and root carbon in the top 10 cm of soil providing evidence for enhanced SOC in grazed land, showing that grazing is a climate change mitigation strategy.
