The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Changes in the gut microbiome during fasting‐induced molting and its effects on gut–liver function

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
During fasting, harmful microbiota and metabolites rise, triggering intestinal injury and activation of the TGF‐β signaling pathway, which enhances intestinal stem cell proliferation. Concurrently, hepatic function declines, indicated by increased hepatic and serum bile acids and upregulation of the non‐classical bile acid synthesis pathway.

Genetic parameters for social effects on survival in cannibalistic layers: Combining survival analysis and a linear animal model

, 2010
Background Mortality due to cannibalism in laying hens is a difficult trait to improve genetically, because censoring is high (animals still alive at the end of the testing period) and it may depend on both the individual itself and the behaviour of its ...

The Non‐Professional Virtues of the Hospice Volunteer

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volunteers have long played a significant role in hospice care. Much of the care volunteers provide consists of weekly hour‐long in‐home visits. Home‐visiting hospice volunteers are not professionals, nor are they strangers or intimates. Hospice volunteers will not typically face moral dilemmas, nor be called upon to make dramatic decisions ...

The Art of Reception: Field Visits as Microcosms for Development Interventions of Non‐Governmental Organisations in Uganda

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Field visits are common phenomena with non‐governmental organisations in Uganda. During these visits, Ugandan national staff guide visitors on series of meetings and interactions in the field. Following an actor‐oriented approach and drawing on ethnographic data on 14 field visits, this paper understands the field visit as a microcosm for the ...

Maintaining egg freshness in the absence of refrigeration: The potential of zero‐energy cooling pots

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Egg storage in regions with unreliable electricity is challenging, leading to rapid quality deterioration and postharvest losses. This study evaluated the efficacy of a Zero‐Energy Cooling (ZEC) pot, an evaporative cooling technology, for preserving table egg quality in comparison to conventional refrigeration and ambient storage ...

Separation of trichothecene mycotoxins in a matrix of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seed, and quantification of deoxynivalenol in hemp grain infected with Fusarium graminearum

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fusarium graminearum, one of the causal agents of ear rot in maize and head blight of cereal grains, also infects hemp (Cannabis sativa L. containing a maximum of 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol or THC). This fungal pathogen produces trichothecene mycotoxins when it infects maize and cereal grains, but little is known about its production

Social, Technological, Economic, and Policy Factors in the Circular Economy Transition in Brazil

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A well‐functioning circular economy (CE) integrates resilience across economic, environmental, and social dimensions. This study identifies key drivers and barriers to Brazil's CE transition through 20 semi‐structured interviews with stakeholders. Major sociocultural barriers include inadequate education and limited CE awareness, while growing
