Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

Screening of Litter-Size-Associated SNPs in NOX4, PDE11A and GHR Genes of Sheep
AnimalsIn previous studies, NOX4, PDE11A and GHR genes have been screened as important candidate genes for litter size in sheep by using the GWAS method; however, neither their effects on litter size nor the loci associated with litter size have been identified.

Influence of litter size on growth and structure of m. semitendinosus in newborn piglets and slaughter pigs [PDF]
Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2017 Modern meat production has to meet the requirements of profitability, while meeting the demands of consumers in terms of meat quality at the same time. Huge scientific work has been done in order to find balance between quantity and quality of meet. Most

PRDM16 is necessary for sensory neuronal development and differentiation in the trigeminal ganglion
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Cranial neural crest cells (cNCC) generate craniofacial cartilage, bone, and peripheral neurons and glia, and birth defects arise when the cartilage/neuronal/glial progenitors fail to differentiate. PRDM16 is a transcriptional regulator containing both zinc‐finger and SET domains, implicated in craniofacial development and orofacial

Biotic and abiotic drivers of ecosystem functioning differ between a temperate and a tropical region
Ecography, EarlyView.Any single ecosystem will provide many ecosystem functions. Yet, we lack large‐scale, systematic studies of how abiotic factors can directly or indirectly – via effects on biodiversity – drive ecosystem functioning. In this study, we assessed the impact of climate, landscape and biotic community on ecosystem functioning in the temperate and tropical ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Habitat fragmentation alters species diversity and reshapes community composition. However, conventional pairwise approaches to compositional variation (i.e. beta diversity metrics) do not explicitly characterize how species sharing or turnover change with the number of habitat patches.

Species traits mediate terrestrial mammal density responses to human impacts
Ecography, EarlyView.Human activities are reshaping ecosystems, but their effects on species population density remain poorly understood. Most studies focus on species presence–absence, thus limiting insight into how anthropogenic pressures affect population density. Emerging evidence suggests that responses of natural populations to human disturbance are highly variable ...
