A Multimodal Approach to Treatment and Management of Rumination Syndrome in a California Sea Lion (Zalophus californianus)

Animals
The management of chronic rumination syndrome in professionally cared-for animals requires a comprehensive and individualized approach. In this case study, a multimodal approach incorporating pharmacological treatment, feeding modifications, and ...

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Scalable Access to N‑Acylindole Linkages: Enabling the Synthesis of Antitrypanosomal Noncanonical Cyclic Peptides for Chagas Disease

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A gram‐scale supply of bulbiferamide A, which features a rare N‐acylindole linkage and possesses potent inhibitory activity against Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes (IC50 = 4.1 µM)—the causative parasite of Chagas disease—was successfully achieved. Moreover, the cyclization strategy developed in this study facilitated the synthesis of noncanonical ...

Standardization of Dolphin Cardiac Auscultation and Characterization of Heart Murmurs in Managed and Free-Ranging Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Cardiac auscultation is an important, albeit underutilized tool in aquatic animal medicine due to the many challenges associated with in-water examinations.

Sustainable bioplastics manufacturing from renewable sources

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bioplastics are manufactured by using polymers from different bio‐based sources. These novel materials not only offer biodegradability but also possess various functional properties that make them suitable for diverse applications. Recent developments in the preparation of bioplastics are reported, highlighting the distinct properties of each type of ...

Ecological drivers of movement for two sympatric marine predators in the California current large marine ecosystem

Movement Ecology
Background An animal’s movement reflects behavioral decisions made to address ecological needs; specifically, that movement will become less directional in regions with high prey availability, indicating foraging behavior.

Linkages between human health and ocean health: a participatory climate change vulnerability assessment for marine mammal harvesters [PDF]

International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2013
Background. Indigenous residents of Alaska’s Bering Strait Region depend, both culturally and nutritionally, on ice seal and walrus harvests. Currently, climate change and resultant increases in marine industrial development threaten these species

Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

Capturing foraging and resting behavior using nested multivariate Markov models in an air-breathing marine vertebrate

Movement Ecology, 2018
Background Matching animal movement with the behaviors that shape life history requires a rigorous connection between the observed patterns of space use and inferred behavioral states. As animal-borne dataloggers capture a greater diversity and frequency
