ABSTRACT This study explored fasting‐induced physiological remodeling effects on meat quality in aged laying hens. Fasting for 15 days (F15) significantly reduced abdominal fat, intermuscular fat width, subcutaneous fat thickness, and liver index versus pre‐fasting (F0) (p < 0.05), which recovered post‐refeeding.

Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Substrate specificity and structural investigation into PepO and PepW : two peptidases from Lactobacillus rhamnosus : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The proteolytic systems of lactic acid bacteria have important roles in the maturation and flavour development of cheese. Lactic acid bacteria pepetidases contribute to the taste of cheese through the production of low-molecular weight peptides and free ...

The Secretome of Human Trophoblast Stem Cells Attenuates Senescence‐Associated Traits
Human trophoblast stem cell‐derived secretome/conditioned medium (hTSC‐CM) and the extracellular vesicles (EVs) therein suppress DNA damage and NF‐κB activation in senescent fibroblasts, in turn reducing the production of senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors. This study highlights hTSC‐CM and EVs as potential senotherapeutic agents.

Chronic tendon pathology: molecular basis and therapeutic implications [PDF]
Tendons are frequently affected by chronic pain or rupture. Many causative factors have been implicated in the pathology, which until relatively recently was under-researched and poorly understood.

ABSTRACT The typical pathology of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by pulmonary vasoconstriction and irreversible pulmonary vascular remodeling. Vascular remodeling is the process of structural changes and cellular rearrangement of blood vessels due to injury and is a significant factor in conditions such as PH.

Group Additive Regression Models for Genomic Data Analysis [PDF]
One important problem in genomic research is to identify genomic features such as gene expression data or DNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are related to clinical phenotypes.

ABSTRACT Aim Genetic connectivity and local adaptation were examined across the distribution of the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri. Because it occupies an exceptional breadth of freshwater environments across a broad geographic range, this species offers key insights into biogeographic processes shaping genetic structure and adaptation in inland ...

The immuneregulator role of neprilysin (NEP) in invertebrates [PDF]
Neprilysin (NEP) represents an important enzyme in both vertebrates and invertebrates. In the present report we have focused our attention to invertebrates. In particular, a structure related to CD10/NEP as well as its activity in different tissues, such

Hydroxyproline-containing collagen analogs trigger the release and activation of collagen-sequestered proMMP-2 by competition with prodomain-derived peptide P33-42. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Fibrolytic and profibrotic activities of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-2 and -9 play a central role in liver fibrosis. Since binding to the extracellular matrix influences the activity of both gelatinases, here the role of fibrillar ...
