Gluten‐free breadsticks with Ganoderma‐fermented corncobs: technological and nutritional features
Abstract Background This study investigates the use of corncobs before and after fermentation with Ganoderma annularis (G) to enhance the nutritional value of gluten‐free breadsticks. Medicinal mushrooms are known to increase the nutrient profile of substrates through solid‐state fermentation (SSF); nevertheless, using the entire SSF – as adopted in ...

Genomic and phenotypic characterisation of a wild Medaka population: Establishing an isogenic population genetic resource in fish [PDF]
Background Oryzias latipes (Medaka) has been established as a vertebrate genetic model for over a century, and has recently been rediscovered outside its native Japan. The power of new sequencing methods now makes it possible to reinvigorate Medaka genetics, in particular by establishing a near-isogenic panel derived from a single wild population ...

ABSTRACT Background and aims Probe‐based confocal endomicroscopy (pCLE) allows real‐time microscopic visualization of the intestinal mucosa surface layers. Despite remission achieved through anti‐tumor necrosis factor or vedolizumab therapy, anomalies in the intestinal epithelial barrier are observed in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.

Hemodynamic assessment of pulmonary hypertension in mice: a model based analysis of the disease mechanism [PDF]
This study uses a one dimensional fluid dynamics arterial network model to infer changes in hemodynamic quantities associated with pulmonary hypertension in mice. Data for this study include blood flow and pressure measurements from the main pulmonary artery for 7 control mice with normal pulmonary function and 5 hypertensive mice with hypoxia induced ...

mGluR5 Knockout mice exhibit normal conditioned place-preference to cocaine [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) null mutant (-/-) mice have been reported to totally lack the rein- forcing or locomotor stimulating effects of cocaine. We tested mGluR5 -/- and +/+ mice for their locomotor and conditioned place- preference response to cocaine.

Evaluation of an outbred mouse model for Francisella tularensis vaccine development and testing.
Francisella tularensis (Ft) is a biothreat agent for which there is no FDA-approved human vaccine. Currently, there are substantial efforts underway to develop both vaccines and the tools to assess these vaccines.

Chromosomal rearrangements as a source of new gene formation in Drosophila yakuba [PDF]
The origins of new genes are among the most fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. Our understanding of the ways that new genetic material appears and how that genetic material shapes population variation remains incomplete. De novo genes and duplicate genes are a key source of new genetic material on which selection acts.

Radiation-induced myeloid leukemia in murine models. [PDF]
The use of radiation therapy is a cornerstone of modern cancer treatment. The number of patients that undergo radiation as a part of their therapy regimen is only increasing every year, but this does not come without cost.
