Effects of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae-Derived Postbiotic in Adult Labrador Retrievers Undergoing Exercise and Transport Stress

Pets
Postbiotics are emerging as potential functional ingredients for companion animal diets. This study aimed to determine if a Saccharomyces cerevisiae-based postbiotic can alter cytokine and stress responses to exercise and transport stress in adult ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Understanding Associations Between Family Rejection, Human–Animal Interaction, and Mental Health Among LGBTQ+ Emerging Adults

Pets
Many LGBTQ+ emerging adults experience rejection from their family of origin. Family rejection is a stressor that contributes to worsened mental health for LGBTQ+ emerging adults. Supportive relationships with others can be an important protective factor

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Rehabilitating wild birds of prey following ocular trauma – should foveal assessment include spectral-domain optical coherence tomography?

BMC Veterinary Research
Background The fovea is an area of increased cone density in the avian retina and provides a high level of visual acuity. Damage to the fovea may negatively impact survival of birds of prey in the wild. The goal of this prospective, descriptive study was

Beneficial Effects of Nutraceuticals, Especially Polyphenols on Canine Health

Pets
The use of nutraceuticals, mainly phytogenics, is increasingly widespread in animal nutrition, especially in dogs. The materials typically used to provide these very diverse natural compounds come from plants, but lately algae and fungi have also been ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
