Production of Long Chain Fatty Alcohols Found in Bumblebee Pheromones by Yarrowia lipolytica
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Fatty alcohols (FA-OH) are aliphatic unbranched primary alcohols with a chain of four or more carbon atoms. Besides potential industrial applications, fatty alcohols have important biological functions as well. In nature, fatty alcohols are produced as a

Semiochemical responsive olfactory sensory neurons are sexually dimorphic and plastic
eLife, 2020 Understanding how genes and experience work in concert to generate phenotypic variability will provide a better understanding of individuality. Here, we considered this in the main olfactory epithelium, a chemosensory structure with over a thousand ...

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.The effects of restricted nursing (RN) and the administration of a bovine appeasing substance (BAS) on days −8 and 0 in relation to weaning were evaluated. Both strategies were effective in improving the growth performance of beef calves. Regarding welfare, BAS ‐especially on day 0‐ was more effective than RN.
