Imputation-Based Whole-Genome Sequence Association Study Rediscovered the Missing QTL for Lumbar Number in Sutai Pigs

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Resequencing a number of individuals of various breeds as reference population and imputing the whole-genome sequences of individuals that were genotyped with medium-density chips to perform an association study is a very efficient strategy.

16S rRNA gene-based association study identified microbial taxa associated with pork intramuscular fat content in feces and cecum lumen

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2017
Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) that deposits among muscle fibers or within muscle cells is an important meat quality trait in pigs. Previous studies observed the effects of dietary nutrients and additives on improving the pork IMF.

Ear, tail and skin lesions vary according to different production flows in a farrow-to-finish pig farm

open access: yesPorcine Health Management, 2019
Background Pig performance and risk of disease are associated with production flow. Given the link between health and welfare, it is likely that animal welfare indicators are also associated with production flow.

Growth Factor‐Loaded Mesoporous Silica Particles, Incorporated in Electrospun PCL Fibres, Provide Topographical and Chemical Cues for Tendon Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electrospinning enables the hierarchical assembly of nanofiber‐based scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, encapsulated proteins often undergo structural changes. This study used mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as protective carriers, mitigating protein denaturation and supporting controlled release.

A Bistable Assistive Device for Wireless Control of a Dysfunctional Bladder Under Minimal Stress

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper presents a wireless system designed to restore bladder function in patients with an underactive bladder (UAB). The system features a multilayered structure, combining a pre‐shaped restoration layer with a spring‐based actuator. The system delivers 95–100% voiding efficiency within a 10‐s activation while ensuring minimal stress on the ...
