Evaluating the profound effect of gut microbiome on host appetite in pigs
BMC Microbiology, 2018 Background There are growing evidences showing that gut microbiota should play an important role in host appetite and feeding behavior. However, what kind of microbe(s) and how they affect porcine appetite remain unknown.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

Genotyping of Ukrainian Large White pigs by intronic polymorphism in HMGA1 gene
Біологія тваринThe HMGA1 (High Mobility Group AT-hook 1) gene is considered a candidate locus for growth- and fatness-related traits in pigs due to its involvement in transcriptional regulation and energy metabolism and its localization within a quantitative trait ...

A Phenotypic and Genetic Analysis of Still Born Piglets
, 2012 Still born piglets (SB) are a major economic cost to the pig industry. Not only is there a cost associated with the loss of a potential finished pig, there are also costs associated with the gestation of that animal to the sow.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Current clinical approaches for knee cartilage repair are often limited by hypertrophy and fibrosis in the regenerated tissues. A decellularized tissue‐engineered hyaline cartilage graft (dLhCG), composed of a type II collagen‐based extracellular matrix, has been developed to overcome this limitation.

Early Retinal UCHL1 Dysregulation Coupled With Synaptic Loss Reflects Alzheimer's Disease Severity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies synapse‐enriched deubiquitinase UCHL1 as an early Aβ‐responsive regulator of retinal synaptopathy in Alzheimer's disease. Retinal UCHL1 loss accompanies excitatory synapse degeneration, p75NTR activation, and neuroinflammation, and predicts Braak stage and cognitive decline. Aβ42 fibrils trigger synaptic and UCHL1 depletion before

Higher Heritability Estimates for Fat and Muscle Depth Obtained Using the PorkScan™ System
, 2012 Fat and muscle depth are important characteristics that determine the market value of a pig carcase. Pig breeding programs often consider these traits using ultrasound information recorded on the live animal, since information on selection candidates ...

Synchronization‐Dissipation in the Cardiorespiratory System
Advanced Science, EarlyView.By modeling central nervous coupling and viscoelastic interactions in the cardiorespiratory system we show that synchronization produces a 10% gain in cardiac efficiency in humans. It is surmised that respiratory sinus arrhythmia improves cardiac pumping efficiency by reducing dynamic stress and power dissipation in the pulmonary vasculature.

Not more than three tissue kallikreins identified from organs of the guinea pig [PDF]
, 1999 The large and varied multigene families of tissue kallikreins of rat and mouse are considered to selectively release as many bioactive peptides. In order to determine whether a similar family of enzymes is expressed in the organs of the guinea pig ...
