Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This paper shows that size‐exclusion chromatography and sequential centrifugation applied to seminal plasma enrich for different populations of extracellular vesicles. This may significantly affect the detection and analysis of extracellular vesicle‐associated cancer biomarkers.

Characteristics of Piglets Born by Two Highly Prolific Sow Hybrids
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 High piglet mortality constitutes a welfare challenge in Danish organic pig production with almost one in three piglets dying before weaning. Piglet characteristics such as birth weight, rectal temperature and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR ...

Modeling and Assessing Heat Transfer of Piglet Microclimates
AgriEngineering, 2021 High piglet pre-weaning mortality rates can be attributed to poor creep area microclimate resulting in negative productivity, welfare, and economic consequences.

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

Genetic and clinical studies of teat traits in the pig [PDF]
, 2013 A major goal of pig breeding is to produce sows with good longevity, which can raise many uniform litters with healthy, fast-growing piglets. The fitness of the sow, including the presence of sufficient number of functional teats, is one key to the ...
