Plasma: Solving piglet growth and diarrhoea dilemma [PDF]
Recent studies in European pig farms show that APC’s plasma functional proteins are a key ingredient in nursery diets, helping to solve the dilemma of reducing post-weaning diarrhoea without compromising piglet growth and performance.info:eu-repo ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Multianalyte, real‐time monitoring of bioprinted scaffolds remains challenging. Phosphorescence‐lifetime–based, optically responsive microparticles are embedded in diverse printable hydrogels (κ‐carrageenan, GelMA, PEGDA) to form biomaterial inks that report oxygen, glucose, lactate, and temperature.

Mechanical and Electrical Phenotype of hiPSC‐Cardiomyocytes on Fibronectin‐Based Hydrogels
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.We introduce fibronectin‐based PEG hydrogels with controlled rigidity to enable the culture of iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes. These substrates offer an alternative to the current culture of these cells on fibronectin‐coated glass, providing enhanced structural and functional behavior. The system provides a more physiologically relevant platform to assess

Using the Piglet Scream Test to enhance piglet survival on farms: data from outdoor sows.
, 2007 The point of the Piglet Scream Test is to identify those sows that increase the survival of their piglets through good maternal behaviour. For this to work, sows must be shown to differ in their test responsiveness, for differences to be consistent ...
