Reticuloendotheliosis in Japanese quail [PDF]

Avian Pathology, 1974
An outbreak of reticuloendotheliosis occurred in a flock of Japanese quail. The most striking and consistent lesion observed was a marked thickening and nodular formations along the digestive tract. Other organs were involved with varying degrees of frequency, with tumour masses being observed in the lungs, liver, spleen, heart, pancreas, caeca ...

Bio‐Inspired Biopolymeric Implantable Platform for Localized and Sustained Drug Delivery in Solid Tumor Treatment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A bio‐inspired biopolymeric implantable drug delivery platform enables localized and sustained release of 7‐ethyl‐10‐hydroxycamptothecin (SN‐38) in solid tumor treatment. The three‐dimensional (3D) structured crosslinked‐chitosan implants are fabricated via 3D‐printed molds and provide drug release over 3 months, significantly inhibiting tumor growth ...

Dietary Schizochytrium algal powder is an effective strategy to develop docosahexaenoic acid-enriched eggs in Chinese yellow-feathered laying quails

Poultry Science
Although docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) enrichment in eggs has been extensively studied in laying hens, research on DHA-fortified eggs in quails remains limited.

Metagenomic Analysis Identifies Sex-Related Cecal Microbial Gene Functions and Bacterial Taxa in the Quail

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Background: Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) are important and widely distributed poultry in China. Researchers continue to pursue genetic selection for heavier quail. The intestinal microbiota plays a substantial role in growth promotion; however, the
