The evidence for old age motor neuron death: A scoping review. [PDF]
Physiol RepWe systematically evaluated the extant literature on age‐related motor neuron (MN) death in aging, focusing on studies directly assessing MNs. We show that in the spinal cord and brainstem, there is robust evidence for MN loss, particularly in the human spinal cord. In rats, MN loss was readily observed across a variety of labelling methods and regions,

Effects of Increased Distal Limb Mass on Stability During Arboreal Locomotion in the Laboratory Rat (Rattus norvegicus). [PDF]
J MorpholWe placed small weighted bracelets on the wrist and ankle joints of laboratory rats to test the effects of limb mass on stability during locomotion. We found that adding mass to the distal parts of limbs does not, on its own, augment stability during quadrupedal locomotion.

The effects of buprenorphine on behaviour in the ACI and BN rat inbred strains [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 2008 Summary Buprenorphine is a partial μ, κ agonist that has been shown to influence spontaneous behaviour in animals. Previously, we have demonstrated significant differences in the analgesic response to buprenorphine between the August Copenhagen Irish (ACI)/SegHsd and the Brown Norway (BN)/RijHsd inbred rat strains.

Nest-building behaviour in male rats from three inbred strains: BN/HsdCpb, BDIX/Or1Ico and LEW/Mol
Animal Welfare, 2005 AbstractThree inbred strains of male laboratory rat (BN/HsdCpb, BDIX/Or1Ico and LEW/Mol) were provided with nest boxes and nest materials, and were observed for nest-building activity. After 7 days, each cage and nest box was examined. Each nest was weighed and scored for complexity, and returned to the cage.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction of dwarfism to cereals has set a new paradigm in crop improvement programmes. To date, very little progress has been made in the development of high‐yielding dwarf/semi‐dwarf genotypes in oilseed Brassica. Previous attempts using induced mutagenesis employed in the induction of dwarfism in Brassica crops yielded limited success ...

Drone‐based phenotyping of maize for multiple disease resistance and yield in breeding field trials
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Improving selection for multiple disease resistance (MDR) and yield in maize (Zea mays L.) requires high‐throughput, objective phenotyping tools, particularly under field conditions where several foliar diseases co‐occur. We evaluated drone‐based multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB ...

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Meconium‐stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) is a common intrapartum finding associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Comprehensive global estimates of its prevalence and determinants are lacking. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to estimate the global pooled prevalence of MSAF and classify its associated factors.

Improvement of Mouse Spermatozoa Freezing at −80°C With Ascorbic Acid 2‐Glucoside at Thawing Phase
Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1647-1655, September 2026.ABSTRACT Background Sperm cryopreservation is the most common method to maintain a great number of mutant mouse lines. However, the use of liquid nitrogen (LN2) for freezing presents considerable problems in terms of cost, safety, and accessibility. For this reason, the storage of semen samples at ‐80° in ultra‐freezers has been increasingly used in ...

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 2744-2774, August 2026.ABSTRACT Hereditary angioedema (HAE) with C1 inhibitor deficiency is a rare disease characterized by unpredictable episodes of tissue swelling (angioedema), which, in most cases, occur first under the age of 18 years, and entail a significant burden of disease not only for the patients but also for their families.
