BMC Veterinary Research, 2020 Background Classical scrapie susceptibility in sheep has been linked to three polymorphisms at codon 136, 154, and 171 in the prion protein gene (PRNP) whereas atypical scrapie susceptibility is related to polymorphisms at codon 141.

Epigenetic Modifications Influence Reproductive Traits in Small Ruminants
Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The epigenome undergoes dynamic changes shaped by the intricate interplay of genetic and environmental factors, which are crucial for individual growth and development. Recent studies suggest that factors such as nutrition, thermal stress (TS), infections, and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) can influence epigenetic changes in small ruminants

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are widely engaged in tumor progression in the tumor microenvironment. CAFs interact actively with immunocytes including tumor‐associated macrophages, T cells, neutrophils, and NK cells in a positive‐feedback loop to sculpt tumor immune microenvironment and participate in tumor activities and antitumor therapy ...

Partial Copurification of Scrapie-Associated Fibrils and Scrapie Infectivity
Intervirology, 1986 The association between scrapie infectivity and scrapie-associated fibrils (SAF) during a partial purification procedure for infectivity was investigated. Scrapie infectivity and SAF can be separated from most membrane components by subcellular fractionation of infected mouse brain to obtain a synaptosomal fraction, followed by detergent treatment and ...
