Rapid screening of staphylokinase protein variants using an unpurified cell‐free expression system
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.An unpurified cell‐free protein synthesis (CFPS) platform enables rapid functional screening of staphylokinase variants. Direct plasminogen‐activation assays performed in microplate format provide real‐time activity readouts, allowing rapid identification and ranking of variants with improved or reduced fibrinolytic activity without protein ...

The breeding ecology of whimbrel (Numenius Phaeopus) in Shetland: with particular reference to the effects of agricultural improvement of Heathland nesting habitats [PDF]
, 1989 The effect of re-seeding of heathland on the breeding ecology of whimbrel in Shetland was studied from 1986-1988, on five study sites located on the islands of Unst and Fetlar.

Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

Breeding for trypanotolerance in African cattle
, 2001 Trypanosomosis, or sleeping sickness, is one of the most important livestock diseases in Africa. Some West African cattle breeds show a degree of resistance to a trypanosome infection: they are trypanotolerant.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

Aspects of the breeding biology of wading birds (charadrii) on a saltmarsh [PDF]
, 1979 Aspects of the breeding biology of Lapwing, Oyster- catcher and Redshank were studied on a dry, cattle-grazed saltmarsh, Rockcliffe Marsh, in Cumbria. The vegetation of the marsh was predominantly graminoid, due to the influence of grazing and trampling ...

The Role of Olfaction in Dogs: Evolution, Biology, and Human-Oriented Work
AnimalsDogs show exceptional olfactory sensitivity and are widely used in medical, rescue, military, and forensic applications, yet the determinants of individual and breed-level scent-work performance remain incompletely characterized.
