The Deubiquitinase UCHL1 Drives Susceptibility to Atrial Fibrillation by Stabilizing CaMKII‐δ

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
UCHL1 is highly upregulated in mice and patients with AF. UCHL1 directly binds to and removes K48‐linked polyubiquitin chains from CaMKII‐δ at K251 and enhances CaMKII‐δ stability, which activates RyR2, disrupts Ca2+ handling, and promotes AF. These findings establish UCHL1 as a critical regulator of CaMKII‐δ stability and AF‐related Ca2+ handling ...

Tracking CDK1 Dynamics With a Novel Biosensor Mouse and Clinical Cohorts to Predict CDK4/6 Inhibitor Sensitivity in ER+ Breast Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK) 1 activity is a dynamic marker of treatment response in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Patient cohorts reveal CDK1 activity increases during progression to invasive disease, where high expression correlates with poor survival. Using a novel Cdk1 biosensor mouse alongside in vitro models, we demonstrate that CDK1

MN•CS•IO System: Cross‐Species Study for HBB Function in High‐Altitude Hypoxia Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We developed an integrative mesh‐nanorod sorting, chitosan nanoparticle delivery, and intraosseous injection (MN•CS•IO) system to investigate HBB in high‐altitude hypoxia adaptation. Transplanting Tibetan animals' HBB‐modified Lin‐ cells into mice achieved 95.59% transfection efficiency and 8.15% HBB expression. High‐altitude HBB recipients upregulated

Determination of Gene‐Level Fitness Contributions Across the Mucin‐Utilization Network of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide CRISPRi and RNA‐seq resolve how B. thetaiotaomicron converts host mucosal glycans into fitness. The study reveals a layered mucin‐utilization architecture in which capsular polysaccharides constrain surface access, extracellular CAZymes and peptidases show functional redundancy, and intracellular catabolic pathways create discrete metabolic

Net mineral requirements for the growth and maintenance of Somali lambs

open access: yesAnimal, 2019
Minerals are limiting factors in animal production, and the knowledge of mineral requirements for livestock is crucial to the success of a commercial enterprise.

An analysis of the forces required to drag sheep over various surfaces

open access: yesApplied Ergonomics, 2002
Some occupational health and safety hazards associated with sheep shearing are related to shearing shed design. One aspect is the floor of the catching pen, from which sheep are caught and dragged to the shearing workstation. Floors can be constructed from various materials, and may be level or gently sloping.

ELF5‐Mediated Enhancer–Promoter Interaction Regulates LALBA Expression in Ovine Mammary Gland

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In the study, we systematically investigate the epigenetic mechanisms underlying lactation traits in sheep by integrating transcriptomic, chromatin accessibility, histone modification, and functional analyses. We identify a super‐enhancer at the LALBA locus and demonstrate that enhancer E4 functions as its core regulatory element.

Ex‐Ante Assessment of Farm Resilience to Institutional Shocks: A Modeling Approach

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the agent‐based model SWISSland, we simulate farm‐level responses and interactions under two institutional shocks: tariff reductions and direct payment reductions. Using a framework we developed, we assess resilience capacities, resilience attributes, and the provision of private and public goods, following the shock.

Hormone glycosylation required for lutropin receptor recognition in sheep testis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1990
The high affinity binding sites for ovine pituitary lutropin (oLH) present in DLS‐1 sheep testis recognized only the fully glycosylated ovine or bovine hormone (bLH) in receptor binding assays using 125I‐labeled oLH. Chemically deglycosylated (DG‐) oLH or bLH which were fully active with other lutropin receptors (rat/pig) were completely inert in the ...

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...
