Conservation Status of Two Italian Local Poultry Breeds: Faraona Camosciata and Oca Padovana
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to assess the conservation status and characterize the phenotypic and genomic diversity of two endangered Italian poultry genetic resources to guide their conservation plans. Blood samples and morphometric data were collected on 50 Faraona Camosciata (FAC, Numida meleagris) and 50 Oca Padovana (OPD, Anser anser) adult ...

Abstract BACKGROUND APPE693Q (“Dutch”) transgenic mice develop aging‐related learning deficits and accumulate endogenously generated non‐fibrillar aggregates (NFAs) of amyloid beta (Aβ) and amyloid precursor protein α‐carboxy terminal fragments. NFA‐Aβ correlates with synaptic loss and memory deficits more closely than does fibrillar Aβ.

Regulation of the Na+,Cl- Coupled Creatine Transporter CreaT (SLC6A8) by the Janus Kinase JAK3
Background: The creatine transporter CreaT (SLC6A8), a Na+,Cl- coupled transporter is expressed in diverse tissues including the brain. Genetic defects of SLC6A8 result in mental retardation with seizures.

Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

A two‐stage transcriptomic filter comparing rHuEPO, exercise and altitude responses reduced 153 candidate genes to 50 that were unaffected by physiological stimuli. These retained transcripts offer focused biomarker leads to strengthen antidoping detection of rHuEPO.

Abstract The global prevalence of obesity and related metabolic disorders has spurred interdisciplinary research to develop new intervention strategies. Current research is increasingly focusing on the exercise‐induced browning of white adipose tissue and the mechanisms by which it improves energy metabolism.

Contributions of SGK3 to transporter-related diseases
Serum- and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 3 (SGK3), which is ubiquitously expressed in mammals, is regulated by estrogens and androgens. SGK3 is activated by insulin and growth factors through signaling pathways involving phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase ...

Optimal neuromuscular performance requires motor neuron phosphagen kinases
Abstract figure legend Motor neuron (MN) terminals in fruit flies, mice and humans contain phosphagen kinases, a key enzyme in their energy storage and buffering system. Here we knocked down the primary phosphagen kinase in fruit fly larvae (arginine kinase 1 (ArgK1)) but were surprised to find that MN endurance was unaffected.

ABSTRACT Diagnosing systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) poses significant challenges. Accumulating evidence has indicated that tRNA‐derived fragments (tRFs) play integral roles in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. Plasma samples were collected from individuals diagnosed with sJIA and healthy controls (HCs) from two medical centers and ...

Creatine transporter deficiency: Novel mutations and functional studies
X-linked cerebral creatine deficiency (MIM 300036) is caused by deficiency of the creatine transporter encoded by the SLC6A8 gene. Here we report three patients with this condition from Israel.
