The variability of giraffe skull morphology

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
What does giraffe skull shape tell us about their development and evolution? Abstract Giraffe (Giraffa spp.) are among the most unique and charismatic extant animals, largely due to their distinct morphology. The evolutionary and developmental origin of ossicones is a key factor in giraffid biology, yet other features building their characteristic head

Perceptions of Medications and Supplements by U.S. Dog‐Interested Members of the Public and Final‐Year Veterinary Students

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary graduates must be prepared to educate clients about medications and supplements. We surveyed 1955 Dog Aging Project newsletter recipients and 40 final‐year veterinary students at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences on their perceptions about medications and supplements. Respondents indicated whether each

A cell system with targeted disruption of the SMN gene: functional conservation of the SMN protein and dependence of Gemin2 on SMN.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 2001
The motor neuron degenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy is caused by reduced expression of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. Here we report a genetic system developed in the chicken pre-B cell line DT40, in which the endogenous SMN gene is disrupted by homologous recombination, and SMN protein is expressed from a chicken SMN cDNA under ...

Cellular immune response of Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma americanum to entomopathogenic fungi: Implications for biological tick control

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Amblyomma sculptum showed a plasmatocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana increased plasmatocytes and reduced granulocytes, whereas Metarhizium robertsii did not cause significant changes. Amblyomma americanum showed a granulocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana reduced total haemocytes and granulocytes. B.

Analysis of SMN protein in umbilical cord blood and postnatal peripheral blood of neonates with SMA: a rationale for prompt treatment initiation to prevent SMA development

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe genetic neuromuscular disease caused by insufficient functional survival motor neuron protein (SMN). The SMN expression level in the spinal cord is highest during the 2nd trimester of the foetal period.

COCHLEATA controls spatial regulation of cytokinin and auxin during nodule development

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Nodule development defects in the coch mutant include root‐like structures, reduced colonisation, and vascular disorganisation. Summary Root nodules host nitrogen‐fixing bacteria and likely evolved through modifications of the lateral root program. Members of the NOOT‐BOP‐COCH‐LIKE transcriptional coregulator family suppress root identity in nodules ...

Drought affects Fe deficiency‐induced responses in a purple durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) genotype

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Combined Fe deficiency and drought in durum wheat trigger interactive responses: drought suppressed root Fe uptake regardless of Fe availability, and both stresses altered phytosiderophore release, ABA level and Fe transporter gene expression, revealing a trade‐off between water and Fe. Abstract Iron (Fe) is essential for plants and humans, with over 2

Health care policy trial of primary human papillomavirus–based cervical screening in Denmark: Comparison of three triage algorithms

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 12, Page 3197-3207, 15 June 2026.
What's new? Primary human papillomavirus (HPV)–based screening has shown superiority to cytology‐based screening in reducing cervical cancer risk in clinical trials. However, the benefit must be balanced with potential overdiagnosis/overtreatment.

Multifunctionality of annual forage crop mixtures for improved biomass, beef cattle diets, and soil health outcomes

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Cover crop mixtures (CCMs) can fit well into various agricultural production systems and have gained popularity among grain and livestock producers, as well as organic and market gardeners across western Canada, due to their potential to enhance forage production and soil health.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
