Milk somatic cell count-derived traits as new indicators to monitor udder health in dairy buffaloes
Milk somatic cell count (SCC), an indicator of udder health and milk hygiene, has not been implemented either in milk payment systems or in the current selection index of Italian buffalo so far.

Somatic cell nuclear transfer [PDF]
Cloning by nuclear transfer from adult somatic cells is a remarkable demonstration of developmental plasticity. When a nucleus is placed in oocyte cytoplasm, the changes in chromatin structure that govern differentiation can be reversed, and the nucleus can be made to control development to term.

Flow cytometric analysis of somatic cells and oxidant/antioxidant profile in dairy cows with subclinical mastitis [PDF]
Flow cytometric analysis of somatic cells count (SCC) and oxidant/antioxidant status of cows with subclinical mastitis (SCM) were investigated in 75 lactating Holstein-Friesian cows (20 controls; 55 SCM cows).

The growing interest of consumers for milk and dairy products of high nutritional value has pushed researchers to evaluate the feasibility of including fatty acids (FA) in selection programs to modify milk fat profile and improve its nutritional quality.

Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer is dependent on compatible mitochondrial DNA and reprogramming factors [PDF]
Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) involves the transfer of a nucleus or cell from one species into the cytoplasm of an enucleated oocyte from another.

Reprogramming somatic cells into stem cells [PDF]
Abstract Recent scientific achievements in cell and developmental biology have provided unprecedented opportunities for advances in biomedical research. The demonstration that fully differentiated cells can reverse their gene expression profile to that of a pluripotent cell, and the successful derivation and culture of human embryonic

Genetic parameters for milk somatic cell score and relationships with production traits in primiparous dairy sheep [PDF]
A total of 13,066 first-lactation test-day records of 2,277 Valle del Belice ewes from 17 flocks were used to estimate genetic parameters for somatic cell scores (SCS) and milk production traits, using a repeatability test-day animal model.

Complex patterns of male germline instability and somatic mosaicism in myotonic dystrophy type 1 [PDF]
The genetic basis of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the expansion of a CTG repeat in the 3' untranslated region of DM1PK . Once into the disease range, the repeat becomes highly unstable and is biased toward expansion in both somatic and germline ...

Risk factors for high bulk milk somatic cell counts in dairy herds from Campos das Vertentes region, Minas Gerais State, Brazil: a case-control study [PDF]
: High bulk milk somatic cell counts (BMSCC) are indicative of failures related to the control of mastitis in the herd, which compromises the quality of the milk and generates great losses for the producers and for the industry.
