Article Synopsis
- * In a study, chickens fed a diet with 20% HSC showed better weight gain, feed efficiency, improved meat quality traits, and enhanced immune system functions compared to other groups.
- * Adding 20% HSC also positively affected blood lipid levels and metabolic processes, making it a beneficial ingredient for poultry feed.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers are focusing on finding new age-related biomarkers, especially through DNA damage, but existing methods haven't been precise enough for genome-wide studies.
- Two new techniques for mapping DNA damage at a detailed level were developed, allowing for a better understanding of single-strand breaks and abasic sites.
- Using a mouse model, the study found that genomic patterns of DNA damage can predict age more accurately than traditional transcriptome analysis, suggesting these patterns could be valuable for both practical applications and scientific research.
In the present study, mulberry branch-derived biochar CuO (MBC/CuO) composite was successfully synthesized and used as a catalyst to activate persulfate (PS) for the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). The MBC/CuO/PS system exhibited a high degradation efficiency (93%) of BPA, under the conditions of 0.1 g/L MBC/CuO, 1.

In this work, PVA/cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were used as composite substrate to fabricate ionic conductive hydrogels for strain sensor. Three types of characteristic crosslinks, including chemical crosslinking via boronic ester covalent bonds only, and with additional metal coordination bonding, as well as coexistence of physical crosslinks via PVA crystallites and aforementioned two kinds of chemical crosslinks, were constructed.

To explore the intrinsic factor causing crossed beaks, this study measured the length of bilateral mandibular ramus of affected birds, and investigated the genome-wide DNA methylation profiles of normal and affected sides of mandibular condyle. Results showed that the trait was caused by impaired development of unilateral mandibular ramus, which is extended through calcification of mandibular condyle.
