Article Synopsis
  • Milk oligosaccharides are complex carbs that support gut health, immune system development, and disease protection by promoting beneficial bacteria.
  • A study analyzed oligosaccharide profiles from Holstein, Ayrshire, and endangered Northern Finncattle breeds, revealing differences in composition and abundance among them.
  • Ayrshire had the highest fucosylated oligosaccharides, while Northern Finncattle's unique sialylated content is valuable, making Ayrshire a promising option for enhancing gut health diversity in consumers.

Dynamic interactions between transcription factors govern changes in gene expression that mediate changes in cell state accompanying injury response and regeneration. Transcription factors frequently function as obligate dimers whose activity is often modulated by post-translational modifications. These critical and often transient interactions are not easily detected by traditional methods to investigate protein-protein interactions.

Isolation of extracellular vesicles (EV) has been developing rapidly in parallel with the interest in EVs. However, commonly utilized protocols may not suit more challenging sample matrixes and could potentially yield suboptimal results. Knowing and assessing the pitfalls of isolation procedure to be used, should be involved to some extent for EV analytics.

Purpose: The anisotropy of R and R relaxation rates in articular cartilage contains information about the collagenous structure of the tissue. Here we determine and study the anisotropic and isotropic components of T and T relaxation parameters in articular cartilage with a clinical 3T MRI device. Furthermore, a visual representation of the topographical variation in anisotropy is given via anisotropy mapping.

The effects of grass silage and red clover silage on milk fatty acid (FA) composition are extensively studied, but little is known of their effects on minor lipid constituents of milk fat globule membrane. We investigated the effects of forage:concentrate (FC) ratio in grass silage-based diets and forage type (grass silage vs. red clover silage) on selected molecular species of milk phospholipids (PL) and the FA composition of PL.
