Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between the cuticle layer on eggshells and the oviposition interval (time between egg-laying) in White Leghorn hens, testing the hypothesis that longer intervals allow for more cuticle deposition.
  • Data from 2140 eggs collected from five pure lines revealed significant differences in the oviposition time and interval, with intervals slightly over 24 hours varying by line.
  • Results showed a small positive correlation between cuticle deposition and oviposition interval, suggesting hens that took longer between laying eggs had slightly more cuticle, although overall heritability for cuticle deposition was moderate and intervals did not show a measurable heritable factor.

Article Synopsis
  • * The process involves integrating various internal and external data sources, which complicates the task; thus, institutions are moving toward automating and digitizing these processes to save time and reduce manual effort.
  • * The paper discusses findings from a detailed literature review on MTBs, focusing on their operational processes, common knowledge bases, and the digital tools that aid in making treatment decisions.

Peptides are well known for forming nanoparticles, while DNA duplexes, triplexes and tetraplexes create rigid nanostructures. Accordingly, the covalent conjugation of peptides to DNA/RNA produces hybrid self-assembling features and may lead to interesting nano-assemblies distinct from those of their individual components. Herein, we report the preparation of a collagen mimetic peptide incorporating lysine in its backbone, with alkylamino side chains radially conjugated with G-rich PNA [collagen-(PNA-GGG)].

Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver is a rare mesenchymal malignancy that predominantly occurs in children. The relationship between this tumor entity and germline pathogenic variants (PVs) remains undefined. Here, we present the clinical case of a male patient diagnosed with undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver.

1. The aim of this work was to identify a heritable keel bone phenotype with a correlation to keel bone damage and/or skeletal bone strength that could be easily measured in the living hen to aid selection to prevent welfare issues.2.
