A homozygous calf with CACNA1S-related muscle weakness, a new autosomal recessive congenital disorder in Holstein cattle, was identified by genotyping 195 stored blood samples from Holstein calves aged less than 12 months. The patient was an 8-day-old male calf with congenital astasia which presented to a university hospital in 2019. The patient was unable to maintain an upright position with assistance to stand.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a multifactorial regulator involved in many biological responses. Alternative splicing of STAT3 pre-mRNA leads to an internal 50-nucleotide deletion of exon 23 selecting an alternative 3' acceptor site, resulting in the generation of two splicing isoforms, STAT3α and STAT3β. STAT3β lacks 55 amino acid-residue transactivation domain at the C-terminal of STAT3α replacing seven unique amino acids.

Phosphatidylcholine (PC), a key phospholipid, contains 2 fatty acids that can be bound at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, resulting in positional isomers when different fatty acids are attached. Currently, there is no established method for identifying phospholipid molecular species and quantifying individual isomers using authentic standards of each PC isomer. In this study, we prepare authentic analytical standards for PC positional isomers through chemical synthesis and preparative purification.

In this work, with parathion, a typical forbidden organophosphate pesticide as target drug, an enhanced nanobody-driven bioluminescent immunoassay based on the engineered split-nanoluciferase (NanoLuc) was proposed. Concretely, through labeling 11S and β10, two split-NanoLuc units onto the anti-parathion nanobody (Nb) VHH9 and the artificial antigen H1 coupled with carrier protein ovalbumin (H1-OVA) respectively, an NanoLuc Binary Technology (NanoBiT) system was firstly developed in the form of homogeneous immunoassay, in which the luminescence signal was produced by the reassembled NanoLuc after the combination of the 11S-fused VHH9 and β10-labeled H1-OVA. Subsequently, in order to enhance the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, a novel strategy of splitting 11S into two smaller subunits Δ11S and β9 was adopted so then an NanoLuc Ternary Technology (NanoTeT) system based on tri-part components of β9-fused VHH9, β10-labeled H1-OVA and Δ11S was successfully established.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a therapeutic modality for treating neonatal calf diarrhea. Several practical barriers, including donor selection, fecal collection, and a limited timeframe for FMT, are the main constraints to using fresh feces for implementing on-farm FMT. We report the utility of FMT with pretreated ready-to-use frozen (F) or freeze-dried (FD) microorganisms for treating calf diarrhea.

High-solid anaerobic digestion (HSAD) is a promising technology for treating livestock manure and agricultural waste; however, the wide application has been limited due to homogenization problems. This study established a novel HSAD system by integrating liquid and biogas recirculation (R), aiming to enhance the biogas conversion efficiency of high-solid substrates at low costs. Results showed that the highest methane yield was 357 mL/gVS in the novel HSAD system (R), 30.

The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is a novel poultry species that produces meat, eggs, and fat. Although emus have recently been domesticated, genetic improvements to establish strains have scarcely progressed. In this study, we investigated the relationship between production traits and perilipin 1-encoding gene (PLIN1) polymorphisms in the emus.

Embryo culture is crucial to achieve successful outcomes in in vitro production-embryo transfer for cattle. This study explored the innovative use of dry incubators for bovine embryo culture, building on their advantages in human medicine, such as reduced contamination risk, stable temperature control, and lower gas consumption. In this study, we examined changes in osmotic pressure, the in vitro developmental potential of IVP embryos including the cleavage rate, blastocyst development rate, blastocyst diameter, and blastocyst cell number, morphokinetics, and the transcriptional profile of the blastocysts between humidified and dry incubators.

Protein phosphatase 2AB'' (PP2A B'') family subunits have calcium-binding EF-hand motifs, facilitating interaction with PP2A substrates. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the PP2A B'' family subunits consist of six members, AtB''α-ε and FASS. These subunits can interact with a basic leucine zipper transcription factor, VIP1, and its close homologs.

This study aimed to reveal individual differences between the speeds of the hand and ball and clarify the factors affecting those differences. Motion data from 20 highly skilled baseball pitchers, captured using a 16-camera motion analysis system with a sampling frequency of 1,000 hz, were used for correlation and hierarchical linear model analyses. For the hierarchical linear models, the speed of the metacarpophalangeal joint was the independent variable in the 1 level.

Gardenia blue (GB), a widely used plant-derived food color is prepared by reaction of genipin, the aglycone of geniposide, with protein hydrolysate. Recent animal studies investigating GB toxicity have indicated blue coloration in the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and mesenteric lymph nodes in rodents following dietary administration. This study investigated the uptake and disposition of [C]GB in male and female rats and mice administered 100 or 1000 mg/kg by gavage.

Predation, a major cause of natural selection, is classically thought to target the weak and sick. However, predators can target animals with condition-dependent sexual traits, and therefore, high-quality individuals can also be the focus of predation. Thus, it is not always clear which individuals are the foci of predators or how this affects trait evolution.

A spherical green alga, , achieves phototaxis via a simple on/off switch of flagellar beating in response to changes in light intensity, without the need for complex signal transduction between cells. Moreover, the alga can change its susceptibility to light in order to adapt to its environment. To identify the mechanisms of susceptibility regulation, experiments were conducted at three different levels: population, individual, and cellular.

Unlabelled: This article analyzes the global impacts of extractivism on human-nature bonds. To do so, we rely on socio-ecological conflict data from the Global Atlas of Environmental Justice. Over 1800 cases involving resistance to the destruction of nature, cultures, cosmologies, worldviews, ancestral origins, and sacred places are analyzed using log-linear regression compared to 1600 cases that do not report such loss.

The increase in the global population is leading to a doubling of the demand for protein. Soybean (), a key contributor to global plant-based protein supplies, requires ongoing yield enhancements to keep pace with increasing demand. Precise, on-plant seed counting and localization may catalyze breeding selection of shoot architectures and seed localization patterns related to superior performance in high planting density and contribute to increased yield.

Biological membranes, primarily composed of phospholipid bilayers, are essential structures that compartmentalize the cell from the extracellular environment. The biosynthesis and regulation of membrane lipids have been extensively studied in model organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammalian cells. However, our understanding of biological membrane regulation in filamentous fungi, some of which are significant in medicine, pharmacy, and agriculture, remains limited.
