Protective effect of a polyvalent influenza DNA vaccine in pigs
(Elsevier, 2017-11-23)
Background: Influenza A virus in swine herds represents a major problem for the swine industry and poses a
constant threat for the emergence of novel pandemic viruses and the development of more effective ...
LC-MS/MS Detection of Karlotoxins Reveals New Variants in Strains of the Marine Dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum from the Ebro Delta (NW Mediterranean)
(MDPI, 2017-12-18)
A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the detection and quantitation of karlotoxins in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. This novel method was ...
Gain-of-function mutations in Aqp3a influence zebrafish pigment pattern formation through the tissue environment
(The Company of Biologists, 2017-06-01)
The development of the pigmentation pattern in zebrafish is a tightly regulated process that depends on both the self-organizing properties of pigment cells and extrinsic cues from other tissues. Many ...
Ontogeny and modulation after PAMPs stimulation of β-defensin, hepcidin, and piscidin antimicrobial peptides in meagre (Argyrosomus regius)
(Elsevier, 2017-08-24)
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), components of innate immunity, play an important role in protecting fish. In this study we report the molecular cloning of full open reading frames and characterization ...
Adult spawning and early larval development of the endangered bivalve Pinna nobilis
(Elsevier, 2017-10-16)
The development of aquaculture activities has posed an alternative solution for the preservation of some overexploited shellfish fisheries worldwide. In the same way, endemic Mediterranean bivalves such ...
Self-assembled monolayer-based immunoassays for okadaic acid detection in seawater as monitoring tools
(Elsevier, 2017-11-14)
Rapid and cost-effective methods to monitor the presence of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins in seawater samples in an easy and reliable manner are required to protect human health and avoid ...
SNP co-association and network analyses identify E2F3, KDM5A and BACH2 as key regulators of the bovine milk fatty acid profile
(Nature Research, 2017-12-11)
The fatty acid (FA) profle has a considerable impact on the nutritional and technological quality of milk
and dairy products. The molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of fat metabolism in ...
Temperature affects growth allometry and development patterns in brown trout (Salmo trutta) fry: a multitrait approach
(NRC Research Press, 2017-07-17)
To study the influence of temperature (4, 6, and 12 °C) on the development of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from hatching to the end of metamorphosis, an analysis of allometric growth patterns was conducted ...
Malignant infarction of the middle cerebral artery in a porcine model. A pilot study
(Public Library of Science, 2017-02-24)
Background and purpose. Interspecies variability and poor clinical translation from rodent studies indicate that large gyrencephalic animal stroke models are urgently needed. We present a proof-of-principle ...
Influence of pre-storage incubation on hatchability traits, thyroid hormones, antioxidative status and immunity of newly hatched chicks at two chicken breeder flock ages
(Elsevier, 2017-04-17)
Egg storage longer than 7 days is associated with negative effects on hatchability traits. Pre-storage incubation has been a suggested method to reduce the negative effects of long-term storage times ...
