(MDPI, 2021-03-08)
Neurotrophins constitute a group of growth factor that exerts important functions in the nervous system of vertebrates. They act through two classes of transmembrane receptors: tyrosine-kinase receptors ...
Five genomic regions have a major impact on fat composition in Iberian pigs
(Nature Research, 2019-02-14)
The adipogenic nature of the Iberian pig defines many quality attributes of its fresh meat and dry-cured products. The distinct varieties of Iberian pig exhibit great variability in the genetic parameters ...
A simple method to estimate the number of doses to include in a bank of vaccines. The case of Lumpy Skin Disease in France
(Public Library of Science, 2019-01-25)
A simple method to estimate the size of the vaccine bank needed to control an epidemic of an exotic infectious disease in case of introduction into a country is presented. The method was applied to the ...

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 ...
