(Microbes and Infection, 2024-03)Severe Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) is characterized by massive infiltration of immune cells in lungs. MERS-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) replicates in vitro in human macrophages, inducing high ... -
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection in camelids
(Veterinary Pathology, 2022-01-08)Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is the cause of a severe respiratory disease with a high case fatality rate in humans. Since its emergence in mid-2012, 2578 laboratory-confirmed ... -
Milk fat globule membrane plus milk fat increase docosahexaenoic acid availability in infant formulas
(European Journal of Nutrition, 2022-10-25)Purpose Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) has components with emulsifier properties that could affect the provision of substrates to the brain. We evaluated the effects of MFGM plus milk fat addition ... -
Milk Protein-Based Edible Films: Influence on Mechanical, Hydrodynamic, Optical and Antioxidant Properties
(Coatings, 2022-02-02)Edible films are thin preformed layers that provide food protection against adverse envi‐ ronmental conditions. Despite milk proteins being functional ingredients that can provide interest‐ ing features ... -
Mitochondrial aquaporin-8-mediated hydrogen peroxide transport is essential for teleost spermatozoon motility
(Scientific Reports, 2015-01-14)Reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cause oxidative cell damage and inhibit sperm function. In most oviparous fishes that spawn in seawater (SW), spermatozoa may be ... -
Mixed management in growing and finishing pigs: Differences between gender and their impacts on behavior, growth performance, and physiological parameters
(PLoS ONE, 2023-04-13)Mixing, a common management strategy used to regroup pigs, has been reported to impair individual performance and affect pig welfare because of the establishment of a new social hierarchy after regrouping. ... -
Mixtures of prion substrains in natural scrapie cases revealed by ovinised murine models
(Scientific Reports, 2020-03-19)Phenotypic variability in prion diseases, such as scrapie, is associated to the existence of prion strains, which are different pathogenic prion protein (PrPSc) conformations with distinct pathobiological ... -
MLVA subtyping of Listeria monocytogenes isolates from meat products and meat processing plants
(Elsevier, 2017-12-22)Listeria monocytogenes is widely distributed in meat products and the meat-processing industry thus posing a risk to consumers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of the multilocus ... -
Modeling and designing a Listeria monocytogenes control strategy for dry-cured ham taking advantage of water activity and storage temperature
(Meat Science, 2020-03-21)Dry-cured ham is a shelf-stable product that can be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes due to post-processing operations, compromising the compliance of zero tolerance policies (e.g. US Listeria ... -
Modeling ecotoxicity impacts in vineyard production: Addressing spatial differentiation for copper fungicides
(Science of the Total Environment, 2017-10-28)Application of plant protection products (PPP) is a fundamental practice for viticulture. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has proved to be a useful tool to assess the environmental performance of agricultural ... -
Modeling heat stress under organic dairy farming conditions in warm temperate climates within the Mediterranean basin
(Climatic Change, 2020-08-25)We studied the effect of heat stress on milk quality in Spanish organic dairy farms using published milk productivity equations. We collected data from 23 weather stations and 14,424 milk test-days ... -
Modeling impacts of climate change on the water needs and growing cycle of crops in three Mediterranean basins
(Agricultural Water Management, 2021-02-20)In this study, the suitability of major crops currently growing in three case study basins in Catalonia (NE Spain) was assessed for the first half of the 21st century. For this purpose, an estimation ... -
Modeling microRNA-driven post-transcriptional regulation using exon–intron split analysis in pigs
