Purpose To investigate the protein profile of bovine amniotic membranes (bAM) and to determine putative associations between protein composition in bAM and known corneal healing pathways. Methods The bAM were acquired from normal full-term births ( n = 10), processed, and stored at −80°C for two days. Subsequently, the frozen membranes were thawed ...

Pooling individual samples prior to DNA extraction can mitigate the cost of DNA extraction and genotyping; however, these methods need to accurately generate equal representation of individuals within pools. The objective of this study was to determine accuracy of pool construction of blood samples based on white blood cell counts compared to two c...

Galectins (GAL) are animal lectins that play important roles in the immune response through regulation of homeostasis and immune function. Bioactive polyphenols are able to bind and regulate galectins in inflammatory diseases. Cowpea is a nutritious and polyphenol-rich legume used as feed. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of co...

Embryonic lipids are crucial for the formation of cellular membranes and dynamically participate in metabolic pathways. Cells can synthesize simple fatty acids, and the elongation of fatty acids facilitates the formation of complex lipids. The aim of this work was to investigate the involvement of the elongation of very long chain fatty acid enzyme...

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease of great animal welfare and economic implications worldwide known since ancient times. The emergence of brucellosis in new areas as well as transmission of brucellosis from wild and domestic animals is of great significance in terms of new epidemiological dimensions. Brucellosis poses a major public health threat b...

Prevention of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in healthcare workers (HCWs) facing the current COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge worldwide as HCWs are likely to experience acute and chronic, often unpredictable, occupational stressors leading to PTSS. This review aims to analyze the literature to discover which topics have been focused on and w...

Simple Summary In dairy herds, twin pregnancies considerably compromise cow welfare, reducing their lifespan and leading to the increased use of antibiotics postpartum. In cows with follicles of pre-ovulatory size at insemination, twins can be avoided by puncturing and draining one follicle. In this report, we propose the use of a recently describe...

Simple Summary While cows usually give birth to singletons, the incidence of twin births has increased considerably during the past few decades alongside milk production. In most cases, multiple pregnancies arise from the simultaneous formation of two or more ovulatory follicles in either the same ovary or both ovaries. Twin pregnancies have devast...

The level of muscle development in livestock directly affects the production efficiency of livestock, and the contents of intramuscular fat (IMF) is an important factor that affects meat quality. However, the molecular mechanisms through which circular RNA (circRNA) affects muscle and IMF development remains largely unknown. In this study, we isola...

The presence of cellular fragments in the perivitelline space is a commonly used parameter to determine quality before transfer of in vitro produced (IVP) embryos. However, this parameter is difficult to assess after blastocyst expansion. In this study, we used mechanical hatching to confirm the presence of cellular fragments in the perivitelline s...
