Evaluating blue fish alternatives to European sardines: Physiological condition, reproductive state and market potential of horse mackerel, mackerel and round sardinella
The European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) faces several challenges, such as the need to regulate fishing pressure to ensure the long-term sustainability of the resource. Its decline highlights the need to consider alternative ...
Tracking Age-Linked Antibiotic Resistance Patterns through Building-Level Wastewater Analysis
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health challenge, and monitoring different demographic populations can improve our understanding of its spread and prevalence in urban settlements. This study applies building-level ...
Red LED light irradiation increases the resistance against environmental stress of frozen bovine sperm thawed in suboptimal conditions
This work sought to test the positive effect of red LED light on frozen bovine sperm resistance to thawing in suboptimal conditions. Moreover, a preliminary study explores whether this improvement could have any repercussions ...
Genome sequencing and analysis of black flounder (Paralichthys orbignyanus) reveals new insights into Pleuronectiformes genomic size and structure
Black flounder (Paralichthys orbignyanus, Pleuronectiformes) is a commercially significant marine fish with promising aquaculture potential in Argentina. Despite extensive studies on Black flounder aquaculture, its limited ...
Intracranial self-stimulation mitigates spatial task deficits, modifies miR-146a and miR-495 serum levels and restores hippocampal NRF2 levels in a rat model of sporadic Alzheimer's disease
INTRODUCTION: A definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires the identification of pathological changes. Plasma miRNAs have emerged as potential AD diagnostic biomarkers. METHODS: Amatched case-control study ...
The multiomics blueprint of the individual with the most extreme lifespan
Extreme human lifespan, exemplified by supercentenarians, presents a paradox in understanding aging: despite advanced age, they maintain relatively good health. To investigate this duality, we have performed a high-throughput ...
Blastocoel fluid aspiration improves vitrification outcomes and produces similar sexing results of in vitro-produced cattle embryos compared to microblade biopsy
The potential applications of in vitro-produced (IVP) cattle embryos are significantly enhanced when combined with genotype selection and cryopreservation techniques. While trophectoderm (TE) biopsies are frequently used ...
Editorial: Mucosal immunity after vaccination
The mucosal immune system is the largest immunological interface with the environment in our body. On the one hand, it contributes to the preservation of commensal microbiota by several mechanisms such production of secretory ...
Acinetobacter baumannii as a Model for the Study and Application of Gram-negative Outer Membrane Vesicles: A Systematic Review
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are extracellular nanostructures released from Gram-negative bacteria. Acinetobacter baumannii OMVs (AbOMVs) have been extensively studied and can thus be used as a model for understanding ...
Identification of a Differential Microbiological Signature of Extended‐Spectrum ß‐Lactamases Producing Escherichia Carriers in Spanish Community Children
Gut colonization by Extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E), is increasing among nonhospitalized children, but the impact of ESBL-E carriage on the intestinal microbiota remains unknown. In this ...
Luminescent cyclometalated platinum compounds with N, P, and O^O ligands: Density-functional theory studies and analysis of the anticancer potential
Luminescent platinum cyclometalated complexes are species of interest mainly due to their applications in the optoelectronic and biological fields, especially with regard to their anticancer activity. Given this level of ...
Ru-terpyridine complexes containing clotrimazole as potent photoactivatable selective antifungal agents
The overuse of antimicrobial agents in medical and veterinary applications has led to the development of antimicrobial resistance in some microorganisms and this is now one of the major concerns in modern society. In this ...
Phenotypic plasticity in the health status of western Mediterranean sardines. Estimation of spawning quantity and quality
The European sardine exhibits drastic changes in body condition, growth, and reproduction outputs with fluctuating environments, leading to trade-offs in life history traits. This study aimed to compare the health status ...
Environmental contamination and male reproductive health: (ir)reversible effects in child- and adulthood
Infertility affects 10-15% of reproductive-age couples, with causes ranging from genetic factors to unidentified reasons. Environmental conditions, particularly pollutants, play a significant role in male fertility. Yet, ...
Decoding a novel non-enzymatic protein acetylation mechanism in sperm that is essential for fertilizing potential
Background: Protein acetylation has emerged as essential for sperm function, attracting considerable attention recently. Acetylation, typically mediated by lysine acetyltransferases, involves attaching an acetyl group from ...
Protective role of extracellular vesicles against oxidative DNA damage
Background: Oxidative stress, a source of genotoxic damage, is often the underlying mechanism in many functional cell disorders. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been shown to be key regulators of cellular processes and ...
Redox profiling of preovulatory follicular fluid in the donkey is species-specific, and contributes to modulate sperm function
The follicular fluid (FF) is crucial for providing oocytes with an ideal environment that promotes their development and maturation. Not only does this fluid supply nutrients and hormones, but also other components that ...
Isolation and characterization of extracellular vesicle subsets in donkey seminal plasma
Seminal plasma (SP), a fluid composed of secretions from the male genital tract, is rich in seminal extracellular vesicles (sEVs), nano-sized particles surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane and loaded with functionally ...
Usefulness of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry in the Characterization of Leishmania Strains Causing Tegumentary Leishmaniasis in Bolivia versus hsp70 Gene Sequencing
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a proteomic technique with proven efficiency in the identification of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites. ...
The Sarcoplasmic/Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) is present in pig sperm and modulates their physiology over liquid preservation
Liquid storage is the primary preservation method in the swine breeding industry because of its advantages over cryopreservation. Calcium (Ca2+), a key regulator of cell physiology, plays a crucial role during liquid ...
