Impact of artificial stocking and its intensity on genetic diversity, genetic structure, and effective number of breeders in masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou

Artificial stocking, an important tool in fishery resource enhancement and wildlife management, exerts negative effects on wild conspecifics. However, the factors determining the magnitude of these effects remain unclear. Here, we investigated how stocking influences genetic dive...

Dual inhibition of PLK1 and CDK1/2 selectively suppresses the growth of canine squamous cell carcinoma cell lines with truncating TP53 mutations

Abstract Background Canine squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remains a clinically challenging malignancy with limited therapeutic options for advanced or non-resectable cases. In this study, canine SCC cell lines harboring truncating TP53 mutations were identified, and TP53-associate...

Housing environments link egg taste through metabolic alterations in laying hens

Farm animal welfare is increasingly recognized as a core component in sustainable protein production. The transition to welfare-friendly housing systems—such as from cage to cage-free systems for laying hens—promotes the expression of motivated behaviors by providing greater spac...

Breed‐Specific Relationship Between Rebound Tonometers ( TonoVet and TonoVet Plus) in Labrador Retrievers

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to characterize the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained using two rebound tonometers (TonoVet and TonoVet Plus) in Labrador retrievers and to evaluate a regression‐based approximation for supporting longitudina...
