Effects of Progressive Replacement of Corn Stover with Condensed Tannin-Containing Woody Biomass on Growth Performance and Reproductive Development of Prospective Breeding Ram Lambs

This study determined the level at which corn stover (CS) could be progressively replaced with condensed tannin-containing woody biomass (CTWB) from Quercus rugosa without compromising dietary acceptance, growth, energy utilization, or reproductive development in prospective bree...

Immune-Related Transcript Abundance and Survival of Penaeus vannamei Treated with an Acid Hydrolysate from WSSV-Infected Shrimp

This study characterized acid hydrolysates prepared from WSSV-infected (HS-WSSV) and non-infected (HS-noWSSV) Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei Boone, 1931 muscle and evaluated immune-related transcript abundance and survival following WSSV challenge. Hydrolysates were maintained at...

Osmotic potential and relative calcium proportion interact to determine fruit structural integrity in blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

Calcium (Ca²⁺) is essential for the structural integrity and quality of blueberries; however, its accumulation in developing tissues is constrained by limited phloem mobility. This study evaluated the effects of nutrient-solution osmotic potential (Ψ o ) and relative Ca²⁺ proport...

Reproductive traits, sex‐specific reproductive investment and gonadal dynamics in a spawning surgeonfish

Abstract The razor surgeonfish Prionurus laticlavius is a key herbivore in Eastern Pacific reef communities. This study provides a sex‐specific assessment of its reproductive traits, size at maturity and energetic dynamics in the Gulf of California by integrating biometric indica...

Measurements of the production of W$$^{\pm }$$ and Z$$^0$$ bosons in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ TeV

Abstract Measurements of the production of the W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons at midrapidity in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ s = 13 TeV with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. The W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons are detected via their (di)e...

Design, synthesis, drug-likeness, and molecular dynamics evaluations of monobrominated amathamide G analogs as potential ligands for D2-like dopamine receptors

Abstract Dopamine receptors (DRs) are key modulators of physiological and behavioral responses in the central nervous system (CNS), playing a major role in psychotic disorders. Among these, the D2-like members D2R, D3R and D4R are particularly attractive therapeutic targets for t...

Impact of anthropogenic activities on the microplastic pollution status of an urbanized wetland

Due to their environmental ubiquity, persistence, and potential effects on living organisms, microplastic pollution has become a global concern. Urban wetlands, catchment basins within cities, are one of the final sinks of these pollutants. We studied the occurrence, abundance, d...

A network-driven antiviral discovery pipeline for emerging RNA viruses: a critical perspective from the Red Mexicana de Desarrollo de Antivirales (RMDA)

INTRODUCTION: RNA viruses impose a disproportionate burden of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases in Latin America, yet antiviral discovery in the region remains fragmented, target-limited, and frequently disconnected from translational pathways. This perspective discusse...

Ultrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Processing of Grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens): Comparative Assessment and Characterization of Protein Hydrolysates

The increasing demand for sustainable protein sources has stimulated interest in edible insects such as the Mexican grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens). This study evaluated grasshopper flour as a substrate for producing protein hydrolysates by ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hyd...

Salivary Cobalt, Nickel, Chromium and Titanium After Fixed Orthodontic Appliance Removal: A 3-Month Pilot Longitudinal Study

Objective: Our objective was to determine the salivary levels of cobalt, nickel, chromium, and titanium ions at the end of fixed orthodontic treatment and during the post-removal period (1 and 3 months after removal of the fixed appliance). Methods: This pilot longitudinal study...
