Coordinated One Health investigation and management of outbreaks in humans and animals caused by zoonotic avian influenza viruses by Theresa Enkirch, Andrea Gervelmeyer, Luisa Hallmaier‐Wacker, Angeliki Melidou, Katriina Willgert

“…Three scenarios are triggered by suspected outbreaks in animals, including kept animals of listed species, non‐listed species, companion animals and wild birds/mammals. The other two scenarios are initiated by a probable human case or detection of the virus in wastewater or environmental samples (e.g. surface water or other sources). …”

Prenatal exposure to nitrate alters uterine morphology and gene expression in adult female F1 generation rats by André Gilberto Cassiani, Thiago Pinheiro Arrais Aloia, Érica Kássia Sousa-Vidal, Sérgio Podgaec, Carla de Azevedo Piccinato, Caroline Serrano-Nascimento

“…Previous studies have shown that nitrate disrupts the reproductive system in aquatic animals, but no study has evaluated the impact of nitrate exposure on the uterus in mammals. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of maternal exposure to nitrate during the prenatal period on uterine morphology and gene expression in adult female F1 rats. …”

Increased cardiac myosin super-relaxation as an energy saving mechanism in hibernating grizzly bears by Robbert J. Van der Pijl, Weikang Ma, Christopher T.A. Lewis, Line Haar, Amalie Buhl, Gerrie P. Farman, Marcus Rhodehamel, Vivek P. Jani, O Lynne Nelson, Chengxin Zhang, Henk Granzier, Julien Ochala

“…Aim: The aim of the present study was to define whether cardiac myosin contributes to energy conservation in the heart of hibernating mammals. Methods: Thin cardiac strips were isolated from the left ventricles of active and hibernating grizzly bears; and subjected to loaded Mant-ATP chase assays, X-ray diffraction and proteomics. …”

Divergent Effects of <i>Circoviridae</i> Capsid Proteins on Type I Interferon Signaling by Anon H. Kosaka, Chen-Yu Huang, Zih-Ying Lu, Hua-Zhen Hsing, Amonrat Choonnasard, Rissar Siringo Ringo, Kuo Pin Chuang, Akatsuki Saito

“…Viruses in the <i>Circoviridae</i> family can infect mammals and birds. Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) significantly affects the livestock industry by causing porcine circovirus-associated diseases, such as postweaning multisystem wasting syndrome, respiratory disease complex, and dermatitis nephropathy syndrome. …”

Genomic and Computational Analysis of Novel SNPs in TNP1 Gene Promoter Region of Bos indicus Breeding Bulls by Kashif Hameed Anjum, Asif Nadeem, Maryam Javed, Hafiz Ishfaq Ahmad, Amjad Riaz, Wasim Shehzad, Jahanzaib Azhar, Muhammad Fahad Bhutta

“…One such gene belonging to the TNP family called TNP1 gene is abundantly expressed in the regulation of spermatogenesis, and its sequence is remarkably well conserved among mammals. Genomic analysis, by sequencing and computational approach, was used to identify the novel polymorphisms and to evaluate the molecular regulation of TNP1 gene expression in Sahiwal cattle breeding bulls. …”

Neuroinflammation as Fuel for Axonal Regeneration in the Injured Vertebrate Central Nervous System by Ilse Bollaerts, Jessie Van houcke, Lien Andries, Lies De Groef, Lieve Moons

“…Lastly, we shed light on the impact of aging processes on the regenerative capacity in the CNS of mammals and zebrafish. As aging not only affects the CNS, but also the immune system, the regeneration potential is expected to further decline in aged individuals, an element that should definitely be considered in the search for novel therapeutic strategies.…”

Disruption of the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Blunts a Time of Day-Dependent Variation in Systemic Anaphylactic Reaction in Mice by Yuki Nakamura, Kayoko Ishimaru, Yu Tahara, Shigenobu Shibata, Atsuhito Nakao

“…Here we report that the circadian clock may be an important regulator of anaphylaxis. In mammals, the central clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus synchronizes and entrains peripheral circadian clock present in virtually all cell types via neural and endocrine pathways, thereby driving the daily rhythms in behavior and physiology. …”
