Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analyses of the Liver and Ileum Identify Key Genes and Pathways Associated with Low and High Groups of Social Genetic Effect of Residual Feed Intake by Patrick Kofi Makafui Tecku, Zhenjian Zhao, Kai Wang, Xiang Ji, Dong Chen, Qi Shen, Yang Yu, Shengdi Cui, Junge Wang, Ziyang Chen, Jia Xue, Guoqing Tang

“…This study examined two pig groups with extreme SGE values for residual feed intake (RFI), analyzing their feeding behavior and the molecular mechanisms involved using transcriptomics and proteomics analysis of liver and ileum tissues. Pigs with higher SGE values exhibited distinct feeding patterns, spending more time at the feeder but making fewer visits. …”

Expansion of maltose/sucrose related transporters in Ascomycetes and their association with corresponding disaccharide utilization by Li Xu, Alessia Manassero, Berend Snel, Ronald P. de Vries, Mao Peng

“…In addition, growth profiles support that the utilization of maltose and sucrose across a diverse set of fungi is roughly determined by the presence of both corresponding STs and functionally related hydrolases. This study enhances our understanding of evolutional diversity of fungal STs and provides new insights into metabolic engineering of fungi towards more efficient conversion of plant-derived sugars for relevant industrial applications.…”

Influence of melanin and macrophage activation on hearing loss in SLC26A4 deficient mice. by Natsuki Aoki, Ayako Maruyama, Toru Miwa, Natsuko Kurata, Keiji Honda, Yoshiyuki Kawashima, Takeshi Tsutsumi, Taku Ito

“…Transcriptomic profiling showed no upregulation of melanogenesis-related genes, implying that melanin accumulation arises from impaired degradation rather than increased synthesis. Functional enrichment analysis highlighted dysregulation in proteolysis and phosphate metabolism, implicating metabolic stress and chronic inflammation in disease progression. …”

The Ethical Significance of Brain-Computer Interfaces as Enablers of Communication by Toma Gruica

“…The first treats them as medical devices warranting standard risk-benefit analysis, assessing safety, efficacy, and clinical outcomes.[2] The second framework situates BCIs within the emerging field of neuroethics, emphasizing concerns about privacy, cognitive liberty, data security, and the potential for manipulation.[3] Although previous work has already emphasized the ethical importance of BCIs in restoring communicative capacities, this paper develops the claim further by foregrounding what may be termed the ethical function of BCIs.[4] Their significance lies not just in enhancing particular interactions or reducing barriers, but in re-establishing the very possibility of communication, through which individuals assert their will, can participate in community, and be recognized as interlocutors. …”
