Field-based soil extractions capture more amino acids that are lost during short-term storage by Scott Buckley, Sandra Jämtgård

“…We found that negatively-charged and polar amino acid concentrations were most affected by storage – but the magnitude of loss of most amino acids was generally similar. Hydrolytic enzyme activity was correlated with total protein concentrations across all sites, this association was strongest in June, but was correlated equally with both lab and field extractions. …”

Modular architecture confers robustness to damage and facilitates recovery in spiking neural networks modeling in vitro neurons by Takuma Sumi, Akke Mats Houben, Akke Mats Houben, Hideaki Yamamoto, Hideaki Yamamoto, Hideyuki Kato, Yuichi Katori, Yuichi Katori, Jordi Soriano, Jordi Soriano, Ayumi Hirano-Iwata, Ayumi Hirano-Iwata

“…We observed that the in silico numerical model effectively captured the decline and subsequent recovery of spontaneous activity following the injury. The model supports that the combination of modularity and plasticity confers robustness to the damaged neuronal network by preventing the total loss of spontaneous network-wide activity and facilitating recovery. …”

“…Although both SVF and hASCs were able to significantly reduce the clinical and histological parameters of HTS, hASCs appeared to be more efficient than SVF. The therapeutic effect of hASCs was attributed to higher expression of TGFβ3 and HGF, which are important anti-fibrotic mediators, and to higher levels of MMP-2 and MMP-2/TIMP-2 ratio, which reflect the remodelling activity responsible for fibrosis resorption. …”

Lycopene in Feed as Antioxidant and Immuno-Modulator Improves Broiler Chicken’s Performance under Heat-Stress Conditions by Dalila Fadhila Hidayat, Mohamad Yusril Nur Mahendra, Juriah Kamaludeen, Herinda Pertiwi

“…Lycopene is a lipophilic substance that can act as either a prooxidant or a free radical scavenger and is particularly efficient in enhancing broiler performance. Furthermore, lycopene can alleviate heat stress by improving the activity of various antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and catalase (CAT), as well as increasing the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and nuclear muscle factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), while simultaneously reducing the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and muscle Keap1 expression. …”
