Pluripotent stem cells related to embryonic disc exhibit common self-renewal requirements in diverse livestock species (2021)
Journal Article

Despite four decades of effort, robust propagation of pluripotent stem cells from livestock animals remains challenging. The requirements for self-renewal are unclear and the relationship of cultured stem cells to pluripotent cells resident in the em...

Acute Imidacloprid Exposure Alters Mitochondrial Function in Bumblebee Flight Muscle and Brain (2021)
Journal Article

Mitochondria are intracellular organelles responsible for cellular respiration with one of their major roles in the production of energy in the form of ATP. Activities with increased energetic demand are especially dependent on efficient ATP producti...

Germline competent mesoderm: the substrate for vertebrate germline and somatic stem cells? (2021)
Journal Article

In vitro production of tissue-specific stem cells [e.g. haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)] is a key goal of regenerative medicine. However, recent efforts to produce fully functional tissue-specific stem cells have fallen short. One possible cause of...

Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy improves live birth rates with in vitro produced bovine embryos: A blind retrospective study (2021)
Journal Article

Approximately one million in vitro produced (IVP) cattle embryos are transferred world-wide each year as a way to improve the rates of genetic gain. The most advanced programmes also apply genomic selection at the embryonic stage by SNP genotyping an...

Strain comparisons in inhibitory discrimination learning and novel object recognition procedures (2021)
Journal Article

Strain differences in visual abilities and exploratory tendencies can confound rats’ performance in cognitive tests of learning and memory. In the present study we compared the performance of albino Wistar and pigmented Lister Hooded rats in appetiti...

Dolly at 25… is she '… still goin' strong?' (2021)
Journal Article

Nuclear transfer and the development of genetically modified/gene edited livestock (2021)
Journal Article

The birth and adult development of 'Dolly' the sheep, the first mammal produced by the transfer of a terminally differentiated cell nucleus into an egg, provided unequivocal evidence of nuclear equivalence among somatic cells. This ground-breaking ex... Read More about Nuclear transfer and the development of genetically modified/gene edited livestock.

Conserved features of non-primate bilaminar disc embryos and the germline (2021)
Journal Article

Post-implantation embryo development commences with a bilaminar disc in most mammals, including humans. Whereas access to early human embryos is limited and subject to greater ethical scrutiny, studies on non-primate embryos developing as bilaminar d...

In it together? The case for endocannabinoid–noradrenergic interactions in fear extinction (2021)
Journal Article

Anxiety and trauma-related disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), are debilitating mental illnesses with great personal and socioeconomic costs. Examining memory formation and relevant behavioural responding associated with aversiv... Read More about In it together? The case for endocannabinoid–noradrenergic interactions in fear extinction.

Telling their own stories: Encouraging veterinary students to ethically reflect (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Veterinary practice raises complex and unique professional ethical dilemmas. There is increasing discussion of how best to deliver ethics education to veterinary students, so that they are fully prepared to address ethical conflicts in pr...

Genetic selection aimed to reduce methane emissions and its effect on milk components (2021)
Journal Article

This study aimed to estimate the response to selection through different selection indices between methane production and milk production and its components in specialized tropical, dual-purpose, and family dairy systems. Methane emissions were sampl... Read More about Genetic selection aimed to reduce methane emissions and its effect on milk components.

Thiamethoxam exposure deregulates short ORF gene expression in the honey bee and compromises immune response to bacteria (2021)
Journal Article

© 2021, The Author(s). Maximizing crop yields relies on the use of agrochemicals to control insect pests. One of the most widely used classes of insecticides are neonicotinoids that interfere with signalling of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, but...

Evaluation of rumen protected rapeseed expeller (NovaPro) as an alternative to soya bean meal in dairy cow diets (2021)
Journal Article

There are environmental, social and economic pressures to reduce the use of soya bean meal in ruminant diets by using alternative protein sources, such as those derived from rapeseed. A new protected form of rapeseed (NovaPro) has been developed to p...

Inclusion of Wheat Dried Distillers’ Grains with Solubles from Bioethanol Plants in Diets for Dairy Cows (2021)
Journal Article

Dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) from bioethanol production can replace soya in diets for dairy cows, but optimum inclusion level of European wheat-DDGS (wDDGS) is unknown. Two batches of wDDGS from different UK bioethanol plants were fe... Read More about Inclusion of Wheat Dried Distillers’ Grains with Solubles from Bioethanol Plants in Diets for Dairy Cows.
