Foodborne illnesses, particularly those caused by Salmonella spp., represent a major global health concern, with S. typhimurium being a significant contributor to outbreaks. The persistence of S. typhimurium in food production environments and its resistance to conventional disinfectants highlight the need for alternative antimicrobial solutions. Essential oils (EOs) from Eucalyptus globulus (EGEO) and Cymbopogon flexuosus (CF...
First Report of Mansonella sp. Microfilariae in Sapajus nigritus: Insights into the Host-Parasite RelationshipNARA Subscribed
Primates can share parasites with humans, and understanding host-parasite interactions is essential for evaluating the condition of wild primates, ecological dynamics, and One Health interface, which integrates humans, animal, and environmental health in shared environments. One example is filarial nematodes of the genus Mansonella , for which a lack of in-depth studies of symptoms or blood alterations limits our understanding...
Population‐specific bycatch risks in two vulnerable anadromous clupeids: Insights from otolith microchemistryNARA Subscribed
Otolith microchemistry analysis revealed that bycatch of European shads, allis shad Alosa alosa and twaite shad Alosa fallax , in western Iberian commercial fisheries removes individuals from a wide array of natal origins, with the most abundant source rivers suffering the heaviest losses. Spatial variation in bycatch risk was evident: Specific marine areas exhibited high natal origin diversity, reflecting complex dispersal. A...
This study evaluated the physiological, metabolic and oxidative responses of Colossoma macropomum subjected to air exposure when maintained in water at suboptimal temperature (23°C). A total of 54 fish (81.33 ± 11.90 g) were distributed into nine tanks (6 fish per tank). For the air exposure test, 24 animals were exposed for 30 min and another 24 animals for 60 min. Six fish from each group were sampled immediately after expos...
Purpose of review Pome fruits, particularly apples and pears, are widely consumed worldwide and have long been associated with health-promoting properties. This review aims to provide an updated overview of the major bioactive compounds present in pome fruits and their by-products, focusing on bioavailability, mechanistic pathways, and evidence supporting their role in chronic disease prevention. Recent findings Recent researc...
Integration of Multi-Omics Data To Understand the Multifaceted Role of RAMP1 across Different Cancer TypesNARA Subscribed
Receptor Activity-Modifying Protein 1 (RAMP1) is a Calcitonin Receptor-Like Receptor (CALCRL)-associated protein with significant relevance in oncogenesis and tumor progression. It acts as a context-dependent allosteric modulator of GPCRs. This integrative review synthesizes evidence from multiple omics layers—transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, and pan-cancer datasets—to clarify the role of RAMP1, its signaling pathways...
Peripheral microRNA signature in genetic frontotemporal dementia—findings from the GENFI initiativeNARA Subscribed
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by significant clinical and genetic heterogeneity, with approximately 40% of cases linked to hereditary genetic mutations, including MAPT , GRN , and C9ORF72 . Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of cellular processes related to neurodegeneration and as potential biomarkers for FTD. However, their relevance in presymptomatic stag...
Nutritional and metabolic responses of sheep fed banana leaf hay treated with sodium hydroxideNARA Subscribed
Our objective was to evaluate the impacts of the treatment of banana leaf hay with levels of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) on intake, digestibility, feeding behavior, and blood parameters of sheep. Five ½ Santa Ines × Dorper sheep with body weight of 38.43 ± 4.38 kg were used in a Latin square design. Treatments were based on levels of NaOH in banana leaf hay, as follows: 0; 1.25; 2.5; 3.75 and 5%. Overall, the intakes of dry matter...
Circular and Sustainable Business Model Innovation: Formulating an Integrated Concept Through A Systematic Literature ReviewNARA Subscribed
Despite the significant growth in research on the triad of Circular Economy (CE), Innovation, and Sustainable Business Models (SBMs), theoretical fragmentation persists due to the lack of holistic conceptual integration, resulting in a heterogeneous framework that is difficult to apply in practice. Given this scenario, this study aimed to identify, categorize, and systematize the state of the art of Circular Economy, Innovatio...
Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership of scientists and practitioners called the Shorebird Science and Conservation Collec...
