Investigation of spermatozoal metabolism and substrate utilization in domestic and non-domestic felids
(2015)
Cryopreservation of spermatozoa is a critical aspect of assisted reproduction. However in most cases, this process causes diminished spermatozoal function and low cellular survival. The effects of cryopreservation are ...
Population Declines and Genetic Variation: Effects of Serial Bottlenecks
(2015)
Islands foster unique biodiversity, yet also present biogeographic limitations that impose increased risk for population extinction through demographic and genetic constraints and decreased probability of surviving a ...
The impact of dietary ions on rumen ion concentrations
(2015)
Dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) evaluates the strong ion balance in dairy cattle diets. We performed two experiments to study the impacts of strong dietary ions (Na, K, and Cl) on the rumen environment. Our overall ...
In Vitro Study of an Orange Oil Derived Alternative to Antibiotics in the Treatment of Bovine Mastitis
(2015)
Bovine mastitis is a costly disease in the U.S. dairy industry. Its major causative agent Staphylococcus aureus is often unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. Our first study examined terpeneless, cold-pressed Valencia ...
MOLECULAR MECHANISMS UNDERLYING CADHERIN-6B INTERNALIZATION IN PREMIGRATORY CRANIAL NEURAL CREST CELLS DURING THEIR EPITHELIAL-TO-MESENCHYMAL TRANSITION
(2015)
The generation of migratory cells from immotile precursors occurs frequently throughout development and is crucial to the formation and maintenance of a functioning organism. This phenomenon, called an epithelial-to-mesenchymal ...
Campylobacter spp. in bulk tank milk and milk filters from US dairy farms
(2015)
Campylobacter spp. are a common cause of foodborne outbreaks associated with raw or unpasteurized milk, and Campylobacter spp. have also been detected on most dairies in the US. An estimate of the prevalence of thermophilic ...
Lineage reprogramming of tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T lymphocytes using protein stem cell transcription factors
(2015)
Adoptive cell transfer therapy (ACT) is one of the most promising immunotherapies against cancer. However, this treatment regimen requires the expansion of a small population of effector cells, known as tumor infiltrating ...
