STRESS REACTIVITY NEAR BIRTH AFFECTS NEST BUILDING TIMING AND OFFSPRING NUMBER AND SURVIVAL IN THE EUROPEAN RABBIT (ORYCTOLAGUS CUNICULUS).

Stress reactivity near birth affects nest building timing and offspring number and survival in the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

The physiological response to stressors has great importance, and Shooting Mittens its variance has an adaptive role in the survival of individuals.This study describes the effects of stress-axis activation on maternal behavior during the birthing process (parturition) in captive rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).In this species, chances of survival

Role of Notch1 in the arterial specification and angiogenic potential of mouse embryonic stem cell-derived endothelial cells

Abstract Background Endothelial cells have been shown to mediate angiogenesis in ischemic injury sites and contribute to the repair of damaged tissues.However, the treatment of ischemic disease requires a significant number of endothelial cells, which are difficult to isolate from patients.Embryonic stem cells have been considered a potential sourc

One-Step In Vitro Generation of ETV2-Null Pig Embryos

Each year, tens of thousands of people worldwide die of end-stage organ failure due to the limited availability of organs for use in transplantation.To meet this clinical demand, one of the last frontiers of regenerative medicine is the generation of humanized organs in pigs from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) via blastocyst complementation.For this
