AbstractBone defects often heal naturally, but larger defects require intervention through Bone Tissue Engineering (BTE). This review highlights Hyaluronic acid (HA), a biopolymer essential to the extracellular matrix (ECM), emphasizing its unique properties and role in enhancing osteogenesis in HA-based biomaterials. Hyaluronic acid plays crucial roles in cell proliferation, joint lubrication, and wound healing.

AbstractRising temperatures due to climate change pose significant threats to global food security, particularly by impacting crop fertility and yield. Despite the known susceptibility of male reproductive development to heat stress, the specific adaptive mechanisms and critical regulatory genes involved in the stage-specific heat stress response in crops are still not well understood.

See Additional file 1 for further details. The study used 19 multiparous Quarter Horse mares, weighing between 400 and 600 kg and aged 8 to 14 years, grazed freely in the northern hemisphere (latitude, 37.7o N) under natural light conditions with unlimited access to fresh water and trace-mineralized salt.

Plasma membranes (PMs) are highly dynamic structures where lipids and proteins can theoretically diffuse freely. However, reports indicate that PM proteins do not freely diffuse within their planes but are constrained by cytoskeleton networks, though the mechanisms for how the cytoskeleton restricts lateral diffusion of plant PM proteins are unclear.

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is not only the most effective method among various strategies for the asexual propagation of forest trees but also a basis for genetic improvement. However, some bottlenecks, such as the recalcitrance of initiation, the maintenance of embryogenic potential during proliferation and the low efficiency of maturation as well as high rate of abnormal embryo development remain unresolved.

Efforts to implement effective assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) for the conservation of the northern white rhinoceros (NWR; Ceratotherium simum cottoni) to prevent its forthcoming extinction, could be supported by research conducted on the closely related southern white rhinoceros (SWR; Ceratotherium simum simum).

The study was conducted in six different districts in the South Kivu province located in the Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, including Fizi, Kabare, Kalehe, Mwenga, Uvira, and Walungu. The collection points in each district are shown in Fig. 1. This vast region has an area of 66.814 Km2, located between longitudes 26° 10’ 30” and 29° 58’ East and latitudes 00’ 58” North and 4° 51’ 21” South.

The Ri chickens resistant or susceptible to HPAIV-H5N1 infection used in this study were provided by the National Institute of Animal Science (NIAS, Hanoi, Vietnam). For H5N1 infection, 4-week-old mixes of male and female chickens (five chickens per group) were infected intranasally with the harvested allantoic fluid from infected eggs, which contained 1 × 104 50% egg infectious dose (EID50) of A/duck/Vietnam/QB1207/2012 (H5N1) [13]. Lung tissues were collected 3 days after infection.

Complete reproductive tracts including oviducts and ovaries (n = 10; a pool of 2 animals per replicate) were obtained from a local slaughterhouse (JBS Foods, USA) at the discretion of BPO Parts LLC (La Salle, CO) and transported within 1 h following collection via an insulated box containing physiological saline solution (0.9% NaCl) warmed to 37 °C to the Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology Laboratory for processing.
