The Use of hCG for Inducing Ovulation in Sheep Estrus Synchronization Impairs Ovulatory Follicle Growth and Fertility
(MDPI, 2021-04)Currently, there is an intense effort to find an alternative hormone to eCG to induce ovulation after estrus synchronization treatments in sheep. One of the proposed alternatives is based on the use of hCG, but the results ... -
Characterization of a Nanovaccine Platform Based on an α1,2- Mannobiose Derivative Shows Species-non-specific Targeting to Human, Bovine, Mouse, and Teleost Fish Dendritic Cells
(ACS Publications, 2021-07)Dendritic cells serve as the main immune cells that trigger the immune response. We developed a simple and cost-effective nanovaccine platform based on the α1′,2-mannobiose derivative for dendritic cell targeting. In ... -
Quantifying farmers’ preferences for cropping systems intensification: A choice experiment approach applied in coastal Bangladesh’s risk prone farming systems
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Sustainable intensification (SI) is envisioned as an effective strategy for developing countries to increase farm productivity while reducing negative environmental and social externalities. The development of regionally ... -
Assessing soil microbial biodiversity as affected by grazing and woody vegetation cover in a temperate savannah
(Wiley, 2021-04-07)Although it is well established that land use and management affects soil microbial biodiversity, with consequences for soil-mediated ecosystem services, knowledge on human-induced variability in soil bacterial and fungal ... -
Deciphering the transcriptomic regulation of heat stress responses in Nothofagus pumilio
(Plos One, 2021-03-30)Global warming is predicted to exert negative impacts on plant growth due to the damaging effect of high temperatures on plant physiology. Revealing the genetic architecture underlying the heat stress response is therefore ... -
