Genetic parameters and parental and early-life effects of boar semen traits by Pedro Sá, Rodrigo M. Godinho, Marta Gòdia, Claudia A. Sevillano, Barbara Harlizius, Ole Madsen, Henk Bovenhuis

“…A repeatability model accounting for effects at collection was used to (1) estimate heritabilities and repeatabilities for semen traits and genetic and phenotypic correlations between traits, (2) test the significance of early-life effects, (3) quantify the contribution of exclusive dam and sire inheritances to the phenotypic variation, i.e., mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome, identified using a pedigree-based approach, and (4) quantify the contribution of maternal and paternal environment effects to the phenotypic variation of semen traits. …”

Antibiotic resistance among Aerobic Gram-Negative Bacilli isolated from patients with oral inflammatory dysbiotic conditions—a retrospective study by A. Basic, S. Blomqvist, G. Charalampakis, G. Dahlén

“…Ten isolates (4.1%) were phenotypically classified as ESBL positive. The ESBL isolates were predominantly found among isolates of S. maltophilia, while only one ESBL positive isolate was found among Enterobacteriaceae.ConclusionsPhenotypically identified ESBL isolates can occasionally be present among oral AGNB strains isolated in abundance from the dysbiotic microbiota occurring in cases with oral mucosal lesions, severe periodontitis, or peri-implantitis.…”

Functional Properties of Human Stem Cell-Derived Neurons in Health and Disease by Jason P. Weick

“…Stem cell-derived neurons from various source materials present unique model systems to examine the fundamental properties of central nervous system (CNS) development as well as the molecular underpinnings of disease phenotypes. In order to more accurately assess potential therapies for neurological disorders, multiple strategies have been employed in recent years to produce neuronal populations that accurately represent in vivo regional and transmitter phenotypes. …”

Penicillium menonorum, a new species related to P. pimiteouiense by S.W. Peterson, S.S. Orchard, S. Menon

“…Genealogical concordance analysis was applied to P. pimiteouiense and P. parvum, substantiating the phenotypically defined species. The species P. rubidurum, P. guttulosum, and P. menonorum were on distinct branches statistically excluded from inclusion in other species and have distinct phenotypes.…”
