-
(MDPI, 2022)Simple Summary Bone deformities in the axial skeleton represent a frequent bone pathology in farmed salmonids, affecting the quality of life and even increasing mortality. Bone deformation can affect the formation, repair, ...
-
(MDPI, 2022)Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), or osteonectin, is a matricellular protein that modulates interactions between cells and their microenvironment. SPARC is expressed during extracellular matrix remodeling ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Biotin supplemented diet (BSD) is known to enhance beta-cell replication and insulin secretion in mice. Here, we first describe BSD impact on the islet beta-cell membrane potential (Vm) and glucose-induced electrical ...
