TL;DR: A modified Apgar scoring system was used to assess newborn viability and short-term survival prognosis, as well as related characteristics, in 193 puppies from 42 litters, 65 born by spontaneous delivery, 66 by assisted delivery, and 62 by cesarean section.

TL;DR: A mixture of sericins extracted from the most promising strains may be useful for dermatological and cosmetic use.

TL;DR: Evidence is put in evidence that in males the best collection site in terms of yield is located in the abdomen, whereas in females the biopsy region do not influence cell recovery; the collection technique, the age, and the body mass index of donor seem not to influence the cell yield.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the CASA evaluation of motility of bovine frozen-thawed semen using Hamilton-Thorne IVOS 12.3 should be performed using a frame rate of 60 frame/s and 30 frames per field, regardless of the chamber used.

TL;DR: The SVF represents a rich source of mesenchymal cells potentially able to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, myocytes, cardiomyocytes, hepatocytes, and neuronal, epithelial and endothelial cells, which are ideal candidates for use in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, including gene therapy and cell replacement cancer therapies.
