Improvements in ex situ storage of genetic and reproductive materials offer an alternative for endangered livestock breed conservation. This paper presents a dataset for current ex situ collections and in situ population for 179 Spanish livestock breeds of seven species, cattle, sheep, pig, chicken, goat, horse and donkey. Ex situ data was obtained via survey administered to 18 functioning gene banks in Spain and relates to the reproductive genetic materials (semen doses) of 210 livestock breeds distributed across the gene banks. In situ data combines CENSUS information with linear regression techniques and relates to the geographic distribution of 179 Spanish autochthonous livestock breeds (2009-2018), and in situ population projections and extinction probabilities (2019-2060). We use a decision variable defining an "acceptable level of risk" that allows decision makers to specify tolerable levels of in situ breed endangerment when taking ex situ collection and storage decisions.Temporal data on how the mycobacterium infection establishes itself inside the host cell is not available. We differentiated human THP1 cell line with PMA and infected them with different laboratory (H37Ra and H37Rv) and clinical strains (BND433 and JAL2287) of mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Uninfected differentiated THP1 cells were used as infection control. Host proteome was investigated at four different time points to understand the dynamics of host response to mycobacterial infection with time. The investigated time points included 6 hrs, 18 hrs, 30 hrs and 42 hrs of infection with all the Mtb strains. SWATH-MS method was used to quantitate the host proteome in response to Mtb infection and the data thus obtained are available via PRIDE repository with the dataset identifier PXD022352 (https//www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archive/projects/PXD022352).The data presented in this article is from a paper entitled "An experimental task to examine the mirror neuron system in mice Laboratory mice understand the movement intentions of other mice based on their own experience" (Ukezono and Takano, 2021). This article contains individual data on reaching behavior for reward in social situations in mice. In the reaching room, the mice first learned how to acquire food by reaching their limbs. The mice that had learned reaching were placed in an observation room where they could observe the reaching activity of another mouse in the reaching room. The data includes all animals' properties and conditions, the pairing state of another mouse (cage mate or non-cage mate), and a set of behavioral analyses. Our data have the potential to be reused for analyzing interaction behaviors of mice placed in front of rewards and developing experiments for behavioral neuroscience research on the mirror neuron system in mice.
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease, which affects the exocrine glands. Its primary symptoms are decreased moisture in the mouth and eyes. Therapies are limited to treatment with steroids, which has unpleasant side effects, so new treatments would be beneficial. One possibility might be stem cells, such as bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) or dental pulp-derived stem cells (DPSCs); these have been reported to exert immunomodulatory effects on activated lymphoid cells. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of conditioned media from DPSCs (DPSC-CM) or BMMSCs (BMMSC-CM) on salivary functions in SS.
Cytokine array analysis was performed to assess the types of cytokines present in the media. DPSC-CM or BMMSC-CM was administered in an SS mouse model. Histological analysis of the salivary glands was performed, and gene expression levels of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the submandibular glands (SMGs) were evaluated.
DPSC-CM contained more anti-inflammatory factors than BMMSC-CM. The mice that were given DPSC-CM had a lower number of inflammation sites in the SMGs than those in the other experimental groups, and their salivary flow rate increased. The expression levels of

decreased. The mice that received DPSC-CM showed a significantly increased percentage of regulatory T cells and a significantly decreased percentage of type T helper 17cells compared to other groups.
These results indicate that DPSC-CM could be an effective therapy for SS-induced hyposalivation, since it decreases the number of inflammatory cytokines and regulates the local inflammatory microenvironment in the SMGs.

Cortical gyrification, as a specific metric derived from structural MRI, is an index of the convoluted folding and patterning of the gyri and sulci, and is thought to facilitate the efficiency of local neuronal wiring. It has the potential to act as a neurobiological risk factor for emergent psychiatric disorders - to date, it has been understudied in PTSD. Here, using a local measure of the degree of gyrification (local Gyrification Index, lGI) we investigate cortical gyrification morphology in 48 adult male soldiers with (n = 23) and without (n = 25) a PTSD diagnosis. We also examine the relation between lGI and PTSD severity within the PTSD group. selleck inhibitor General linear models yielded significant between-group differences with greater lGI found in PTSD in a cluster located in the medial occipito-parietal lobe on the left hemisphere and reduced lGI in a cluster located on the lateral surfacide support for the existing literature by highlighting the importance of the frontal lobe in the pathogenesis of PTSD. Future large-scale longitudinal studies including female participants may infer causal implications of atypical gyrification in PTSD and shed light on the potential effect of sex on this brain metric.CRISPR-Cas9 technology has transformed the ability to edit genomic sequences and control gene expression with unprecedented ease and scale. However, precise genomic insertions of coding sequences using this technology remain time-consuming and inefficient because they require introducing adjacent single-strand cuts through Cas9 nickase action and invoking the host-encoded homology-directed repair program through the concomitant introduction of large repair templates. Here, we present a system for the rapid study of any protein-of-interest in two neuronal cell models following its inducible expression from the human AAVS1 safe harbor locus. With lox-flanked foundation cassettes in the AAVS1 site and a tailor-made plasmid for accepting coding sequences-of-interest in place, the system allows investigators to produce their own neuronal cell models for the inducible expression of any coding sequence in less than a month. Due to the availability of preinserted enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) coding sequences that can be fused to the protein-of-interest, the system facilitates functional investigations that track a protein-of-interest by live-cell microscopy as well as interactome analyses that capitalize on the availability of exquisitely efficient EGFP capture matrices.
