Background: MyD88 directly interacts and affects IRF activation in mammals, but no information has been available about lower vertebrates.<p> <p>Results: Transgenic MyD88 interacts with IRF3 and IRF7A/B and modulates the IRF-induced IFN response and accumulates in aggresomes in Atlantic salmon. <p>Conclusion: MyD88 is involved in the regulation of the IRF-induced IFN response in Atlantic ...

Livslang læring er det nye mantraet. Det dukket opp som et slagord for utdanningsreform på 1970-tallet og er i dag noe som alle tilsynelatende er enige om. Men livslang læring har ulike betydninger og begrunnelser. Veien fra slagord til reform har også vært lang. Denne artikkelen gir et tilbakeblikk på den sammensatte bruken av begrepet og oppsummerer de viktigste reformene som har vært gjennomført ...

Behavioral parameters are reliable and useful operational welfare indicators that yield information on fish health and welfare status in aquaculture. However, aquatic environment is still constraining for some solutions based on underwater cameras or echo sounder transmitters. Thus, the use of bio-loggers internally or externally attached to sentinel fish emerges as a solution for fish welfare ...

Serglycin is a proteoglycan highly expressed by immune cells, in which its functions are linked to storage, secretion, transport, and protection of chemokines, proteases, histamine, growth factors, and other bioactive molecules. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that serglycin is also expressed by several other cell types, such as endothelial cells, muscle cells, and multiple types of ...

In the “Future We Want,” states and non-state actors are invited to contribute to achieving sustainable development goals through various means and mechanisms. This includes securing justice for the most marginalized and disadvantaged sectors like small-scale fisheries, whose rights and access to resources are threatened by Blue Economy/Growth initiatives. While strong and just institutions are ...

Det er ikke tvil om at røde blodceller er livsviktige, siden de forsyner kroppen med oksygen, og laksens blodceller frakter oksygen kanskje enda mer effektivt enn våre blodceller gjør. Men det er ikke det eneste de røde blodcellene i laksen kan. De har en cellekjerne som kan uttrykke en mengde gener - de har sensorer for virus og stresshormoner og mye mer - og får signaler fra ...

The rapid, global spread of COVID-19, and the measures intended to limit or slow its propagation, are having major impacts on diverse sectors of society. Notably, these impacts are occurring in the context of other anthropogenic-driven threats including global climate change. Both anthropogenic stressors and the COVID-19 pandemic represent significant economic challenges to aquaculture systems across ...

As an Arctic gateway, the Norwegian Sea sustains a rich diversity of seasonal and resident species of soniferous animals, vulnerable to the efects of climate change and anthropogenic activities. We show the occurrence of seasonal patterns of acoustic signals in a small canyon of Northern Norway, and investigate cetacean vocal behavior, human-made noise, and climatic contributions to underwater ...

Gear modifications in fisheries are usually implemented to obtain catch patterns that meet management objectives. In the Basque bottom trawl fishery, gear regulations include the use of a square mesh panel (SMP) placed at the top panel of the extension piece of the trawl to supplement diamond mesh codend selectivity. However, the catch patterns obtained with this combination have raised concern ...

Longlining is a widely used fishing method. During longline fishing, some of the snoods connecting the hooks to the mainline are often lost at sea. Since snoods are made of nylon or polyester, lost snoods contribute to marine plastic pollution. Replacing nylon or polyester with a new material made of biodegradable plastics can potentially reduce macro- and microplastic pollution that is caused by ...
