Every year, hundreds of millions of farmed animals are shipped across the United States to breeding, feeding, and slaughter facilities—transport that represents one of the most stressful experiences ...

Animals are transported to facilitate research, teaching, and training, and for breeding-colony establishment and maintenance. Stress during transportation is unavoidable and can affect the quality of ...

A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...

This protein storage function is unique to plant vacuoles and does not occur in other organisms. During evolution, plants developed a dedicated mechanism to transport large quantities of proteins into ...
