According to a statement, silage is a fermented fodder made from smashed corn cobs and stalks, which can be stored for one to three years. The ‘grain crops to feed crops’ trial aims to promote the cultivation of silage corn and turn the harvest of grain into fodder. Besides cost reduction, the fermented fodder also fatten the cattle and sheep, improving their meat quality. Silage also helps reduce the incidence of intestinal diseases for the animals – another guarantee of the desirable quality of livestock products. “The nutrient rate of hay is less than five per cent and nutrition rate of another method is about 30 per cent, while the whole-plant silage's nutrition rate can reach 70 per cent,” said deputy dean of Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Prof. He Chungui. An expansive planting of corn has weighed on planting efficiency, denting farmers' income and resulting in a large accumulation of corn stalks, which wastes resources and affects the rural environment. Linxia also has a robust animal husbandry industry which is in high demand of abundant quality forage. The inefficient use of corn stalks and the inadequacy of high-quality forage poses an increasingly prominent challenge for the region. -- BERNAMA KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 11 (Bernama) -- CereSpir Inc. and The National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) Singapore have obtained animal proof of concept for CereSpir’s clinical stage compound itanapraced in Parkinson’s disease models.
Its lead compound, itanapraced (CSP-1103), is a small molecule with good oral bioavailability, a long plasma half-life and substantial penetration into the brain, a statement said. Itanapraced blocks LRRK2 expression and LRRK2-mediated neurotoxicity. Itanapraced also ready to advance to Phase 2 in Parkinson’s disease patients with and without genetic mutation. Parkinson’s disease is a common, progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons which produce the essential neurotransmitter, dopamine. LRRK2 gain of function mutants are responsible for the majority of cases of familial Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, LRRK2 kinase activity is aberrantly increased in vulnerable dopamine neurons by oxidative mechanisms involving α-synuclein and mitochondrial impairment, suggesting LRRK2 inhibition will be useful for the majority of Parkinson’s disease patients. Itanapraced was previously tested with positive results in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), was shown to block the expression of LRRK2 and prevent neurotoxicity resulting in the preservation of healthy dopaminergic neurons. CereSpir is a privately held, science-driven pharmaceutical company with an innovative approach to treating neurodegenerative disorders.
