Targeting Myostatin for Sustainable Meat Production: Insights From Multiple Species
Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Myostatin gene (MSTN), a TGF‐β superfamily member, negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth, positioning it as a prime genetic target for enhancing livestock meat production. This review synthesizes evidence from 1979 to 2025 on MSTN mutations across cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, and rabbits, emphasising impacts on yield, quality ...

The Long Haul: Microtubule Motors as the Essential Supply Line for Neuronal Longevity
Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.To survive a lifetime, neurons depend on a high‐fidelity logistics network powered by microtubule motors. We explore how a broad spectrum of genetic defects in this machinery drive a devastating spectrum of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases, including Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP), Charcot–Marie‐Tooth Type 2 (CMT2), and ...

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 28, 18 May 2026.The authors complement bovine pan‐SV with massive novel structural variations (SVs) identified through long‐read sequencing of 83 globally distributed cattle breeds. Repetitive sequence‐mediated SVs (rep‐SV) exhibit distinct dynamic patterns throughout cattle sub‐speciation and/or domestication processes, including uneven distribution between chr‐X and
