gnSPADE: Incorporating Gene Network Structures Enhances Reference‐Free Deconvolution in Spatial Transcriptomics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
gnSPADE integrates gene‐network structures into a probabilistic topic modeling framework to achieve reference‐free cell‐type deconvolution in spatial transcriptomics. By embedding gene connectivity within the generative process, gnSPADE enhances biological interpretability and accuracy across simulated and real datasets, revealing spatial organization ...

Genome-wide investigation of defensin genes in apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.) and in vivo analyses show that MdDEF25 confers resistance to Fusarium solani

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Apple replant disease is a complex soil syndrome that occurs when the same fields are repeatedly utilized for apple orchard cultivation. It can be caused by various pathogens, and Fusarium solani is the main pathogen.

Vitamin D influences gut microbiota and acetate production in zebrafish (Danio rerio) to promote intestinal immunity against invading pathogens

Gut Microbes, 2023
Although evidence has shown that vitamin D (VD) influences gut homeostasis, limited knowledge is available how VD regulates intestinal immunity against bacterial infection. In the present study, cyp2r1 mutant zebrafish, lacking the capacity to metabolize

A new family of diverse skin peptides from the microhylid frog genus phrynomantis [PDF]

, 2020
A wide range of frogs produce skin poisons composed of bioactive peptides for defence against pathogens, parasites and predators. While several frog families have been thoroughly screened for skin-secreted peptides, others, like the Microhylidae, have ...

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...

Olive Mill Waste-Water Extract Enriched in Hydroxytyrosol and Tyrosol Modulates Host–Pathogen Interaction in IPEC-J2 Cells

Animals
The dietary supplementation of olive oil by-products, including olive mill waste-water (OMWW) in animal diets, is a novel application that allows for their re-utilization and recycling and could potentially decrease the use of antibiotics, antimicrobial ...

Intestinal antimicrobial gene expression: impact of micronutrients in malnourished adults during a randomized trial. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Because both micronutrients and antimicrobial peptides protect against diarrhea, we looked for an effect on intestinal antimicrobial peptide gene expression during a randomized controlled trial of multiple micronutrient (MM) supplementation ...

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Uncovering the role of genetic polymorphisms in cervical insufficiency

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Pathways and genes implicated in CI pathogenesis. Abstract Cervical insufficiency (CI) is characterized by spontaneous dilation of the cervix in the absence of painful uterine contractions in the mid‐trimester, leading to premature delivery. It is responsible for up to 20% of second trimester pregnancy losses, mostly <24 weeks.
