Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3297-3329, November 2026.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Multi-Omics Epigenetic Landscape Unveils Regulatory Mechanisms Underlying Heterosis in Sheep Muscle Development

Animals
Hybridization effectively enhances breeding efficiency and significantly boosts sheep productivity. However, the epigenetic mechanisms underlying the superior production performance of crossbreds remain largely elusive.

Gastrointestinal Parasites in Himalayan Musk Deer (Moschus leucogaster Hodgson, 1839) and Sympatric Livestock in Gaurishankar Conservation Area, Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
This research shows high gastrointestinal parasitic infections in the endangered Himalayan musk deer, indicating a significant risk of cross‐transmission from sympatric livestock (chauri and horses). Moreover, distinct host‐specific parasite dominance and habitat‐dependent infection patterns accentuate the need for minimising livestock‐wildlife contact

Effect of hybrid Broussonetia papyrifera on rumen microbial community composition in Hu sheep

Siliao yanjiu, 2021
The experiment was to evaluate the effect of feeding hybrid Broussonetia papyrifera on the composition of the rumen microbial community of Hu sheep. One hundred and five Hu sheep were randomly divided into seven groups, with 15 sheep in each group.

Inhibition of IGFBP4 in Granulosa Cells Improves Reproductive Performance and Maintains Fertility With Age via YAP Signaling

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 56, 9 October 2026.
IGFBP4 is upregulated in granulosa cells of aged ovaries across monkeys, mice, and humans. It inhibits YAP signaling, thereby suppressing cell proliferation and contributing to follicular dysfunction. Deletion of Igfbp4 in granulosa cells enhances ovulatory output, improves hormone profiles, and reproductive performance in aged female mice, suggesting ...

A Study of the Resistance of Hu Sheep Lambs to Escherichia coli F17 Based on Whole Genome Sequencing

Animals
This study aims to analyze the whole genome sequencing of E. coli F17 in antagonistic and susceptible Hu sheep lambs. The objective is to investigate the critical mutation loci in sheep and understand the genetic mechanism of sheep resistance to E.

Microbial Hydrolysates as Amino Acid Source in Cell Culture Media for Cellular Agriculture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 10, Page 2520-2535, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The high cost of cultivation media remains one of the barriers to the commercialization of cultivated meat. Current serum‐free media reduce reliance on fetal bovine serum but only achieve modest cost savings. Especially at larger scales (> 20 m3), pharmaceutical‐grade amino acids and recombinant proteins remain major cost drivers.

The epigenetic mechanisms of adaption to the hot and humid climate in Hu sheep (Ovis aries)

Physiological Reports
Hu sheep is characterized by its excellent fecundity and high adaptability to various ecological environments. To reveal the molecular basis involved in Hu sheep, we first examined the 10 index of neuroendocrine and metabolism in blood in Hu sheep during

Multifaceted Suppression of Staphylococcal Virulence Phenotypes: In Vitro Study of a Cellular Status With Reduced Agr Activity and Impaired Biofilm

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Finding of in vitro S. aureus status with reduced Agr activity and impaired biofilm. ABSTRACT Anti‐quorum sensing (QS) therapy has been focused on to reduce the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. However, there is a risk that suppression of the staphylococcal QS Agr system might promote biofilm formation.

Time‐Restricted Feeding Delays Cardiovascular Aging by Increasing Acetic Acid Through Remodeling Gut Microbiota

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2026.
Time‐restricted feeding delays vascular aging and cardiac remodeling by fostering a symbiotic gut microbiota that bolsters barrier function and amplifies short‐chain fatty acid production. ABSTRACT Time‐restricted feeding (TRF) restricts food intake to daily windows, yet its efficacy against vascular aging and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here,
