The Zebrafish miR-183 Family Regulates Endoderm Convergence and Heart Development via S1Pr2 Signaling Pathway

Biomolecules
MicroRNA (miRNA), as a key post-transcriptional regulatory factor, plays a crucial role in embryonic development. The coordination of endoderm cell convergence and cardiac precursor cell (CPC) migration is critical for cardiac tube fusion.

Intestinal organoid screen reveals that Bacillus velezensis PGM541 promotes epithelial proliferation via its metabolite butyric acid

Microbiome
Background Probiotics have been widely used for the regulation of intestinal health. Current screening methods for probiotics typically rely on animal or two-dimensional cell models. In this study, we employed intestinal organoids to identify a candidate
