ELF5‐Mediated Enhancer–Promoter Interaction Regulates LALBA Expression in Ovine Mammary Gland

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In the study, we systematically investigate the epigenetic mechanisms underlying lactation traits in sheep by integrating transcriptomic, chromatin accessibility, histone modification, and functional analyses. We identify a super‐enhancer at the LALBA locus and demonstrate that enhancer E4 functions as its core regulatory element.

Placing very long branch taxa in the plant tree of life: A case study with Dioscoreales mycoheterotrophs

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The inclusion of heterotrophic plants in broader systematic studies is challenging due to substantial morphological modification, gene loss, and accelerated substitution rates following photosynthesis loss. In particular, inclusion of very long branch (VLB) taxa with highly elevated rates may lead to phylogenomic misinference.

Genotype–Phenotype Correlations of Monoallelic PFIC Variants in Pediatric Liver Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is classically caused by biallelic pathogenic variants, yet monoallelic variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in PFIC‐associated genes are increasingly identified in children with cholestasis, creating diagnostic uncertainty.

COX14 Variants Are Associated With Mitochondrial Complex IV Deficiency Nuclear Type 10 (MC4DN10)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT COX14 encodes a transmembrane protein essential for cytochrome c oxidase (COX) complex assembly. A homozygous missense variant in COX14 was reported in three siblings from a single consanguineous family with severe, fatal infantile mitochondrial complex IV deficiency nuclear type 10 (MC4DN10; MIM# 619053).

Aortic valve disease: Novel animal models for advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Due to the complex pathophysiology of aortic valve disease (AVD) and the resulting lack of effective pharmacotherapy, existing animal models are valuable research tools, but each has its own strengths and limitations. This review systematically surveys the major AVD models, compares their induction methods, pathological features, advantages and ...

Dietary Mannan‐Rich Fractions Attenuate Weaning Stress in Piglets via Modulating Gut Microbiota and TLR5/NF‐κB Signaling

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the potential of a mannan‐rich fraction (MRF) as a dietary intervention to alleviate weaning stress in piglets. Our results revealed that MRF could alleviate weaning stress by modulating the gut microbiota and the TLR5/NF‐κB signaling pathway, offering a novel and sustainable alternative to antibiotic use in swine ...

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.
