Hyodeoxycholic acid modulates gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism to enhance intestinal barrier function in piglets

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Oral bile acids, particularly hyodeoxycholic acid (HDCA), serve as critical drivers for gut microbial community maturation in mice. In the first study, Cy5-labeled HDCA combined with fluorescence imaging revealed rapid gastrointestinal transit of HDCA in

Uncovering the mechanism of Clostridium butyricum CBX 2021 to improve pig health based on in vivo and in vitro studies

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionAs a symbiotic probiotic for the host, Clostridium butyricum (CB) has the potential to strengthen the body’s immune system and improve intestinal health. However, the probiotic mechanism of CB is not completely understood.

Mood As Cumulative Expectation Mismatch: A Test of Theory Based on Data from Non-verbal Cognitive Bias Tests

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Affective states are known to influence behavior and cognitive processes. To assess mood (moderately long-term affective states), the cognitive judgment bias test was developed and has been widely used in various animal species.

Effect of anti-biofilm peptide CRAMP-34 on the biofilms of Acinetobacter lwoffii derived from dairy cows

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Dairy mastitis is one of the most common diseases in dairy farming, and the formation of pathogenic bacteria biofilms may be an important reason why traditional antibiotic therapy fails to resolve some cases of dairy mastitis.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Linking neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and myelination defects to neurodevelopmental disruption in primary mitochondrial disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy due to Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in PIGM

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective PIGM encodes a critical enzyme in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchor biosynthesis pathway. While promoter‐region mutations in PIGM have been associated with a relatively mild phenotype characterized by portal vein thrombosis and absence seizures, recent evidence suggests that coding‐region mutations result in a more severe
