miRNA expression signatures induced by pasteurella multocida infection in goats lung

Scientific Reports
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression and are involved in bacterial pathogenesis and host–pathogen interactions. In this study, we investigated the function of miRNAs in the regulation of host responses to Pasteurella multocida ...

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

ZBED6 Knockout Promotes Skeletal Muscle Development in Bama Pigs by Relieving Transcriptional Repression of CDKN1A

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Integrated transcriptomic and functional analyses identify CDKN1A as a direct target of ZBED6 in Bama pigs. ZBED6 knockout relieves transcriptional repression of CDKN1A, thereby promoting myogenic differentiation and skeletal muscle development.
