A novel function of RHOA as a host-dependent factor in Glaesserella parasuis infection of LLC-PK1 cells

Veterinary Research
Glaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis), a lethal pathogen causing Glässer’s disease, poses severe threats to global swine health. While the small GTPase Ras homolog gene family member A (RHOA) is implicated in viral pathogenesis, its role in bacterial ...

ARHGDIB Modulates Subcutaneous Fat Deposition in Ducks

Animals
Background: Subcutaneous fat deposition critically impacts duck meat quality and feed efficiency. ARHGDIB, a Rho GTPase regulator implicated in adipogenesis, remains functionally uncharacterized in poultry. Methods: We monitored growth and fat deposition

Machine‐Learning Microfluidic Minute‐Scale Microorganism Metrics Monitoring(M6)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On‐site monitoring of microorganisms remains challenging because of low concentrations, strong background interference, and dynamic aerosol diffusion, particularly for aerosol‐transmitted pathogens. Here, we report a rapid detection platform that integrates a Puri‐focusing microfluidic chip, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and ...

Large‐Scale Genomics Reveals Three‐Source Ancestry and Layered Adaptation to High Altitude in Tibetan Chickens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Whole‐genome analysis of 1,054 chickens reveals three ancestral sources (NWC, SYA, and SHF) with distinct temporal entry patterns into the Tibetan Plateau. Route‐specific selection scans, calibrated against a demographic null, suggest complementary functional enrichments—vascular homeostasis (NWC), calcium signaling and cardiac adaptation (SYA), and ...

Deoxynivalenol-Induced Spleen Toxicity in Mice: Inflammation, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Macrophage Polarization, and the Dysregulation of LncRNA Expression

Toxins
The spleen is a primary target of deoxynivalenol (DON) toxicity, but its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates the effects of DON on inflammation, splenic macrophage polarization, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and ...

The BnTFL1‐BnJAM3‐BnSWEETs Module Orchestrates Seed Storage Reserve Accumulation in Brassica napus

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
BnaC03.TFL1 and BnaA01.JAM3 form a complex that facilitates the transport of soluble sugars from the seed coat to the embryo by directly activating the expression of BnSWEETs. Furthermore, BnaC03.TFL1 and BnaA01.JAM3 work cooperatively to promote soluble sugar and oil production while suppressing protein deposition.

Glaesserella parasuis infection triggers endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated pyroptosis via PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 axis and metabolic reprogramming in porcine alveolar macrophages

Veterinary Research
Glaesserella parasuis, the causative agent of Glässer’s disease in swine, triggers severe systemic inflammation; however, the molecular mechanisms underpinning its pathogenesis remain incompletely understood.
