Multi‐Tissue Genetic Regulation of RNA Editing in Pigs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents the first multi‐tissue map of RNA editing and its genetic regulation in pigs. By integrating RNA editing profiles, edQTL mapping, GWAS, and cross‐species comparisons, this work establishes RNA editing as a distinct regulatory layer linking genetic variation to complex traits, highlighting its functional and evolutionary significance.

Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Atlases of Camels and Cattle Unravel Molecular Evolution of Digestive and Metabolic Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We generated multi‐tissue single‐cell transcriptomic atlases of camels and cattle, uncovering conserved and lineage‐specific cellular features across digestive and metabolic systems. Cross‐species comparisons revealed the evolutionary origin of the camel glandular sac and identified novel cell populations linked to physiological specialization ...

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.

Creating Cell‐Based Hybrid Noodles for Sustainable and Nutrient‐Balanced Diets via a Serum‐Free and Animal‐Free 3D Co‐Differentiation System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a 3D co‐culture and co‐differentiation system for porcine muscle stem cells (pMuSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (pMSCs) on edible starch‐based scaffolds. The system simultaneously generates myotubes and adipocytes without using serum or chemical inducers.

Evaluation of Metabolic Characteristics Induced by Deoxynivalenol in 3D4/21 Cells

Animals
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a common mycotoxin that causes immunosuppression in pigs. Its effects on cellular metabolism remain unclear. In this study, we investigate DON-induced metabolic alterations in porcine alveolar macrophage cell line 3D4/21 using non-
