Comparative study of the effects of baicalin and probenecid on microRNA expression profiles in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells infected by Glaesserella parasuis

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Glaesserella parasuis elicits severe inflammatory responses and vascular damage, thus resulting in high mortality and morbidity in pigs; consequently, early diagnosis and treatment are critical to controlling economic losses. MicroRNAs (miRNAs)

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

Animal 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 ...

Porcine SCD1 Regulates Lipid Droplet Number via CLSTN3B in PK15 Cells

Animals
Fat deposition plays a key role in determining porcine meat quality traits, with lipid droplets serving as critical organelles for lipid storage in adipose tissue. Inhibiting lipid droplet biogenesis disrupts the lipid storage capacity of adipocytes. The

Comparative Meta‐Analysis of Antimicrobial Peptides in Aquatic and Terrestrial Livestock Species

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A global meta‐analysis of 58 studies (926 effect sizes and 29 species across five taxa) revealed that dietary antimicrobial peptides generally improve growth performance, blood metabolites, and immune responses. The greatest benefits were observed in omnivorous livestock, such as pigs and chickens. Dose‐duration effects were evident. An optimal outcome

A Multisensor Remote Sensing Approach to Archaeological Prospection: Integrating UAV and Google Earth Data in the Bayan Gol Valley, Mongolia

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effectiveness of drone‐based remote sensing and Google Earth satellite imagery for archaeological prospection in the Bayan Gol Valley, Central Mongolia. Utilizing a fixed‐wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with RGB and multispectral sensors, we surveyed 655 ha to document Mongol‐period settlement structures

Digital Spatial Technologies to Compose the Map of the Southeast Iberia Megalithic Phenomenon. The Case Study of Fonelas (Granada, Spain)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Megalithic landscapes in Southeast Iberia remain unevenly and insufficiently documented, particularly in rugged areas where traditional survey methods are limited. This paper addresses this gap by applying a multiscalar approach to the megalithic necropolises of the Fardes River (Granada, Spain), with the objective of detecting, documenting ...
