Follicle Stimulating Hormone in Cattle Breeding: Fundamentals, Innovations, and Scope

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
FSH is crucial in cattle reproduction, with exogenous administration enhancing breeding and embryo production. Recombinant FSH offers advantages over pituitary‐extracted variants, including fewer injections, reduced stress, and safer production. These innovations improve breeding efficiency, optimize reproductive outcomes, and contribute to sustainable

A novel, resistance-linked ovine PrP variant and its equivalent mouse variant modulate the in vitro cell-free conversion of rPrP to PrPres [PDF]

, 2006
Prion diseases are associated with the conversion of the normal cellular prion protein, PrPC, to the abnormal, disease-associated form, PrPSc. This conversion can be mimicked in vitro by using a cell-free conversion assay. It has recently been shown that

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

Engineering Biology Beyond Single Genes: Advances and Challenges in Multiplex Genome Editing

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Multiplex genome editing is transforming genome engineering from single‐gene perturbation to network‐level control, yet its broader application remains limited by challenges in gRNA array engineering, delivery technologies, and safety management. Emerging AI‐driven approaches are accelerating guide RNA design and CRISPR effector optimization for ...

Dnmt3a Mutations Limit Normal and Autoreactive CD4+ T Follicular Helper Responses and Attenuate T Cell–Driven Joint Inflammation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Somatic DNMT3A mutations are the most common drivers of clonal hematopoiesis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have been associated with seropositive disease and increased markers of inflammation. These mutations are predominantly hypomorphic or dominant‐negative, reducing DNMT3A function.
