The Role of miRNAs in Chicken Immune Regulation and Prospects for Disease‐Resistant Breeding

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A schematic workflow illustrating the screening of disease‐resistant miRNAs and the generation of miRNA‐based disease‐resistant chickens via PGC‐mediated germline genome editing. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators of the immune system, playing a decisive role in shaping disease resistance in chicken.

Targeting neutrophil extracellular traps in metabolic and immune niche: Nanomaterials for diabetes tissue regeneration

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.

Virulence Factors of Bordetella pertussis.

open access: yesNippon Saikingaku Zasshi, 1996
百日咳はワクチン接種の普及により日本では過去の病気となりつつあるが, 予防接種の行き渡らない国々では今なお猛威を奮っている小児の呼吸器伝染病で, 病因的にはジフテリアと同様, 毒素性疾患として理解し得る。最近では伝染源としての成人感染者が問題視され始めたが, 呼吸器感染症の常として根絶は殆ど不可能であり, 感染の予防, 治療に関する研究成果のみが百日咳の制圧を可能にする途である。本小文では, 百日咳菌の産生する病原因子のうち, 感染の第一段階である宿主細胞への菌の吸着に関与する接着因子 (繊維状赤血球凝集素, 線毛, パータクチン) および百日咳症の発現に関与する毒素類 (百日咳毒素, アデニレートシクラーゼ毒素, 気管上皮細胞毒素, 皮膚壊死毒素, 内毒素) の産生, 性状 ...

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
