Histological Characterization and Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Gonads During Early Sex Differentiation in the Northern Snakehead (Channa argus)

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study delineates the early sex differentiation timeline in the northern snakehead (Channa argus). These findings provide a foundation for future sex‐control breeding in this economically important species. ABSTRACT The northern snakehead (Channa argus) is an economically important aquaculture species in China.

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Developmental Characteristics of the Embryonic Liver Tissue and Long‐Term Culture of Primary Hepatocytes in Duck

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Liver development was investigated at different embryonic ages (EAs). Furthermore, numerous hepatocyte media were formulated and evaluated. These results could elaborate the developmental characteristics of duck liver tissue and determine the most suitable medium for the proliferation and characteristic maintenance of hepatocytes in vitro, which would ...
