Climate Change Mitigation in Rice Farming Should Account for Biodiversity
(Global Change Biology, 2026-02-17)Climate change mitigation and biodiversity loss are closely linked challenges, yet agricultural strategies often address them separately. Focusing on rice farming, this article shows that widely promoted ... -
Exploring the chicken respiratory microbiome: a comprehensive meta-analysis of factors shaping chicken respiratory microbiota
(Scientific Reports, 2026-01-21)Poultry is the main source of meat production worldwide. The respiratory microbiota of chickens plays a critical role in avian health and disease prevention. To better understand its composition and ... -
Rapid generation of prion disease models using AAV-delivered PrP variants in knockout mice
(Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2026-01-31)The study of prion biology has traditionally relied on transgenic mouse models, which, while valuable, require significant time and resources to develop. Here, we present a rapid and flexible alternative ... -
Long-term organic amendments regulate cbbL-harboring bacterial community via soil physicochemical properties and enzyme activities in a paddy soil
(Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2026-01-22)Purpose Organic amendments improve soil physicochemical and microbial properties, but the effects vary by fertilizer type. These amendments also modulate the autotrophic CO₂-fixing microbial community, ... -
Phagocytosis of Mycobacterium fortuitum by Caprine Alveolar Macrophages Is Associated with iNOS and Pro-Inflammatory Markers Expression
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2026-02-04)Mycobacterial diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), remain the major health and economic challenges in livestock, underscoring the need to characterise the innate immune mechanisms involved in early ... -
Evaluating the impact of age, sex, and lameness on the problem-solving ability of broiler chickens
(Frontiers in Animal Science, 2026-01-20)Problem-solving abilities help individuals analyze, understand and solve challenges effectively. These abilities are important for adaptability and environmental changes. This study aimed to evaluate ... -
Intranasal BCG vaccination induces systemic and pulmonary mucosal immune responses against tuberculosis in a goat model
(Frontiers in Immunology, 2026-01-02)Early immune containment of mycobacteria at the infection site is key to tuberculosis (TB) vaccine development. Intranasal delivery strategies offer a promising alternative to parenteral BCG vaccination, ... -
Overexpression of bank vole PrP(I109) in mice induces a spontaneous atypical prion disease with sex-dependent onset, early NfL elevation, and universal prion strain permissiveness
(Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2026-01-20)Transgenic mice overexpressing bank vole prion protein with the isoleucine 109 polymorphism, TgVole(I109)4x, develop spontaneous neurodegenerative disease with sex-dependent onset, averaging 170 days ... -
System design and habitat type drive microbial communities in recirculating aquaculture systems: comparison of conventional fish-only and sustainable aquaponic systems
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2026-02-24)This study compares how system design and experimental conditions shape bacterial communities across distinct habitats in a coupled seawater aquaponic system and a marine RAS, and explores their functional ... -
