Systematic characterization of the molecular states of cells in livestock tissues is essential for understanding the cellular and genetic mechanisms underlying economically and ecologically important physiological traits. Here, as part of the Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) project, we describe a comprehensive reference map including 1,793,854 cells from 59 bovine tissues in calves and adult cattle, spanning both sexes, which reveals intra-tissue and inter-tissue cellular heterogeneity in gene expression, transcription factor regulation and intercellular communication. Integrative analysis with genetic variants that underpin bovine monogenic and complex traits uncovers cell types of relevance, such as spermatocytes, responsible for sperm motility and excitatory neurons for milk fat yield.

Gastrosplenic fistula is a rare complication, most often secondary to gastric or splenic lymphoma. Severe gastrosplenic fistula can cause life-threatening upper gastrointestinal bleeding, making early diagnosis and intervention critical for a favorable prognosis. Currently, surgical intervention remains the primary treatment; however, outcomes are often suboptimal.

To address the low biotransformation efficiency and high interindividual variability of clopidogrel (Clop), we developed a novel deuterated Clop-ferulic acid derivative (Dclop-FA), featuring an FA ester pharmacophore at the C2 and a deuterated methyl ester at the C7 position. Pharmacokinetic studies in rats showed that a single oral dose of Dclop-FA achieved 6.0-fold greater systemic exposure to the active metabolite versus equimolar coadministration of Clop and FA.

Nonwoven fabrics play a critical role in filtration applications due to their unique structural properties, including high porosity, irregular structure, and customizable fiber arrangements. These characteristics make them ideal for various filtration purposes, from industrial air filters to indoor air filters for HVAC and engine air filters for automobiles. To this end, polypropylene fibers were spun at two different finenesses (1.

In this study, using a multigenerational heat selection design, we investigated the possible pattern of thermal acclimation and the background mechanism in . Results show that heat selection significantly shortened the larval and pupal developmental duration, which was maintained in the four tested generations. Significant costs to reproduction were found in the first two generations, but they recovered in the following generations.

Natural products (NPs) play a vital role in drug discovery, with many FDA-approved drugs derived from these compounds. Despite their significance, the biosynthetic pathways of NPs remain poorly characterized due to their inherent complexity and the limitations of traditional retrosynthesis methods in predicting such intricate reactions. While template-free machine learning models have demonstrated promise in organic synthesis, their application to biosynthetic pathways is still in its infancy.

Utilizing plant-derived electrode materials with natural multi-channel structure for supercapacitors is an effective approach for developing sustainable energy and innovatively utilizing agricultural waste. In this study, based on the green synthesis strategy of recycling waste resources, Pennisetum Hydridum loaded zirconium dioxide composite electrode materials were prepared by low-temperature annealing under argon protection using the natively grown Pennisetum Hydridum in rare earth tailings as precursors. The process accomplished the recovery of carbon resources while realizing the ecological restoration of tailings.

The pituitary gland is an important endocrine organ in living organisms and is divided into two parts: the adenohypophysis and the neurohypophysis. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secreted by the adenohypophysis can act on the granulosa cells of the ovary to promote follicle development and maturation. Activin A is a dimeric protein belonging to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily that promotes FSH secretion from the pituitary gland.

Previous observational studies have indicated that omega-3 may reduce the risk of various cancers. However, the relationship between omega-3 and the incidence of multiple myeloma (MM) remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a systematic Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal relationship between omega-3 and the risk of developing MM, while also exploring the potential mediating role of plasma lipids in this association.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies globally, with notable morbidity and mortality rates. Despite advances in surgical techniques and adjuvant therapies, recurrence and metastasis remain major challenges, highlighting the need for novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in various types of cancer, including GC, which can influence tumor progression through diverse mechanisms.

Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2), a virus that triggers Herpesvirus Hematopoietic Necrosis Disease, presents a major challenge for goldfish and related species. Previous studies have reported that quercetin inhibits viral replication by suppressing phosphorylation of AKT, the core protein of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This study further found that quercetin also has anti-CyHV-2 effects in vivo.

Cartilage injury repair remains challenging because of its unique physical structure and pathological micro-environment, including vascular invasion and inflammatory environment. In this study, inflammatory responsive hydrogels (TA-Mg@Bev iHGs) reinforced by bevacizumab (Bev)-loaded infinite coordination nanopolymer (TA-Mg@Bev) were fabricated for accelerated cartilage repair via anti-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. The incorporation of TA-Mg@Bev iHGs enhanced the mechanical strength of TA-Mg@Bev via phenolic hydroxyl group-mediated hydrogen bond, enabling a sustained drug release under inflammatory environment.

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in lower-body neuromuscular performance characteristics between ACL-injured athletes and their healthy counterparts, including peak take-off and landing force asymmetries. Forty-four semi-professional male soccer players volunteered to participate in the present investigation, from which 16 had previously undergone ACL reconstruction procedures and 28 were healthy controls. Following the warm-up completion, athletes performed three non-consecutive drop jumps (30 cm) with no arm swing while landing on a uni-axial force plate system sampling at 1,000 Hz.

Sulfur autotrophic denitrification (SAD) offers a sustainable solution for nitrogen removal in low carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) municipal wastewater, yet its efficiency and startup time pose significant challenges. To overcome these, we developed iron-sulfur-modified carriers (FeS@MC) and integrated them into an in-situ sequencing batch reactor (S-Fe-SBR), which successfully achieved rapid startup (16 days) of SAD under low C/N conditions. The mechanisms revealed that FeS@MC's hierarchical porous structure promoted biofilm colonization and selective enrichment of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (e.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection induces a hyperinflammatory response to promote inflammatory injury in multiple tissues. However, the relative mechanism remains elusive. Herein, we first confirmed that PRV infection could trigger pyroptosis to cause lung injury, evidenced by the increased release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in lung tissue of infected piglets and mice.
