The epidemic of avian coccidiosis seriously threatens the animals' welfare and the economic gains of the poultry industry. Widespread in avian coccidiosis, () could obviously impair the production performance of the infected chickens. So far, few effective vaccines targeting have been reported, and the nanovaccines composed of nanospheres captured our particular attention. At the present study, we construct two kinds of nanospheres carrying the recombinant actin depolymerizing factor (rEmADF), then the characterization was then analyzed. After safety evaluation, the protective efficacy of rEmADF along with its nanospheres were investigated in chickens. The promoted secretions of antibodies and cytokines, as well as the enhanced percentages of CD4 and CD8 T cells were evaluated by the ELISA and flow cytometry assay. In addition, the absolute quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay implied that vaccinations with rEmADF-entrapped nanospheres could significantly reduce the replications of in feces. Compared with the rEmADF-loaded chitosan (EmADF-CS) nanospheres, the PLGA nanospheres carrying rEmADF (EmADF-PLGA nanosphers) were more effective in up-regulating weight efficiency of animals and generated equally ability in controlling burdens in feces, suggesting the PLGA and CS nanospheres loaded with rEmADF were the satisfactory nanovaccines for defense. Collectively, nanomaterials may be an effective antigen delivery system that could help recombinant actin depolymerizing factor to enhance immunoprotections in chicken against the infections of .

Background: Megakaryocyte (MK) fragmentation into proplatelets (PPTs) and microparticles (MKMPs) is well established, yet the mechanisms underlying MKMP generation remain unclear.
Objectives: In order to investigate the role of integrin β3 and cytoskeletal dynamics during megakaryopoiesis and explore potential therapeutic targets for thrombocytopenia.
Methods: Proplatelet formation and MKMP release were evaluated both in vivo and in vitro under integrin β3 receptor impaired environment.

Traditional biophysical cytometry has been limited by its low-dimensional phenotyping characteristics, often relying on only one or a few cellular biophysical phenotypes as readouts. This has perpetuated the perception that biophysical cytometry lacks the power to determine cellular heterogeneity. Here, we introduce a multimodal biophysical cytometry platform, termed quantitative phase morpho-rheological (QP-MORE) cytometry, which simultaneously captures a collection of high-resolution biophysical and mechanical phenotypes of single cells at ultrahigh throughput (>10 000 cells per s).

Remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton is a critical process for plant immunity, essential for the transport, activation, and stabilization of immune-regulatory molecules and organelles. In this process, actin depolymerization factors (ADFs) function as key players through severing and depolymerizing actin microfilaments. However, recent evidence suggests that ADFs may possess non-canonical immune functions inside the nucleus, in addition to the canonic cytosolic role, a phenomenon not adequately explained by the traditional mechanistic model of ADF-actin dynamics.

Physical confinement is not routinely considered as a factor that influences phagocytosis, which is typically investigated using unconfined in vitro assays. BV2 microglia-like cells were used to interrogate the impact of confinement on IgG-mediated phagocytosis side by side with unconfined cells. Confinement acted as a potent phagocytic driver, greatly increasing the fraction of phagocytic cells in the population compared to the unconfined setting.
