Impact of DNA methylation on digestive and metabolic gene expression in red pandas (Ailurus fulgens) during the transition from milk to bamboo diet by Lei Chen, Liang Zhang, Yanni Zhao, Ming He, Honglin Wu, Jingheng Wang, Zhoulong Chen, Yongqi Zhao, Fujun Shen, Xiuyue Zhang

“…Genes involved in protein metabolism like CTSZ and GLDC, exhibit hypomethylated with high-expression and hypermethylated with low-expression patterns in the pancreas of adults, respectively, contributing to protein metabolism balance post-weaning. Conclusion This study reveals the regulatory role of DNA methylation in the dietary transition of red pandas from milk to bamboo and provides methylation evidence for the molecular regulation of adaptive expression of digestive and metabolic genes in red pandas with specialized diets.…”

Neutralizing the Th1 effector cytokines, IFN-γ and TNF-α, attenuates established experimental autoimmune anti-myeloperoxidase glomerulonephritis by Kei Nagai, Kei Nagai, Daniel Koo Yuk Cheong, Anne Cao Le, Diana Shu Yee Tan, Joshua Daniel Ooi, Poh-Yi Gan

“…Mice received anti-TNF-α or anti-IFN-γ beginning 4 hours post-GN induction, with kidney injury assessed 4 or 10 days later.ResultsIn early anti-MPO GN (day 20), neither anti-TNF-α nor anti-IFN-γ mitigated kidney injury, consistent with Th17-driven autoimmunity at this stage. …”

AAV-mediated transduction of songbird retina by Pranav Kumar Seth, Pranav Kumar Seth, Dominik Heyers, Dominik Heyers, Baladev Satish, Ezequiel Mendoza, Katrin Haase, Lisa Borowsky, Isabelle Musielak, Karl-Wilhelm Koch, Karl-Wilhelm Koch, Regina Feederle, Constance Scharff, Karin Dedek, Karin Dedek, Henrik Mouritsen, Henrik Mouritsen

“…Resultantly, developments of recombinant viral vectors with improved transduction efficiency and further methodological improvements have mostly focused on murine tissue, whereas AAVs successfully targeting avian retinae have remained scarce.MethodologyUsing a custom-designed injection setup, we identified a viral serotype with the capability to successfully induce widespread transduction of the bird retina.ResultsIntravitreal administration of an AAV type 2/9 encoding for enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in night-migratory European robins (Erithacus rubecula) resulted in transduction coverages of up to 60% within retinal tissue. …”
