Bridging Research and Real-World Impact: H5 Avian Influenza Vaccination in Cattle
Scientific discovery is only the first step -its true impact is measured by how it translates into real-world solutions. Our recent study, explores the efficacy of an inactivated H5 avian influenza vaccine in cattle, shedding light on a critical issue at the intersection of animal health
Employing biodiversity to reduce pesticide risk
Biodiversity (eg., crop diversification, crop-domestic animal co-culture, and crop-edible fungus co-culture) has been proved to be a useful way to suppress pests and therefore to reduce pesticide risk in farming.
Shifting the paradigm for non-contact anterior cruciate ligament rupture to emphasize intrinsic genetic risk in humans and dogs
Non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common injury. The underlying mechanism has long been mischaracterized as principally mechanical. Our work reveals that ACL rupture is a heritable, polygenic disease. This breakthrough challenges the causal paradigm and advances patient care.
High-quality alligator gar chromosome-level genome aids in exploring its internal invasion mechanism
Our study generated a high contiguity, completeness, and accuracy genome assembly of alligator gar at the chromosome level using Oxford Nanopore Technology and Hi-C sequencing techniques, deepening our understanding of the genomic basis of its ecology, evolution, and invasiveness.
