Core competing endogenous RNA network based on mRNA and non-coding RNA expression profiles in chicken fatty liver.

Fatty liver disease is a common metabolic disease in chickens. This disease can lead to a decrease in egg production and increase the risk of death in chickens. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in fatty liver formation by directly targeting genes or regulating gene expression by competitively binding microRNAs.

Identification and Characterization of Dpo42, a Novel Depolymerase Derived from the Phage vB_EcoM_ECOO78.

Biofilm formation, one of the most important virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria, protects bacteria against desiccation, antibiotics, phages and host immune responses. However, phage-derived depolymerases show antibiofilm activity and demonstrate great potential to treat infections caused by biofilm-forming bacteria. In this study, the phage vB_EcoM_ECOO78 was isolated and characterised, and we observed its ability to lyse five out of 34 tested clinical isolates.
