Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how tiny creatures in rabbit stomachs help them grow strong muscles and stay healthy.
- They looked at rabbits at different ages and found that certain bacteria like Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were the most common.
- The research found many genes that change when rabbits grow up, and this could help us understand how gut bugs affect muscle development in rabbits.
Alternative splicing is a ubiquitous regulatory mechanism in gene expression that allows a single gene to generate multiple messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Adipocyte development is regulated by many processes, and recent studies have found that splicing factors also play an important role in adipogenic development. In the present study, we further investigated the differences in selective shearing during different periods of adipocyte differentiation.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in mammalian adipogenesis as epigenetic modulators. In this study, we analyzed lncRNA expression during bovine adipogenesis and detected 195 differentially expressed lncRNAs, including lncRNA , which was significantly upregulated in mature bovine adipocytes.

- lnRNAs play a crucial role in regulating skeletal muscle development in cattle through various mechanisms, with a focus on a specific lncRNA associated with the gene related to sex determination.
- The study found that this lncRNA significantly affects muscle cell functions like proliferation and differentiation, evidenced by extensive changes in gene expression when manipulated.
- Key biological processes and signaling pathways related to muscle development were highlighted, showing how this lncRNA regulates muscle growth and apoptosis in bovine skeletal muscle cells.
