SOX13 is a member of the SOX family of transcription factors. SOX proteins play essential roles in development, and some are associated with human genetic diseases. SOX13 maps to a multi-disease locus on chromosome 1q31-32, yet its function is unknown. Here we describe the temporal and spatial expression of SOX13 protein during mouse organogenesis. SOX13 is expressed in the three embryonic cell lineages, suggesting that it may direct various developmental processes. SOX13 is expressed in the developing central nervous system including the neural tube and the developing brain. Expression is also detected in the condensing mesenchyme and cartilage progenitor cells during endochondral bone formation in the limb as well as the somite sclerotome and its derivatives. SOX13 is also detected in the developing kidney, pancreas, and liver as well as in the visceral mesoderm of the extra-embryonic yolk sac and spongiotrophoblast layer of the placenta.

Background: SOX13 is a transcription factor belonging to the SOX family. SOX proteins are critical regulators of multiple cancer progression, and some are known to control carcinogenesis. Nevertheless, the functional and clinical significance of SOX13 in human thyroid cancer (THCA) remain largely unelucidated.

Breeding animals to produce more robust and disease-resistant pig populations becomes a complementary strategy to the more conventional methods of biosecurity and vaccination. The objective of this study was to explore the ability of a panel of genetic markers and immunity parameters to predict the survival rates during a natural PRRSV outbreak. Ten-week-old female Duroc pigs (n = 129), obtained from 61 sows and 20 boars, were naturally infected with a highly pathogenic PRRSV genotype 1 strain.

Meat and its derivatives serve as crucial sources of protein, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients for humans. Pork stands as China's primary animal-derived food product consumed widely across diverse dietary structures; evaluating intramuscular fat content becomes pivotal in assessing its quality standards. Nonetheless, the intricate molecular mechanisms governing intramuscular fat deposition remain elusive.

Background: Adipogenic differentiation stands as a crucial pathway in the range of differentiation options for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), carrying significant importance in the fields of regenerative medicine and the treatment of conditions such as obesity and osteoporosis. However, the exact mechanisms that control the adipogenic differentiation of MSCs are not yet fully understood.

Materials And Methods: We procured datasets, namely GSE36923, GSE80614, GSE107789, and GSE113253, from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.
