This paper derives and characterizes sheep embryonic stem cells (sESCs) and shows they can transition to an intermediate naive-like pluripotent state under specific culture conditions.

This study identifies fibrocytes as a reprogrammable somatic cell source for bovine iPSCs, showing their molecular identity and successful reprogramming into pluripotent stem cells.

This study uses C. elegans to screen human gut microbiota for colonization and resistance against C. difficile, finding 46% colonization success and 50% in vivo inhibition of C. difficile.
