This study uses genetic biosensors to visualize calcium signaling dynamics in macrophages, revealing mechanosensitivity and the effects of Piezo1 channel ablation.

The paper detects a single instance of host-to-tumour horizontal DNA transfer in canine transmissible venereal tumour, showing a 15-megabase genetic element from a dog with Middle Eastern ancestry.

This study evaluates the male ovine mammary gland microenvironment, comparing intact and neutered males, and demonstrates its utility as a model for male breast biology.

The paper examines pSTAT3 expression in murine and bovine mammary glands around birth, finding non-random clustering of pSTAT3-positive cells in alveoli.

This study examines the dynamic immune microenvironment during sheep mammary gland development, identifying distinct phases of macrophage and lymphocyte activity and tertiary lymphoid structures.

This study maps the distribution of macrophages in mouse mammary glands across developmental stages using 3D imaging, revealing stage-specific variations and sexual dimorphism.

Disruption of the Dexi gene accelerates diabetes in NOD mice and alters serum immunoglobulins, gut microbiome, and microbial metabolites.
