CircMED17 regulates bovine adipogenesis and fat deposition via mediating the proliferation and differentiation of bovine adipocytes.

Fat deposition is a key factor influencing beef quality. Therefore, understanding the regulatory mechanisms of adipogenesis is crucial for improving meat production traits in cattle. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as important post-transcriptional regulators in various biological processes, including adipocyte d...

Circular RNA circNID2 Promotes Bovine Adipogenesis via miR-339a/NNAT

It is demonstrated that circNID2 regulates bovine preadipocyte function through the newly established circNID2/miR-339a/NNAT axis and is highlighted as a potential molecular target for improving fat deposition traits in cattle.

Integrated Analysis of CRY1 Gene Expression and InDel Polymorphism Reveals Associations with Ovarian Morphological Traits in Chinese Holstein Dairy Cattle

The preliminary findings suggest that CRY1 is associated with specific ovarian morphological traits and may serve as a basis for further investigation of its potential role in bovine reproductive function.
