This study identifies CSF1R-dependent macrophage subpopulations in chickens and shows their critical role in B cell development and function.

This study compares the caecal microbiota of XCR1 knockout chickens with and without IBV vaccination, finding that vaccination, not XCR1 absence, significantly alters microbiota composition.

The paper presents a single-nucleus atlas of immune and non-immune cell types in chicken immune organs, revealing transcriptomic diversity and intercellular communication in response to bacterial infection.

The paper identifies widespread transcription initiation at microsatellites across species and develops deep learning models to predict STR-associated transcription and its impact on disease variants.

This study identifies TIM4-expressing mononuclear phagocytes in chickens, distinguishing phagocytic Kupffer cells from non-phagocytic DC-like cells using CSF1R reporters.
