This paper investigates the role of fatty acid elongases (FAE) in Toxoplasma gondii type II strains, showing their importance for virulence, persistence, and lipid metabolism under stress.

This study develops and characterizes bovine and ovine liver organoids, revealing species-specific differences in immune architecture and metabolic specialization.

The paper develops and characterizes equine gastric organoids as a first in vitro model of the equine gastric epithelium, showing they retain gene expression and can differentiate into specialized cell types.

This study creates a tissue atlas of Cryptosporidium parvum infection in neonatal calves and immunocompromised mice to compare infection patterns and host-parasite interactions.
