Transcriptional dynamics during the transition from culturable to viable but non-culturable states in Campylobacter jejuni

Abstract Background Campylobacter jejuni is a major foodborne bacterial pathogen that poses substantial global public health challenges. Under environmental stresses, C. jejuni can enter a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state that enables persistence under adverse conditions. D...

Clinical Stage-Specific Alteration of Hsa-miR-424-5p in Milk Small Extracellular Vesicles from Bovine Leukemia Virus Infection to Progression of Enzootic Bovine Leukosis

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an oncogenic retrovirus responsible for enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) in cattle. Previous studies indicated that increased levels of the miRNA hsa-miR-424-5p in milk small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) may serve as an EBL biomarker in cattle; howev...
