Abstract: Giant pandas subsist almost exclusively on bamboo, a low-nutrient, high-fiber plant. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their dietary adaptation remain unclear. Recent evidence suggests that dietary plant-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) may influence gene regulation across species… read more here.

Abstract: The gut microbiome plays a vital role in host ecological adaptation, especially dietary adaptations. Primates have evolved a variety of dietary and gut physiological structures that are useful to explore the role of the gut… read more here.
