Key Finding
Transcriptomic comparisons revealed depot-specific microenvironments: PM was enriched with myogenic-related pathways, SAT with immune and inflammatory responses, and VAT with pro-adipogenic signaling. These findings advance understanding of depot-specific adipogenesis and offer targets to enhance IMF while limiting excessive SAT and VAT, thereby improving both meat quality and production efficiency.
Countstar Connection
The research obtained cell-count and viability measurements from the study's cell samples using Countstar Rigel S2 before single-cell analysis for the study's single-cell analysis.
