Transcriptomic Analysis of Laying Hens Revealed the Role of Aging-Related Genes during Forced Molting
7 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
Molting in birds provides us with an ideal genetic model for understanding aging and rejuvenation since birds present younger characteristics for reproduction and appearance after molting. Forced molting (FM) by fasting in chickens causes aging of their reproductive system and then promotes cell redevelopment by providing water and feed again. To reveal the genetic mechanism of rejuvenation, we detected blood...
