In this study, we present the first spatial transcriptomic atlas of Atlantic salmon skin using the
Visium Spatial Gene Expression protocol. We utilized frozen skin tissue from 4 distinct sites …

In fish, the skin is a multifunctional organ and the first barrier against pathogens. Salmonids
differ in their susceptibility to microorganisms due to varied skin morphology and gene …

The skin of fish is the first line of defense against pathogens and parasites. The skin
transcriptome of the Atlantic salmon is poorly characterized, and currently only 2,089 …

Fish skin serves as the first line of defense against a wide variety of chemical, physical and
biological stressors. Secretion of mucus is among the most prominent characteristics of fish …

Fish skin and their appendages, the mineralized scales, are important organs for protection
and homeostasis, but little is known about their specific transcript or protein repertoire. This …

The skin and associated mucus layer of Atlantic salmon constitutes its first line of defence
against the aqueous environment. Through intensive farming, a range of stressors including …

Fish skin is a multifunctional barrier tissue with high regeneration capacity that interacts with
the surrounding environment and provides protection. Functional importance, high …

From a general structural perspective, a mucosal tissue is constituted by two main matrices:
the tissue and the secreted mucus. Jointly, they fulfill a wide range of functions including the …

The aim of this study was to identify potential mucin genes in the Atlantic salmon genome
and evaluate tissue-specific distribution and transcriptional regulation in response to …

Fish skin is a vital organ that serves a multitude of functions including mechanical protection,
homeostasis, osmoregulation and protection against diseases. The expression of skin …
