The innate immune response involves a concerted network of induced gene products,
preformed immune effectors, biochemical signalling cascades and specialised cells …

The mucosal immune system of fish is a complex network of immune cells and molecules
that are constantly surveilling the environment and protecting the host from infection. A …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs involved in various biological processes,
including immunity. Previously, we investigated the miRNAs of half-smooth tongue sole …

Furunculosis caused by Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida is an epidemic disease
among salmonids, including rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). However, the immune …

This study investigated the effects of dietary riboflavin on the growth, gill immunity, tight
junction proteins, antioxidant system and related signaling molecules mRNA expression of …

Background Yersinia ruckeri is a pathogen that can cause enteric redmouth disease in
salmonid species, damaging global production of economically important fish including …

This study firstly explored the possible effects of dietary histidine on structural integrity and
the related signaling factor gene expression in the gills of fish. Young grass carp …

The gills of fish are a mucosal tissue that contains T cells involved in the recognition of non-
self and pathogens, and in this work we describe some features of gill-associated T cells of …

Caspases are highly conserved cysteine-dependent aspartyl-specific proteases that play an
important role in regulating cell death and inflammation. However, the caspase genes have …

Seasonal water temperatures can be stressful for fish in aquaculture and can therefore
negatively influence their welfare. Although the kidney is the crucial organ associated with …
