National Natural Foundation of China Signaling Pathway of Tryptophan Promoting beta-Defensin Expression in Intestinal Mucosa of Weaned Piglets and Its Defense Mechanism against Pathogenic Escherichia Coli
This project aims to reveal the key proteins and pathways that mediate tryptophan to promote BD expression in porcine small intestinal epithelial cells. To elucidate the defense mechanism of tryptophan promoting the expression of BD in piglet intestinal mucosa against Escherichia coli invasion.
