MicroRNAs in Bamboo May Be Rewiring Panda Genes

『V』πšƒ『B』Casts┋
Despite their carnivorous digestive systems, giant pandas thrive on bamboo, and now scientists may have uncovered a key reason why. Researchers found that microRNAs from bamboo enter pandas’ bodies through digestion and help regulate gene expression, potentially shaping their taste preferences and dietary adaptations. These plant-derived molecules may influence senses like smell and taste, allowing [...]
