Camels, known as the “Ship of the Desert,” play a vital role in the ecosystems and
economies of arid and semi-arid regions. They provide meat, milk, transportation, and other …

The Booroola fecundity mutation (FecB) in Small Tail Han sheep has been shown to
enhance ovulation rates and litter sizes by affecting the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal …

Introduction Dromedary camels robustly withstand dehydration, and the rough desert
environment but the adaptation mechanisms are not well understood. One of these …

Simple Summary The gastrointestinal microbiome plays a significant role in diet digestion
and the energy production of its host. This study investigated the influence of sex on the …

Water conservation is vital for life in the desert. The dromedary camel (Camelus
dromedarius) produces low volumes of highly concentrated urine, more so when water is …

Dehydration, characterized by the loss of total body water and/or electrolytes due to
diseases or inadequate fluid intake, is prevalent globally but often underestimated. Its …

The first camelized mouse model (Nrapc. 255ins78) was developed to explore how camels
adapt to extreme environments. Previous studies showed that these mice exhibit a cold …

Desert animals have evolved systems that enable them to thrive under dry conditions.
Focusing on the kidney, we have investigated the transcriptomic adaptations that enable a …

Compared to other mammals, Arabian camels are ideal models for exploring the structural
adaptations that enable camels to survive in arid environments. Thus, this study aimed to …
