合成生物学在宠物行业中的应用进展OA

Synthetic biology,an emerging interdisciplinary field integrating genetic engineering,protein engineering,and metabolic engineering,is revolutionizing traditional industrial paradigms across pharmaceuticals,food,energy,and materials.Concurrently,evolving socioeconomic conditions and lifestyle changes have led to the growing popularity of companion animals particularly cats and dogs in urban households,owing to their demonstrated psychological benefits,including anxiety relief and stress reduction.This trend has spurred the development of specialized markets,including pet food and nutrition,healthcare,and genetic breeding,which are emerging as significant drivers for global economic growth.Notably,China still exhibits significant gaps in fundamental research and technological applications in this field compared to international advanced levels.Thus,this review systematically summarizes the synthetic biology applications in the pet industry,highlighting breakthrough achievements in pet nutrition,medical health,and genetic disease prevention.These findings aim to provide theoretical foundations and technological pathways for scientific innovation and sustainable development of the pet industry in China.
