PSD95 is an abundant scaffolding protein that assembles multiprotein complexes controlling synaptic physiology and behavior. Confocal microscopy has previously shown that PSD95 is enriched in the postsynaptic terminals of excitatory synapses and two-dimensional (2D) super-resolution microscopy further revealed that it forms nanoclusters. In this study, we utilized three-dimensional (3D) super-resolution microscopy to examine the nanoarchitecture of PSD95 in the mouse brain, characterizing the spatial arrangement of over 8 million molecules.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection has emerged as a leading cause of morbidity throughout the world in the last two decades. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has escalated the disease burden further by increasing the number of intravenous (IV) drug abusers and unemployment.

Aim: The present study was done to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on seroprevalence as well as trends during pre, post and pandemic years of coinfection and mono-infections in the Malwa region of Punjab.

Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs have long been integral to global public health initiatives, aiming to safeguard the well-being of both mothers and their offspring. However, amidst the comprehensive approach to physical health, the mental well-being of mothers has often been overlooked, representing a critical gap in these programs. This paper examines the importance of addressing maternal mental health within the framework of MCH programs, highlighting its significance and the repercussions of its neglect.

Genetic improvements of solanaceous crops for quality and stress responsive traits are needed because of the central role vegetables and fruits have in providing nutrients to human diets. Copper amine oxidase (CuAO) encoding genes involved in metabolism of primary/di-amine nitrogenous compounds, play a role in balancing internal nitrogen (N) pools especially when external N supply fluctuates during growth, development and environmental stresses. In the present study, we investigated the occurrence, molecular evolution and possible role(s) of these unknown genes in tomato crops.
