Microglia take on an altered morphology during chronic opioid treatment. This morphological change is broadly used to identify the activated microglial state associated with opioid side effects, including tolerance and opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). Microglia display similar morphological responses in the spinal cord after peripheral nerve injury (PNI).

- Understanding insecticide resistance in Myzus persicae (green peach-potato aphid) is crucial for creating effective control strategies, particularly against neonicotinoids.
- The study identified that resistance arises from two key mechanisms: metabolic resistance linked to P450 enzyme overexpression and a specific genetic mutation (R81T), with a significant interaction between these factors enhancing resistance levels.
- Different genotypes of the R81T mutation show variability in resistance, indicating that multiple mechanisms must be considered together to fully explain resistance phenotypes.
Fungal pathogens cause devastating disease in crops. Understanding the evolutionary origin of pathogens is essential to the prediction of future disease emergence and the potential of pathogens to disperse. The fungus Pyrenophora teres f.

NTSR involves differential regulation of plant secondary metabolism pathways, but its precise genetic determinisms remain fairly unclear. Full-transcriptome sequencing had previously been implemented to identify NTSR genes.
