Characterization of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) in red-spotted grouper (Epinephelus akaara): In vivo and in vitro investigation of its role in the regulation of antiviral immunity and cell death.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) is a key adaptor molecule in tumor necrosis factor receptor signaling complexes, facilitating downstream immune-related signaling cascades. This study aimed to elucidate its function in teleost fish by characterizing the TRAF2 homolog of the red-spotted grouper (Epinephelus akaara, EaTraf2). The open reading frame of EaTraf2 encodes a putative protein of 520 amino acids, containing several characteristic domains of TRAF2.

Molecular depiction and functional delineation of E3 ubiquitin ligase MARCH5 in yellowtail clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii).

Membrane-associated Ring-CH 5 (MARCH5) is a mitochondrial E3 ubiquitin ligase playing a key role in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics. In mammals, MARCH5 negatively regulates mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) protein aggregation during viral infection and hampers downstream type I interferon signaling to prevent excessive immune activation. However, its precise functional role in the teleost immune system remains unclear.

Levodopa Equivalent Daily Dosage: Geographical Variations and Real-Life Modules in Parkinson's Disease.

Background: The Levodopa Equivalent Daily Dosage (LEDD) calculation algorithms help in capturing and harmonization of Parkinson's Disease (PD) therapies. Analyzing these updates is essential for validating their effectiveness.

Objective: To assess updated LEDD conversion factors in capturing the newer therapies in PD and therapy modules in different geographical cohorts.

A comprehensive study on the multifunctional properties of galectin-4 in red-lip mullet (Planiliza haematocheilus): Insights into molecular interactions, antimicrobial defense, and cell proliferation.

Galectin-4 belongs to the galactoside-binding protein family and is a type of tandem repeat galectin. Despite previous studies indicating its importance in fish immunology, a comprehensive investigation is necessary to fully understand its role in immunomodulatory functions and cellular dynamics. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the immunomodulatory functions of galectin-4 with a particular focus on its antimicrobial and cellular proliferative properties.

Consensus statement on Singapore integrated 24-hour activity guide for early childhood.

Introduction: Early childhood is a critical period for growth and development. Adopting healthy lifestyle behaviours during this period forms the foundation for future well-being and offers the best protection against non-communicable diseases. Singapore studies have shown that many young children are not achieving the recommendations on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep.
