Modification of African classical swine fever p30 protein with magnetic nanoparticles and establishment of a novel rapid detection method.

African swine fever has caused huge losses to the global pig industry. In the absence of effective vaccines, reliable detection methods are crucial. The p30 protein of ASFV is often used as a target for detection due to its high antigenicity in the early stage of virus replication.

Modeling Grid Cell Distortions with a Grid Cell Calibration Mechanism.

The medial entorhinal cortex of rodents is known to contain grid cells that exhibit precise periodic firing patterns based on the animal's position, resulting in a distinct hexagonal pattern in space. These cells have been extensively studied due to their potential to unveil the navigational computations that occur within the mammalian brain and interesting phenomena such as so-called grid cell distortions have been observed. Previous neuronal models of grid cells assumed their firing fields were independent of environmental boundaries.

Network and stoichiometry analysis revealed a fast magnesium and calcium deficiency of mulched .

The imbalanced fertilization and the consequential deterioration on the rhizosphere microbial community (RMC) were two potential reasons for the quick yielding degradation of (Lei-bamboo), a high-value shoot-oriented bamboo. However, most research only focused on nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium; the studies on the dynamics of other nutrients, such as calcium and magnesium; and their driving mechanisms, lags far behind. Thus, Lei-bamboo fields of different mulching and recovery ages were selected to investigate the dynamics of calcium and magnesium in both soil and bamboo tissue, and to explore their relationship to RMC composition and network patterns.

Visualization of argininosuccinate synthetase by analysis: novel insights into citrullinemia type I disorders.

Background: Citrullinemia type I disorders (CTLN1) is a genetic metabolic disease caused by argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS1) gene mutation. To date, the human genome mutation database has documented over 100 variants of the ASS1 gene. This study reported a novel deletion-insertion variant of ASS1 gene and employed various prediction tools to determine its pathogenicity.

MDV-encoded protein kinase U3 phosphorylates WTAP to inhibit transcriptomic mA modification and cellular protein translation.

Marek's disease virus (MDV)-encoded U3 is a highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase in alpha-herpesviruses. In other alpha-herpesviruses, such as pseudorabies virus (PRV), U3 phosphorylates the N6-methyladenosine (mA) methyltransferase Wilms tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP), inhibiting mA modification. However, the role and mechanism of U3-mediated WTAP phosphorylation during MDV infection remain undefined.
