Resveratrol alleviates depression-like behaviors by inhibiting ferroptosis via AKT/NRF2 pathway.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is common, and successful treatment remains challenging. Resveratrol, a naturally occurring polyphenol, has been shown to alleviate depression-like behaviors, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We previously developed a new model of depression by inducing hippocampal ferroptosis in rats, suggesting that ferroptosis may be involved in the development of MDD.

ADT Network: A Novel Nonlinear Method for Decoding Speech Envelopes From EEG Signals.

Decoding speech envelopes from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals holds potential as a research tool for objectively assessing auditory processing, which could contribute to future developments in hearing loss diagnosis. However, current methods struggle to meet both high accuracy and interpretability. We propose a deep learning model called the auditory decoding transformer (ADT) network for speech envelope reconstruction from EEG signals to address these issues.

De novo assembly and comprehensive analysis of the mitochondrial genome of Taxus wallichiana reveals different repeats mediate recombination to generate multiple conformations.

Taxus plants are the exclusive source of paclitaxel, an anticancer drug with significant medicinal and economic value. Interspecies hybridization and gene introgression during evolution have obscured distinctions among Taxus species, complicating their phylogenetic classification. While the chloroplast genome of Taxus wallichiana, a widely distributed species in China, has been sequenced, its mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) remains uncharacterized.

REEP5 mediates the function of CLEC5A to alleviate myocardial infarction by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis.

MI (myocardial infarction) often triggers severe heart failure and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Receptor expression-enhancing protein 5 (REEP5), a member of REEPs, acts as regulators of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) affecting cardiac functions. Based on GSE114695 profile data, REEP5 was decreased in the left ventricle of MI mice.

Ultraviolet attenuates centromere-mediated meiotic genome stability and alters gametophytic ploidy consistency in flowering plants.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation influences development and genome stability in organisms; however, its impact on meiosis, a special cell division essential for the delivery of genetic information across generations in eukaryotes, has not yet been elucidated. In this study, by performing cytogenetic studies, we reported that UV radiation does not damage meiotic chromosome integrity but attenuates centromere-mediated chromosome stability and induces unreduced gametes in Arabidopsis thaliana. We showed that functional centromere-specific histone 3 (CENH3) is required for obligate crossover formation and plays a role in the protection of sister chromatid cohesion under UV stress.

The investigation of dysregulated visual perceptual organization in adults with autism spectrum disorders with phase-amplitude coupling and directed connectivity.

Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) has been used as a powerful tool to understand the mechanism underlying neural binding by investigating neural synchrony across different frequency bands. This study examined the possibility that dysregulated alpha-gamma modulation may be crucially involved in aberrant brain functioning in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Magnetoencephalographic data were recorded from 13 adult participants with ASD and 16 controls.

FAM83B regulates mitochondrial metabolism and anti-apoptotic activity in pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

Chemotherapy is an effective therapeutic modality; nevertheless, a significant proportion of patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) demonstrate resistance to chemotherapy. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the potential regulatory mechanisms to develop novel treatment strategies. This study aims to understand how increased FAM83B expression impacts mitochondrial activity, cell apoptosis, and chemotherapy effectiveness in LUAD.

A word of caution: T-DNA-associated mutagenesis in plant reproduction research.

T-DNA transformation is prevalent in Arabidopsis research and has expanded to a broad range of crops and model plants. While major progress has been made in optimizing the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation process for various species, a variety of pitfalls associated with the T-DNA insertion may lead to the misinterpretation of T-DNA mutant analysis. Indeed, secondary mutagenesis either on the integration site or elsewhere in the genome, together with epigenetic interactions between T-DNA inserts or frequent genomic rearrangements, can be tricky to differentiate from the effect of the knockout of the gene of interest.

Research progress of the effective active ingredients of Astragalus mongholicus in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most prevalent consequences of diabetes, with a high incidence and disability rate. The DPN's pathogenesis is extremely complex and yet to be fully understood. Persistent high glucose metabolism, nerve growth factor deficiency, microvascular disease, oxidative stress, peripheral nerve cell apoptosis, immune factors, and other factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of DPN.

A highly efficient liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay for etomidate and etomidate acid in urine, liver and kidney.

Etomidate (ETO) is a highly-efficient drug that can induce anesthesia with increasing doses, thus subject to strict regulation. However, an accurate and efficient method for ETO intake detection is currently lacking. Therefore, this study developed a straightforward sample preparation method using LC-MS/MS to analyze ETO and its primary metabolite, etomidate acid (ETA), in urine, liver, and kidney samples.

Effects of slight shading in summer on the leaf senescence and endogenous hormone and polyamine contents in herbaceous peony.

Herbaceous peony is a perennial root plant that likes light and is cold-resistant. During summer, high temperature and strong light intensity advance its entry into the leaf wilting stage, which limits the accumulation of nutrients and formation of strong buds and severely affects its growth and development the following year. In this study, the wild herbaceous peony species and two main cultivars, 'Zifengyu' and 'Hongfengyu', were subjected to slight shading and strong light environments in summer, and their effects on leaf senescence and endogenous hormone and polyamine contents were explored.
