Genome-wide identification of phasiRNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana, and insights into biogenesis, temperature sensitivity, and organ specificity.

The knowledge of biogenesis and target regulation of the phased small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) needs continuous update, since the phasiRNA loci are dynamically evolved in plants. Here, hundreds of phasiRNA loci of Arabidopsis thaliana were identified in distinct tissues and under different temperature. In flowers, most of the 24-nt loci are RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 2 (RDR2)-dependent, while the 21-nt loci are RDR6-dependent.

Perceptions of Chinese women with a history of gestational diabetes regarding health behaviors and related factors: a directed qualitative content analysis.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common metabolic disorders during pregnancy and is associated with adverse outcomes in both mothers and their children. After delivery, women who experience GDM are also at higher risk of both subsequent GDM and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than those who do not. Therefore, healthcare providers and public health practitioners need to develop targeted and effective interventions for GDM.

Immunosuppressants exert antiviral effects against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus via inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis, mRNA splicing, and protein stability.

Influenza A virus (IAV) poses a threat to patients receiving immunosuppressive medications since they are more susceptible to infection with severe symptoms, and even death. Understanding the direct effects of immunosuppressants on IAV infection is critical for optimizing immunosuppression in these patients who are infected or at risk of influenza virus infection. We profiled the effects of 10 immunosuppressants, explored the antiviral mechanisms of immunosuppressants, and demonstrated the combined effects of immunosuppressants with the antiviral drug oseltamivir in IAV-infected cell models.

[The role of natural killer cells in anti-infection and tumor therapy].

Natural killer (NK) cells are an important part of the body's innate immune system. As the first line of defense against pathogens, they need to be transformed into a mature state under the control of various cell signaling molecules and transcription factors to play cytotoxic and immune regulatory roles. Under the interaction of activated receptors and inhibitory receptors, NK cells are activated to perform a direct cell killing effect by secreting perforin and granzyme, or indirectly eliminate pathogenic microorganisms in the body by secreting various cytokines, such as type I and type II interferons.

An Innovative model of magnetically intercalated expanded graphite for calculating radar attenuation performance at 2-18 GHz.

With the emergence of various filtering technologies, the radar jamming efficiency of the technology based on radar cross section is ever lower, therefore cannot meet military requirements. In this context, the jamming technology based on attenuation mechanism has been developed and plays an increasingly important role in disturbing radar detecting. Magnetically expanded graphite (MEG) has excellent attenuation efficiency because it can cause dielectric loss as well as magnetic loss.

Creating and maintaining a high-confidence microRNA repository for crop research: A brief review and re-examination of the current crop microRNA registries.

miRBase was established as an authoritative microRNA (miRNA) database with a uniform nomenclature system and a searchable web interface. Recent popularization of the next-generation sequencing technology in small RNA cloning led to an explosive growth of the miRNA repository. Although a specific definition system has been proposed for the plant miRNAs, the quality of the plant miRNA registries deposited in miRBase is largely dependent on the submitters.
