Cardiac fibrosis is evident even in the situation without a significant cardiomyocyte loss in diabetic cardiomyopathy and a high glucose (HG) level independently activates the cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and promotes cell proliferation. Mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, which are key for cell proliferation and the mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs), are critically involved in this process. However, the roles and the underlying mechanism of MAMs in the proliferation of HG-induced CFs are largely unknown.

- Moringa oleifera shows great potential for oil and forage production, but there is a need for better genetic improvement strategies, particularly focusing on important agronomical traits.
- Researchers identified 18 candidate reference genes to accurately measure gene expression in M. oleifera, testing them across various plant tissues and under different stress conditions.
- The study concluded that ribosomal protein L1 (RPL1) and acyl carrier protein 2 (ACP2) are the best reference genes for this species, emphasizing the importance of using multiple reference genes for reliable data in RT-qPCR studies.
