Next-generation sequencing-based population genetics unravels the evolutionary history of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa in China.

Background: Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Ait.) Hassk. is useful for its ornamental, medicinal, and ecological characteristics, and is considered a "Neglected and Underutilized Crop Species".

Netrin-1 binding to UNC5b improves post-stroke neuronal ferroptosis via AMPK-BACH1 pathway.

Ferroptosis contributes to neuronal destruction after ischemic stroke which may be improved by inhibiting BTB domain and CNC homologue 1 (BACH1), a recently recognized ferroptosis facilitator. Axon guidance molecule netrin-1 (Ntn1) functions in neuroprotection against ischemic insult by engaging into its receptor of uncoordinated-5 homolog B (UNC5b) via adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which potentially binds to BACH1. Whether Ntn1/UNC5b regulates post-stroke ferroptosis through AMPK-BACH1 pathway remains unclear.

Electrochemical Na doping of spent lithium-ion batteries takes on an entirely new look.

Recovered from spent lithium manganate batteries (LiMnO), λ-MnO exhibits a high energy density as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. During the charge-discharge cycles, the discharge specific capacity progressively increases, reaching a maximum of 219.3 mA h g.

Hydrogen sulfide attenuates oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence via the Sirt3/SOD2 signaling pathway in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Background: Senescence significantly participates in shaping the pathobiological process underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Currently, the mechanisms underlying the anti-aging effects within COPD of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are not fully illustrated.

Methods: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was performed on human lung tissue to detect the expression levels of sirtuin 3 (Sirt3), cyclin-dependent kinase 4 inhibitor (P16), and cystathionin gamma lyase (CTH).

Effects of Tai Chi Versus General Aerobic Exercise on Depressive Symptoms and Serum Lipid Levels Among Older Persons With Depressive Symptoms: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Tai Chi, a mindfulness-based aerobic exercise, may alleviate depressive symptoms and improve physiological markers in older adults. However, its distinct effects compared with general aerobic exercise remain unclear. To compare the effects of Tai Chi and general aerobic exercise on depressive symptoms and serum lipid levels in community-dwelling older adults with mild to moderate depression, a randomized controlled trial was conducted.
