Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the role of plasma lipidomic signatures, particularly lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) species, as potential biomarkers for adolescent obesity.
- A cohort of 103 individuals, divided into overweight/obese and normal weight groups, underwent lipidomic profiling over a median follow-up of 7.1 years, revealing significant associations between specific LPC species and BMI.
- The findings highlight alterations in LPC levels in childhood obesity, suggesting their potential use in identifying metabolic profiles and guiding early preventative interventions.
Article Synopsis
- MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial noncoding RNAs that help regulate human mRNA protein production after transcription, but their relationship with Argonaute (Ago) proteins is more complex than previously thought.
- There is a significant excess of miRNAs compared to Ago proteins in HeLa cells, suggesting that not all miRNAs are directly bound by Agos, leading to the possibility of miRNA-mRNA interactions without Agos.
- While all human Agos can repress these miRNA-mRNA interactions, only Ago2 has the ability to cleave small interfering RNA-mRNA duplexes, indicating a distinct role of Agos in regulating gene expression.

Azo dyes are among the oldest man-made chemicals and they are still widely used in the textile, printing and the food industries. About 10% - 15% of the total dyes used in the industry is released into the environment during the manufacturing and usage. Some dyes and some of their N-substituted aromatic bio-transformation products are toxic and/or carcinogenic and therefore these dyes are considered to be envionmental pollutants and health hazards.

Effect of Fe2 +, H2O2, pH, and contact time on the degradation of the dyes was studied.
