Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by asymmetric hypertrophy of the ventricles and the ventricular septum, leading to subsequent left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and diastolic dysfunction. Typically, patients with HCM experience sinus tachycardia and sinus arrest relatively infrequently. In addition, the concurrent occurrence of HCM with non-surgically induced (ablation or myectomy) bradyarrhythmia and idiopathic pericardial effusion in adult patients has not been previously reported.

It has been reported that carbonic anhydrase I (CA1) is a target for the diagnosis and therapy of atherosclerosis (AS) since CA1 can promote AS aortic calcification. We also found that methazolamide (MTZ), a drug for glaucoma treatment and an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrases, can treat AS by inhibiting calcification in aortic tissues. This study focused on the therapeutic mechanism of MTZ and the pathogenic mechanism of AS.

Surfactants as synergistic agents are necessary to improve the stability and utilization of pesticides, while their use is often accompanied by unexpected release into the environment. However, there are no efficient strategies available for screening low-toxicity surfactants, and traditional toxicity studies rely on extensive experimentation which are not predictive. Herein, a commonly used agricultural adjuvant Triton X (TX) series was selected to study the function of amphipathic structure to their toxicity in zebrafish.

Article Synopsis
  • Agrichemical losses pose a significant threat to the environment, partly due to the high salt content in some compounds that affects their stability and effectiveness, as well as causing soil hardening.
  • The innovative sodium deoxycholate amphiphilic emulsifier creates stable Janus core-shell emulsions that show improved oil-water interaction, leading to a 37.70% larger deposition area when applied compared to traditional emulsions.
  • This Janus emulsion not only reduces the release rate of harmful substances into soil by forming a protective shell but also enhances the microbial community around it, demonstrating a promising method for improving agrichemical performance while minimizing environmental risks.

Various strategies have been developed to improve the applicability of hydrophobic pesticides for better effectiveness in agriculture. However, existing formulations of hydrophobic pesticides still suffer from complicated processing, abused organic solvents, indispensable surfactants, or inescapable ecotoxicity, which strictly limit their applications. Herein, a dynamic covalent bond tailored pesticide (fipronil) amphiphile is constructed to address the above issues, which accomplishes the nanodispersion, full wetting, and precise delivery without organic solvents, surfactants, and materials simultaneously.

Citrus HLB caused by Liberibacter asiaticus is a pathogen-triggered immune disease. Here, we identified putative genetic determinants of HLB pathogenicity by integrating citrus genomic resources to characterize the pan-genome of accessions that differ in their response to HLB. Genome-wide association mapping and analysis of allele-specific expression between susceptible, tolerant, and resistant accessions further refined candidates underlying the response to HLB.

Folic acid (FA) could improve cognitive performance and attenuate brain cell injury in the aging brain; FA supplementation is also associated with inhibiting neural stem cell (NSC) apoptosis. However, its role in age-associated telomere attrition remains unclear. We hypothesized that FA supplementation attenuates age-associated apoptosis of NSCs in mice via alleviating telomere attrition in senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8).

Hydrogels have been extensively used in agriculture to improve crop yields for their excellent properties. However, they are currently used either as pesticide delivery platforms or water retention agents alone; the combination of these two functions into one agricultural hydrogel formulation has never been reported, which is crucial to promote sustainable development in agriculture. Herein, using poly(β-cyclodextrin) and adamantane-grafted poly(acrylic acid) (PAA-Ada) as the host and guest, respectively, an easy operating, multi-responsive, and safer hydrogel delivery system for insecticides is fabricated by the host-guest interaction between cyclodextrin and adamantane, which can load uniformly dispersed insecticides (fipronil, imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam) up to 60%.
