Climate-related disasters have been escalating worldwide, incurring major losses. Landslides have become one of the most destructive disasters, especially in China's mountainous areas. To address this, constructing emergency shelters and designing evacuation routes are critical to ensure public safety and minimize impacts on affected residents.

Article Synopsis
  • Extracellular proteases, particularly chitinases from the fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora, aid in nematode infection, yet how microRNAs regulate gene expression in this context is not well understood.
  • Transcriptome sequencing was performed to identify and analyze chitin-responsive microRNAs (miRNAs), revealing that 25 out of 85 novel miRNAs significantly changed expression in response to chitin.
  • Target gene analysis indicated that these differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) are linked to biological processes like biodegradation and cell cycle regulation, while specific interactions, such as the chitinase AOL_s00004g379 being a target of miR_70, were confirmed through dual-luciferase assays.

Typhimurium (STM) is an important zoonotic Gram-negative pathogen that can cause infection in a variety of livestock and poultry. Meanwhile, as an important foodborne pathogen, the bacterium can survive in various stressful environments and transmits through the fecal-oral route, posing a serious threat to global food safety. To investigate the roles of STM1863, a member of the DUFs protein family, involved in STM environmental adaptation, biofilm formation, and virulence.
