Rice tillering determines grain yield, yet the molecular regulatory network is still limited. In this study, we demonstrated that the transcription factor OsMADS60 promotes the expression of the auxin transporter OsPIN5b to affect auxin distribution and inhibit rice tillering and grain yield. Natural variation was observed in the promoter region of OsMADS60, with its expression level negatively correlated with tiller number and inducible by auxin.

Efforts to protect germplasm resources of Fraxinus hupehensis (Oleaceae), an endangered species endemic to Dahong Mountain, Hubei Province, China, are facing difficulties due to the deep dormancy of its seeds. To elucidate the molecular regulatory networks underlying dormancy release, an integrated investigation combining physiological profiling with transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses was performed on seeds of F. hupehensis during six critical germination stages.

Background: A blood-based approach to monitor metastasis and recurrence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains undeveloped. This study aimed to establish a dependable model utilizing cfDNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosines (5hmC) signatures to detect these conditions in ESCC.

Methods: The 5hmC-Seal technique was employed to generate comprehensive 5hmC profiles from the plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) of 122 ESCC patients, classified into 72 with metastasis, 50 without metastasis, 30 with recurrence, and 92 without recurrence.

Background: Increasing unplanned urbanization in tropical Africa may create new niches for malaria vectors, raising transmission risk, yet control efforts focus on rural ecosystems. Understanding mosquito diversity, ecology and biting behaviour in urban areas is crucial for effective control. This study assessed Anopheles diversity, abundance, behaviour, and Plasmodium infection rates in Kisumu city, Kenya.

Background: Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is relatively rare, occurring at a rate of approximately 5%. Primary CNS lymphoma (CNS-DLBCL), a subtype of DLBCL, is rare clinically but highly malignant and invasive. Its atypical clinical symptoms and imaging features contribute to a high rate of misdiagnosis and a poor prognosis.

Background: Identifying the past and future burden of kidney cancer (KC) and its temporal trends among older adults (≥ 65 years) at global, regional, and national levels is critical for effective prevention strategies.

Methods: The age-standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were calculated using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study from 1990 to 2021. These indicators were stratified by sex, age, and socio-demographic index (SDI).

Background: Studies have shown a strong correlation between excess iron and the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), though iron is an essential trace element during pregnancy. This study aims to investigate the precise relationship between iron storage levels during late pregnancy and the development of GDM, trying to find out ways to meet pregnant iron storage requirements and reduce GDM risk simultaneously.

Methods: A non-anemic population consisting of 9,512 healthy singleton pregnant women were included in this study.

Studies have shown that postmenopausal women have more metabolic abnormalities than premenopausal women. No consensus exists on how serum uric acid (sUA) affects metabolism-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in postmenopausal women.This prospective observational study examined this link using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017 to 2020 data.

Leuciscus chuanchicus, a critically endangered cyprinid endemic in the Yellow River, represents an evolutionary significant lineage within Leuciscinae. However, conservation efforts for this species have been hindered by the lack of genetic and genomic resources. Here we reported a high-quality chromosome-level genome of L.

Elevated fasting insulin levels (FI), indicative of altered insulin secretion and sensitivity, may precede type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease onset. In this study, we group FI-associated genetic variants based on their genetic and phenotypic similarities and identify seven clusters with distinct mechanisms contributing to elevated FI levels. Clusters fall into two types: "non-diabetogenic hyperinsulinemia," where clusters are not associated with increased T2D risk, and "diabetogenic hyperinsulinemia," where T2D associations are driven by body fat distribution, liver function, circulating lipids, or inflammation.

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the leading cause of vision-threatening corneal endothelial dystrophy without pharmacologic treatments. Corneal endothelial-mesenchymal transition (cEndMT), a specific cellular phenotypic transition, is implicated in the vicious cycle in FECD pathogenesis. Here, we investigated the reversible epigenetic regulation of N-methyladenosine (mA) during cEndMT process and FECD progression.

Disease tolerance is a host response to infection that limits collateral damage to host tissues while having a neutral effect on pathogen fitness. Previously, we found that the pathogenic lactic acid bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes manipulates disease tolerance using its aerobic mixed-acid fermentation pathway via the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase, but the microbe-derived molecules that mediate communication with the host's disease tolerance pathways remain elusive. Here we show in a murine model that aerobic mixed-acid fermentation inhibits the accumulation of inflammatory cells including neutrophils and macrophages, reduces the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin-10, and delays bacterial clearance and wound healing.

Motile cilia and flagella are evolutionarily conserved organelles, and their defects cause primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a disorder characterized by systemic organ dysfunction. The nexin-dynein regulatory complex (N-DRC) is a crucial structural component of motile cilia and flagella, present across various species from Chlamydomonas to humans. Defects in N-DRC components lead to multiple PCD symptoms, including sinusitis and male infertility.
