Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how developmental changes affect peroxisome activity, focusing on gene expression patterns in specific metabolic pathways across developmental stages in plants.
  • It finds that photorespiration is more prominent in adult leaves compared to juvenile stages, with additional pathways related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and polyamine catabolism becoming more active as leaves mature.
  • Key genes, including those related to GABA synthesis, are upregulated in older seedlings, suggesting that GABA plays a role in regulating peroxisome fission during leaf differentiation.

The target article argues that embodied cognitive neuroscience converges on a mechanistic approach to explanation. We argue that it does not. Even some of the article's for embodied cognitive neuroscience are explicitly non- or anti-mechanistic.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how autophagy, a process for recycling cellular components, may have been inadvertently favored in wheat breeding for better yield in dry environments.
  • Researchers tested this by examining responses of wheat strains to heat and drought, focusing on three key proteins associated with autophagy: ATG7, ATG8, and NBR1.
  • Results showed that certain wheat genotypes displayed increased autophagic activity and better yields, while others showed less autophagy, highlighting that different stress-resilient mechanisms may also play a role in crop performance.

The presence of basal lineage characteristics signifies hyperaggressive human adenocarcinomas of the breast, bladder and pancreas. However, the biochemical mechanisms that maintain this aberrant cell state are poorly understood. Here we performed marker-based genetic screens in search of factors needed to maintain basal identity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Background: Breast cancer (BRCA) is the most common and leading cause of cancer-related death in women. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA fragments that play a role in regulating gene expression including the cancer-related pathways. Although dysregulation of miR-223 has been demonstrated in recent studies to have prognostic value in various cancers, its diagnostic and prognostic role in BRCA remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • Pancreatic cancer is typically diagnosed at advanced stages, making it essential to identify new diagnostic biomarkers; this study focused on the interaction between the downregulated miR-203 and the upregulated DUSP5 in pancreatic cancer.
  • Bioinformatics tools revealed that DUSP5 is a direct target of miR-203, and experiments showed that increasing miR-203 levels in pancreatic cancer cells led to reduced DUSP5 expression and inhibited cell proliferation and migration.
  • The results indicate that miR-203 may serve as a potential biomarker for pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment by regulating DUSP5's oncogenic activity.

The bulk of evidence has revealed that dysregulated expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays a crucial functional role in cancer biology. However, the mechanistic role of lncRNAs in the initiation, progression and immune landscape of thyroid carcinoma (THCA) still remains largely unknown. This study aimed to explore the significance of H19 in the diagnostic and immune related roles in THCA.

Drought resiliency strategies combine developmental, physiological, cellular, and molecular mechanisms. Here, we compare drought responses in two resilient spring wheat ( genotypes: a well-studied drought-resilient Drysdale and a resilient genotype from the US Pacific North-West Hollis. While both genotypes utilize higher water use efficiency through the reduction of stomatal conductance, other mechanisms differ.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor which has unclear pathobiology. Hence, enlightening the exact molecular mechanism underlying osteosarcoma progression is crucial for developing new treatment strategies. One member of the ARID family of DNA binding proteins is ARID3A that is implicated in osteosarcoma pathogenesis.

Triticum monococcum subsp. monococcum as a first cultivated diploid wheat species possesses desirable agronomic and quality characteristics. Drought and salinity are the most dramatic environmental stress factors that have serious impact on yield and quality of crops; however, plants can use alternative defense mechanisms against these stresses.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumor in children and adolescents. Understanding the basic molecular mechanisms in developing cancer can be helpful in developing alternative treatment strategies. The relationship between dysregulated non-coding RNAs' (ncRNA) expression level and osteosarcoma was detected.

Foreign bodies in maxillary sinuses are unusual clinical conditions, and they can cause chronic sinusitis by mucosal irritation. Most cases of foreign bodies in maxillary sinus are related to iatrogenic dental manipulation and only a few cases with non-dental origin are reported. Oroantral fistulas secondary to dental procedures are the most common way of insertion.
