Systematic assessment of transcriptomic and metabolic reprogramming by blue light exposure coupled with aging.

The prevalent use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has caused revolutionary changes in modern life, but the potential hazards to health of blue light are poorly understood. N-methyladenosine (mA) is the most prevalent posttranscriptional modification in eukaryotes and can modulate diverse physiological processes by regulating mRNA fate. Here, to understand the effects and molecular mechanisms of daily low-intensity blue light exposure (BLE) and ascertain whether mA methylation plays a role in BLE-induced phenotypes, we constructed a series of models under different durations of daily low-intensity BLE and obtained multiomics profiles.

A β-glucan from Grifola frondosa effectively delivers therapeutic oligonucleotide into cells via dectin-1 receptor and attenuates TNFα gene expression.

Grifola frondosa is an edible and medicinal mushroom with great nutritional values and bioactivities. In the present study, a soluble homogeneous β-glucan, GFPS, with high molecular mass of 5.42 × 10 Da was purified from the fruit bodies of Grifola frondosa using 5% cold NaOH.
