A robust, routinely manageable and sensitive RP-HPLC method combined with UV (270 nm) and ESI-MS detection was established for the determination of abundant pertinent phenolic compounds (phytochemicals) from various biological matrices. Phytochemicals were extracted by aqueous methanol (80%), extracts were analysed without further purification. Baseline separation was achieved within 30 min for 19 phytochemicals and excellent sensitivity (6-42 pmol at S/N = 3) was obtained. The identity of the phytochemicals was confirmed with standard compounds and with LC-MS. The repeatabilities for the majority of the phytochemicals ranged between 3% and 6%. The practicability of the method was shown in complex biological matrices by analysing onion and soybean extracts. This generally applicable technique may serve as a valuable tool for a rapid screening and a specific measurement of phytochemicals in food extracts and biological fluids and serve as analytical instrument for future biochemical and physiological studies.

Among emerging pollutants, residuals of phenoxy herbicides, including 2-chloro-4-methylphenoxy acid (MCPA), are frequently detected in non-targeted areas. MCPA can be removed from environmental matrices using biological remediation methods including endophyte-assisted phytoremediation. The interactions between selected plants excreting to the rhizosphere plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) and plant-associated bacteria (incl.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are pivotal in the initiation and progression of complex human diseases and have been identified as targets for small molecule (SM) drugs. However, the expensive and time-intensive characteristics of conventional experimental techniques for identifying SM-miRNA associations highlight the necessity for efficient computational methodologies in this field.

Results: In this study, we proposed a deep learning method called Multi-source Data Fusion and Graph Neural Networks for Small Molecule-MiRNA Association (MDFGNN-SMMA) to predict potential SM-miRNA associations.

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain cancer with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Despite advances in understanding its molecular mechanisms, effective therapeutic strategies remain elusive due to the tumor's genetic complexity and heterogeneity.

Methods: This study employed a comprehensive analysis approach integrating 113 machine learning algorithms with Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the molecular underpinnings of GBM.
