The changes in subcellular localization of metallothionein (MT) during differentiation were studied in two muscle cell lines, L6 and H9C2, myoblasts in order to understand the nuclear presence of MT and its antiapoptotic property. In myoblasts, MT and zinc were localized mainly in the cytoplasm but were translocated into the nucleus of newly formed myotubes during early stage of differentiation, which was initiated by lowering FBS from 10% to 1%. In fully differentiated myotubes, metallothionein content was decreased with a cytoplasmic localization. These changes in subcellular localization of MT and Zn were accompanied by increased apoptosis in myotubes. The changes in the apoptosis at different stages of differentiation were measured by both DNA ladder formation and TUNEL technique. The results also show that the apoptosis may be initiated by free radical generation and may be accompanied by p53 expression. The H9C2 cells contained high levels of MT, differentiated slowly, and had low incidence of apoptotic bodies compared to L6 cell line.

Background: Protein palmitoylation, a critical posttranslational modification, plays an indispensable role in various cellular processes, including the regulation of protein stability, mediation of membrane fusion, facilitation of intracellular protein trafficking, and participation in cellular signaling pathways. It is also implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases, such as cancer, neurological disorders, inflammation, metabolic disorders, infections, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, its regulatory effects on sperm physiology, particularly motility, remain unclear.

Background: Pathological regression grade after chemotherapy evaluated by surgically resected specimens is closely related with prognosis. Since usefulness of measuring the area of the residual tumor (ART) has been reported, this study aimed to evaluate the utility of ART in predicting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (GC) who received preoperative chemotherapy.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study examined the relationship between ART and survival outcomes.
Insights of cellular and molecular changes in sugarcane response to oxidative signaling.

Significant changes in the proteome highlight essential metabolic adaptations for development and oxidative signaling induced by the treatment of young sugarcane plants with hydrogen peroxide. These adaptations suggest that hydrogen peroxide acts not only as a stressor but primarily as a signaling molecule, triggering specific metabolic pathways that regulate growth and plant resilience. Sugarcane is a crucial crop for sugar and ethanol production, often influenced by environmental signals.

On acidified soil, the growth of Eucalyptus is seriously restricted by aluminum (Al) stress. Therefore, breeding Eucalyptus species with excellent Al tolerance, developing the genetic potential of species, and improving tolerance to Al stress are important for the sustainable development of artificial Eucalyptus forests. By observing the occurrence and distribution of the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in root tips of Eucalyptus seedlings under Al stress, this study analyzed change in the growth and physiological indexes of Eucalyptus seedlings under Al stress.

Self-supported ultrathin PtRuMoCoNi high-entropy alloy nanowires (HEANWs) were synthesized by a one-pot co-reduction method, whose peroxidase (POD)-like activity and catalytic mechanism were elaborated in detail. As expected, the PtRuMoCoNi HEANWs showed excellent POD-like activity. It can quickly catalyze the oxidization of colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue TMB through decomposition of HO to superoxide radicals.
