DEHP is a prevalent phthalate with wide industrial applications and well-documented endocrine-disrupting effects, including the potential disruption of AR signaling in different tissues. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of gestational and lactational exposure to environmentally relevant DEHP concentrations on AR expression and subcellular localization in the pituitary gland, the master endocrine organ, with a focus on gonadotroph cells by in vivo and in vitro approaches. After DEHP exposure during gestation and lactation, a sex-specific modulation was detected in AR-positive pituitary cells and AR protein expression as assessed through flow cytometry and western blot.

can modulate host immune mechanisms through excretory-secretory products (ESP). As one of the components of ESP, it is unknown whether Abelson tyrosine protein kinase (Abl) is involved in parasite-host immune interaction. To investigate the immunoregulatory function of Abl in , we cloned and expressed the gigantica Abl protein and assessed its effect on specific immune functions of buffalo peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

Wheat leaf rust caused by () is a prevalent disease worldwide, seriously threatening wheat production. acquires nutrients from host cells via haustoria and secretes effector proteins to modify and regulate the expression of host disease resistance genes, thereby facilitating pathogen growth and reproduction. The study of effector proteins is of great significance for clarifying the pathogenic mechanisms of and effective control of leaf rust.

The exocyst complex in eukaryotic cells modulates secretory vesicle transportation to promote exocytosis. The exocyst is also required for the hyphal growth and pathogenic development of several filamentous phytopathogens. Obligate biotrophic powdery mildew fungi cause considerable damage to many cash crops; however, the exocyst's roles in this group of fungi is not well studied.

Background: Diabetes-associated dry eye syndrome (DMDES) affects 20-54 % of diabetes, leading to ocular irritation and blurry vision. Decreased conjunctival goblet cell mucus secretion is one of the major pathological processes of DMDES. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of mucus granule maturation and secretion disturbance in DMDES.
