At the initial stages of an adaptive response the transposition of the homologous chromosome loci from the peripheral parts of the nucleus and their approach happens. It is necessary for the repair of DNA double strand breaks in the process of the homologous recombination. Was shown that the chromosome loci transposition and accompanied by the nucleolus activities took place first in the irradiated (X-rays, 10 cGy) G0-lymphocytes, and then in the intact (bystander) cells incubated in the growth medium of irradiated lymphocytes. If there is a bystander effect the quantity of irradiated cells may be three order less than the bystander cells that affirms the great capacity of stress-signalization system. Moreover, the DNA fragments (the factors of stress signaling) were obtained from the growth medium supernatant of the irradiated and of the intact lymphocytes. In other independent experiments they were inoculated into the growth medium of recipient cells. Was demonstrated that there is loci transposition of homologous chromosomes loci and of nucleus activity after introducing the DNA fragments of irradiated cells. After introducing the DNA fragments of non-irradiated cells the both effects were not observed. In the work the characteristics of the obtained factors and the possible ways of stress signaling between the irradiated and the bystander lymphocytes were discussed.

Reduced expression of nucleolar genes induces stress and DNA damage. Here, we present a protocol to analyze DNA fragmentation at the single-cell level in Drosophila imaginal discs using an optimized alkaline comet assay. We describe steps for larvae development, tissue disaggregation, and single-cell dissociation.

Understanding the genetic factors that influence meat yield is crucial due to the economic importance of average daily live weight gain (ADWG) in livestock. This study investigates the relationship between the c.*188G>A SNP in the 3'-UTR region of the akirin 2 gene and growth traits in Zavot cattle, focusing on the gene's role in muscle development.

Considering that fungi display a great morphological, ecological, metabolic, and phylogenetic diversity, their taxonomic identification is extremely important because it helps us establish important information about each species and its possible biochemical and ecological roles. Traditionally, the identification of fungi at the species level has been carried out with molecular tools such as DNA sequencing, but it still represents a huge challenge today due to the heterogeneity of the fungal kingdom, making the task of identification a complex and difficult process. Biotyping, a type of chemotaxonomy, has been developed in the field of the identification/differentiation and classification of micro-fungi through tools such as mass spectrometry (MS).

Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) has emerged as a potent bioactive compound with proven efficacy in wound healing, tissue regeneration, and anti-inflammatory applications and is predominantly derived from salmonid gonads. However, this study presents a groundbreaking advancement by successfully extracting and characterizing PDRN from microbial sources, specifically , marking the first report to utilize microbial-, biome-, or -derived PDRN (L-PDRN). The findings demonstrate the enhanced biological properties of L-PDRN over traditional salmon-derived PDRN across several assays.
