Insects have highly developed olfactory systems in which cytochrome P450s (CYPs) were involved as odor-degrading enzymes throughout the olfactory recognition of odor compounds by insects to avoid continuous stimulation of signaling molecules and thus damage to the olfactory nervous. To understand whether the highly expressed CYPs in the antennae play an olfactory function in worker, in this study, we find six highly expressed antennal CYPs from the transcriptome of . Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis divided them into two families: the CYP3 family (, ) and the CYP4 family (, , , ).

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States and globally. Significant advances have been made throughout the history of cardiology and the treatment of this disease; however, these efforts have not halted the alarming statistics. Emerging approaches, such as artificial intelligence applied to cardiac imaging, genetic testing, and genetic silencing, may offer essential additional steps in treating the disease.

Rice (Oryza sativa) is a staple food for billions of people across the globe, that feeds nearly three-quarters of the human population on Earth, particularly in Asian countries. Rice yield has been drastically reduced and severely affected by various biotic and abiotic stresses, especially pathogens. Controlling the attack of such pathogens is a matter of immediate concern as yield losses in rice crops could deprive millions of lives of nourishment worldwide.

Winged parthenogenetic aphids are mainly responsible for migration and dispersal. Aphid alarm pheromone (E)-β-Farnesene (EBF) has dual effects on repelling and stimulating wing differentiation in aphids. Previous studies have shown that the odorant coreceptor SmisOrco is involved in the perception of EBF by S.

Obesity-induced cardiac dysfunction is growing at an alarming rate, showing a dramatic increase in global prevalence. Mitochondrial translocation of miR-181c in cardiomyocytes results in excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production during obesity. ROS causes Sp1, a transcription factor for MICU1, to be degraded via post-translational modification.
