The review aims to examine the neurotoxic effects of arsenic, particularly exploring the roles of glial cells-astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes, amid its widespread environmental contamination and impact on cognitive impairments. It highlights the role of altered neurotrophin and growth factor signaling in disrupting neuronal health and cognitive performance. It elucidates the intricate interactions between oxidative stress, DNA damage, neurotransmitter disruption, and cellular signaling alterations, underscoring the vital importance of the glial cells.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is a prevalent phenomenon that has been proven to be implicated in a wide spectrum of diseases. However, the progressive attenuation of probe signals in response to mtDNA damage within living cells inherently limits the sensitivity and precision of current probes for detecting mtDNA damage. Herein, we employ an innovative organelle signal ratio imaging approach, utilizing the mitochondria-nucleus migration probe MCQ, to achieve unparalleled sensitivity in detecting mtDNA damage in living cells.

Hyalomma ticks are important vectors of pathogens affecting human and animal health. This study aimed to assess the outputs of three molecular markers (16S, 12S rRNA, and COI) for accurate tick species molecular identification, genetic diversity assessment, and phylogenetic positioning of Hyalomma tick specimens from Tunisia. A total of 20 tickspecimens were collected from different hosts including cattle, camels, and turtles in nine Tunisian governorates.

Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive disease, and acquired resistance to chemotherapy remains a significant hurdle in its treatment. mtDNA, crucial for cellular energy production, is prone to mutations at a higher rate than nuclear DNA. These mutations can accumulate and disrupt cellular function; however, mtDNA mutations induced by chemotherapy in esophageal cancer remain unexplored.

The mechanisms underlying the impact of probiotic supplementation on health remain largely elusive. While previous studies primarily focus on the discovery of novel bioactive bacteria and alterations in the microbiome environment to explain potential probiotic effects, our research delves into the role of living Lactiplantibacillus (formerly known as Lactobacillus) and their conditioned media, highlighting that only the former, not dead bacteria, enhance the healthspan of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans).
