With formaldehyde as the major source of endogenous N⁶-formyllysine protein adducts, we quantified endogenous and exogenous N⁶-formyllysine in the nasal epithelium of rats exposed by inhalation to 0.7, 2, 5.8, and 9.1 ppm [¹³C²H₂]-formaldehyde using liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry. Exogenous N⁶-formyllysine was detected in the nasal epithelium, with concentration-dependent formation in total as well as fractionated (cytoplasmic, membrane, nuclear) proteins, but was not detected in the lung, liver, or bone marrow. Endogenous adducts dominated at all exposure conditions, with a 6 h 9.1 ppm formaldehyde exposure resulting in one-third of the total load of N⁶-formyllysine being derived from exogenous sources. The results parallel previous studies of formaldehyde-induced DNA adducts.

RrUNE12 binds to the RrGGP2 promoter to facilitate biosynthesis of AsA in Rosa roxburghii fruit. Furthermore, RrUNE12 upregulates antioxidant-related genes and maintains ROS homeostasis, thereby improving tolerance to salt stress. L-ascorbic acid (AsA) plays an essential role in stress defense as a major antioxidant in plant cells.

Background: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) can enter patients' circulation through exogenous sources, such as enteral nutrition formulae. Circulating AGEs, specifically carboxymethyllysine, can promote insulin resistance and activation of pro-inflammatory pathways leading to oxidative stress, cell death, and organ failure. Suboptimal kidney function increases the risk of elevated circulating AGEs because levels are controlled through urinary excretion.

Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (hRSV) is a major cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI) in infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. The recent approval of recombinant protein-based hRSV vaccines represents significant progress in combating hRSV. However, these vaccines utilized optimized preF ectodomain attached with an exogenous trimeric motif, which may induce immunological complications.

Indigenous chicken breeds have a large market share in China due to their superior production traits, including high meat quality and disease resistance. Yunnan Province is recognized as a major source of domestic chickens globally and boasts a diverse array of indigenous chicken resources. Avian leukosis virus (ALV) induces various tumors and immunosuppression, endangering the poultry industry.

Nitric oxide (NO) positively contributes to maintaining a high photosynthetic rate in waterlogged-wheat plants by maintaining high stomatal conductance (g), mesophyll conductance (g), and electron transport rates in PSII (J). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the synergistic regulation of photosynthetic characteristics during wheat waterlogging remain unclear. Pot experiments were conducted with two cultivars: Yangmai15 (YM15: high waterlogging-tolerance capacity) and Yangmai24 (YM24: conventional waterlogging-tolerance capacity).
