Methamphetamine is a widely abused drug associated with significant neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, mainly through the activation of glial cells and neurons in the central nervous system. This study investigates the role of the astrocyte-specific NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 6 (NLRP6) inflammasome in methamphetamine-induced astrocytic pyroptosis and neuroinflammation. Our findings demonstrate that methamphetamine exposure induces NLRP6-dependent pyroptosis, astrocyte activation, and the release of proinflammatory cytokines in mouse primary astrocytes.

Sperm navigation through the complex microarchitecture of the fallopian tube is essential for successful fertilization. Spatiotemporal structural alteration due to folded epithelium or muscle contractions in the fallopian tube changes the geometry of the sperm pathways. The role of structural complexity in sperm navigational patterns has been investigated for single sperm cells but has not been fully addressed at the population level.

Quorum sensing controls numerous processes ranging from the production of virulence factors to biofilm formation. Biofilms, communities of bacteria that are attached to one another and/or a surface, are common in nature, and when they form, they can produce a quorum of bacteria. One model system to study biofilms is the bacterium , which forms a biofilm that promotes the colonization of its symbiotic host.

The construction of dams to intercept natural rivers constitutes the most severe human activity influencing the underlying surface. This study focuses on four cascade reservoirs of the Lancang River and explores their impact on the migration of organic matter in sediments. The research reveals significant spatial variations in total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen concentrations in the sediments of the four reservoirs.

Background: Silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is a basal fish species with sexual monomorphism, while its sex determination mechanism has been poorly understood, posing a significant challenge to its captive breeding efforts.
Results: We constructed two high-quality chromosome-level genome assemblies for both female and male silver arowana, with scaffold N50 values over 10 Mb. Combining re-sequencing data of 109 individuals, we identified a female-specific region, which was localized in a non-coding region, i.
