Descurainia sophia is widely distributed in China and is one of the most troublesome annual weeds. It has diverse medicinal usage. D. sophia has abundant oil, making it an important oil plant in China. The main goal of this study was to obtain the maximum yield of the oil by an optimal selection of supercritical fluid extraction parameters. According to the central composite design and response surface methodology for supercritical fluid extraction method, a quadratic polynomial model was used to predict the yield of D. sophia seed oil. A series of runs was performed to assess the optimal extraction conditions. The results indicated that the extraction pressure had the greatest impact on oil yield within the range of the operating conditions studied. A total of approximately 67 compounds were separated in D. sophia seed oil by GC-MS, of which 51 compounds represented 98.21% of the total oils, for the first time. This study was also aimed at evaluating the anti-asthmatic, anti-tussive and expectorant activities in vivo of D. sophia seed oil which supplied for further research on bioactive constituents and pharmacological mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on predicting the spread of pathology in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) to improve early diagnosis and intervention, utilizing the Network Diffusion Model (NDM) to analyze brain atrophy in patients.
- Researchers examined various FTD subtypes, finding four main epicenters of atrophy, with significant correlations between NDM predictions and actual longitudinal changes observed in patients over 24 months.
- Results highlighted the progression patterns of different FTD variants, with notable early involvement in specific brain regions and varying effects on atrophy depending on the subtype, particularly in semantic-variant PPA and semantic behavioral variant FTD.

Article Synopsis
- L. Webb ex Prantl is widely used in traditional medicine but lacks an effective genetic transformation system for research and application.
- This study presents a new, efficient method for genetic transformation that involves dipping inflorescences in a specific solution for 45 seconds, leading to successful plant transformations.
- The method also incorporates CRISPR/Cas9 for targeted genome editing, enabling the creation of mutant plants with a specific trait in just 2.5 months.
Synthesis of 2'-formamidonucleoside phosphoramidites for suppressing the seed-based off-target effects of siRNAs.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on synthesizing 2'-formamidonucleoside phosphoramidite derivatives and using them in siRNA to minimize seed-based off-target effects.
- All four nucleoside variants (A, G, C, U) were created from commercial compounds, showing a slight reduction in thermodynamic stability but maintaining the essential A-form structure.
- The introduction of these derivatives caused some decrease in on-target RNA interference (RNAi) activity when placed in specific positions, yet they significantly reduced off-target effects while preserving on-target activity when used in other positions.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a highly prevalent and aggressive malignancy, with mortality rates reaching 60%, mainly due to its excessive diagnostic delay. MiRNAs, a class of crucial epigenetic gene-expression regulators, have emerged as potential diagnostic biomarkers, with >200 molecules exhibiting expressional dysregulation in OSCC. We had previously established an in silico methodology for the identification of the most disease-specific molecules by bridging genetics and epigenetics.
