We previously found a novel Cd-associated molecule with an apparent molecular weight of 10-50 kDa in common reeds grown in the presence of Cd. The partial structure of this molecule was predicted by enzymatic digestion to release Cd from a trace amount that had been partially purified from the cell sap. The major component was branched α-glucan, whereas a peptide, β-1,4 glucan, and mannose were found as minor components. Uronic acids appeared to provide functional groups that bind Cd.

[BLIRD - a new genetic disease in Holstein cattle in Switzerland].
Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd

Recently, a new hereditary disease, bovine lymphocyte intestinal retention defect (BLIRD), was discovered in Holstein cattle in France and is caused by a variant in the Integrin subunit beta 7 (ITGB7) gene. The altered cell adhesion molecule resulting from this point mutation is responsible for an impaired tissue of CD4 T lymphocytes from the blood to intestinal tissue. The aim of this study was to assess the allelic frequency of this deleterious variant in the local Holstein population and to clinically examine ten BLIRD-affected Holstein cattle from Switzerland in order to characterise the phenotype of this new hereditary disease, which is still unknown to the veterinary community.

Ornamental crops particularly cut flowers are considered sensitive to heavy metals (HMs) induced oxidative stress condition. Melatonin (MLT) is a versatile phytohormone with the ability to mitigate abiotic stresses induced oxidative stress in plants. Similarly, signaling molecules such as hydrogen sulfide (HS) have emerged as potential options for resolving HMs related problems in plants.

Cadmium (Cd) is an important environmental pollutant that poses a threat to human health and represents a critical component of air pollutants, food sources, and cigarette smoke. Cd is a known carcinogen and has toxic effects on the environment and various organs in humans. Heavy metals within an organism are difficult to biodegrade, and those that enter the respiratory tract are difficult to remove.

Background: Janus kinase [JAK] inhibitors [JAKinibs] are effective small molecule therapies for treating Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC], collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. By preventing JAKs from phosphorylating signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins, JAKinibs disrupt cytokine signalling pathways that promote inflammation. Despite considerable overlap in the JAKs they target, first- and second-generation JAKinibs display different clinical efficacies in CD and UC.

Background And Aims: Crohn's disease [CD] has a complex polygenic aetiology with high heritability. There is ongoing effort to identify novel variants associated with susceptibility to CD through a genome-wide association study [GWAS] in large Korean populations.
Methods: Genome-wide variant data from 902 Korean patients with CD and 72 179 controls were used to assess the genetic associations in a meta-analysis with previous Korean GWAS results from 1621 patients with CD and 4419 controls.
