Refrigeration is used to retard senescence and extend the storage life of 'Nanguo' pears, but fruits subjected to long-term refrigeration are prone to pericarp browning during subsequent shelf life. To uncover the potential effects of membrane lipid changes during fruit pericarp browning, changes in fruit appearance and cell ultrastructure were observed after different storage durations. Membrane lipid content as well as the activity and gene expression of enzymes involved in membrane lipid metabolism and membrane stability were analyzed. Results showed that long-term refrigeration increased the activity and expression of PLD, LOX, lipase, and membrane stability-related genes that promoted membrane lipid degradation and peroxidation, reduced membrane lipid unsaturation, and led to severe browning. Overall, membrane instability induced by disordered membrane lipid metabolism under low temperature stress may account for pericarp browning of cold stored 'Nanguo' pears.

Background: Neuronal cholesterol deficiency may contribute to the synaptopathy observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Intact synaptic vesicle (SV) mobility is crucial for normal synaptic function, whereas disrupted SV mobility can trigger the synaptopathy associated with AD.

Platelet aggregation and inflammation play a crucial role in atherothrombosis. Wine contains micro-constituents of proper quality and quantity that exert cardioprotective actions, partly through inhibiting platelet-activating factor (PAF), a potent inflammatory and thrombotic lipid mediator. However, wine cannot be consumed extensively due to the presence of ethanol.

Sulfatides or 3-O-sulfogalactosylceramide are negatively charged sulfated glycosphingolipids abundant in the brain and kidneys and play crucial roles in nerve impulse conduction and urinary pH regulation. Sulfatides are present in the liver, specifically in the biliary tract. Sulfatides are self-lipid antigens presented by cholangiocytes to activate cluster of differentiation 1d (CD1d)-restricted type II natural killer T (NKT) cells.

Phages MuffinTheCat, Badulia, DesireeRose, Bee17, SCoupsA, and LuzDeMundo were purified from environmental samples by students participating in the Science Education Alliance Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science (SEA-PHAGES) program at Alliance University, New York. The phages have linear dsDNA genomes 15,438-15,636 bp with 112-120 bp inverted terminal repeats.

They have the same membrane composition and characteristics as primitive cells, which enables them to penetrate cells and tissues efficiently. These OMVs exhibit excellent membrane stability, immunogenicity, safety, and permeability (which makes it easier for them to penetrate into tumour tissue), making them suitable for developing cancer vaccines and drug delivery systems.
