Mammalian orthoreoviruses (MRVs) infect almost all mammals, and there are some reports on MRVs in China. In this study, a novel strain was identified, which was designated as HLJYC2017. The results of genetic analysis showed that MRV HLJYC2017 is a reassortant strain. According to biological information analysis, different serotypes of MRV contain specific amino acid insertions and deletions in the σ1 protein. Neutralizing antibody epitope analysis revealed partial cross-protection among MRV1, MRV2, and MRV3 isolates from China. L3 gene recombination in MRV was identified for the first time in this study. The results of this study provide valuable information on MRV reassortment and evolution.

1,3,4-Oxadiazole-based heterocyclic analogs (3a-3m) were synthesized cyclization of Schiff bases with substituted aldehydes in the presence of bromine and acetic acid. The structural clarification of synthesized molecules was carried out with various spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR,H and C-NMR, UV-visible spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. antifungal activity was performed against , and and analogs 3g, 3i, and 3m showed potent MIC at 200 µg/ml and excellent ZOI measurements of 17-21 nm.

Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by molecular and clinical heterogeneity. This article reports four Moroccan cases of FVII deficiency within the same family, two of which were associated with Gilbert's syndrome. The index case was a 15-year-old girl with a history of menorrhagia and jaundice.

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze reversibly both the hydration and dehydration reactions of CO and HCO-, respectively. Higher plants contain many different isoforms of CAs that can be classified into α-, β- and γ-type subfamilies. β-type CAs play a key role in the CO-concentrating mechanism, thereby contributing to efficient photosynthesis in the C plants in addition to many other biochemical reactions in plant metabolism.

The methylation- demethylation dynamics of RNA plays major roles in different biological functions, including stress responses, in plants. mA methylation in RNA is orchestrated by a coordinated function of methyl transferases (writers) and demethylases (Erasers). Genome-wide analysis of genes involved in methylation and demethylation was performed in pigeon pea.

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a severe and frequent septic complication, characterized by neuronal damage as key pathological features. The astrocyte-microglia crosstalk in the central nervous system (CNS) plays important roles in various neurological diseases. However, how astrocytes interact with microglia to regulate neuronal injury in SAE is poorly defined.
