Brachial plexus root avulsion (BPRA) is one of the most serious injuries of the upper extremity, which requires more effective treatment. Trehalose, a natural disaccharide, has reported to has a protective effect in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the effective effects and mechanism of trehalose on BPRA are still unclear. BPRA rat model were established, and then effects of trehalose on BPRA were investigated. TBHP-treated NSC34 cells with or without trehalose treatment were used for mechanism studies by Western blotting, Immunofluorescence and Flow cytometry analysis. Trehalose elevated the survival of motor neurons in rats after BPRA, suggesting a protective role of trehlose on BPRA. Trehalose treatment in rats after BPRA enhanced the autophage and thus inhibited apoptosis compared with rats in Vehicle group. Moreover, in TBHP-treated NSC34 cells, trehalose promoted the expression of autophage-related markers (LC3 and Beclin-1), concomitant with decreased levels of apoptosis. In vitro mechanism study indicated that the regulations of trehalose on autophage and apoptosis were via the AMPK-ULK1 pathway. Trehalose protects injured MNs by enhancing autophage and inhibiting apoptosis, which demonstrating the essential role of trehalose in the prevention and treatment of BPRA.

Background: Autologous fat grafting (AFG) often needs multiple sessions due to low volume retention. Young adipose tissue demonstrates a more pronounced therapeutic effect; thus, the cryopreservation of adipose tissue of young origin is particularly crucial. This study investigated the protective effect of a new cryopreservation solution combining trehalose, glycerol, and metformin on adipose tissue.

Effective environmental risk assessments of chemical plant protection products, such as benzoylurea pesticides, are crucial for safeguarding ecosystems. These pesticides, including teflubenzuron, target chitin synthesis in arthropods but also pose risks to non-target soil fauna like Collembola, which play essential roles in decomposition and nutrient cycling. This study combines traditional toxicity tests with a metabolomic approach to examine the interspecies specific sensitivity of three Collembola species - Sinella curviseta, Ceratophysella denticulata, and Folsomia candida - to teflubenzuron.

Plant internal phosphorus (P) recycling is a complex process, which is vital for improving plant P use efficiency. However, the mechanisms underlying phosphate (Pi) release from internal organic-P form remains to be deciphered in crops. Here, we functionally characterised a Pi-starvation responsive purple acid phosphatase (PAP), GmPAP23 in soybean (Glycine max).

During batch fermentation, a variety of compounds are synthesized, as microorganisms undergo distinct growth phases: lag, exponential, growth-no-growth transition, stationary, and decay. A detailed understanding of the metabolic pathways involved in these phases is crucial for optimizing the production of target compounds. Dynamic flux balance analysis (dFBA) offers insight into the dynamics of metabolic pathways.
