Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) causes serious crop losses worldwide and is transmitted by (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). NSs protein is the silencing suppressor of TSWV and plays an important role in virus infection, cycling, and transmission process. In this research, we investigated the influences of NSs protein on the interaction of TSWV, plants, and with the transgenic . Compared with the wild-type Col-0 plant, showed an increased number and induced feeding behavior on transgenic expressing exogenous NSs. Further analysis showed that NSs reduced the expression of terpenoids synthesis-related genes and the content of monoterpene volatiles in . These monoterpene volatiles played a repellent role in respect to . In addition, the expression level of plant immune-related genes and the content of the plant resistance hormone jasmonic acid (JA) in transgenic were reduced. The silencing suppressor of TSWV NSs alters the emission of plant volatiles and reduces the JA-regulated plant defenses, resulting in enhanced attractiveness of plants to and may increase the transmission probability of TSWV.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) genetic/transcriptomic signatures have been widely described. However, its proteomic characterization is incomplete. We performed non-targeted quantitative proteomics of HCC samples and explored its clinical, functional, and molecular consequences.

Introduction: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a multifaceted disease characterized by genetic and epigenetic modifications. While Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is a known risk factor, recent studies highlight the significant role of DNA methylation in NPC pathogenesis. Aberrant methylation, particularly at CpG sites, can silence tumour suppressor genes, promoting uncontrolled cell growth.

Background: Altered metabolism has become an important characteristic of cancer, and acyl-CoA dehydrogenase short-chain (ACADS), a regulator of lipid synthesis, is involved in carcinogenesis-associated metabolic pathways. DNA methylation is an important mechanism for silencing ACADS in various malignancies. However, the specific role of ACADS in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) pathogenesis remains poorly understood.

Since the release of the first 3D-printed firearm, "The Liberator," the occurrence of 3D-printed firearms in criminal activities has increased, highlighting the need for forensic research on these weapons. This study presents a technical examination of a 3D-printed firearm received by the National Institute of Criminalistics and Criminology (NICC), focusing on its design, ballistic performance, and its potential for microscopic comparative analysis. The firearm, resembling a 3D-printed pistol Yeet22, is primarily constructed from polymer parts, with the exception of the firing pin, barrel, and various springs and screws.

IDH-mutant low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are slow-growing brain tumors that frequently progress to aggressive high-grade gliomas that have dismal outcomes. In a recent study, Wu and colleagues provide critical insights into the mechanisms underlying malignant progression by analyzing single-cell gene expression and chromatin accessibility across different tumor grades. Their findings support a two-phase model: in early stages, tumors are primarily driven by oligodendrocyte precursor-like cells and epigenetic alterations that silence tumor suppressors like CDKN2A and activate oncogenes such as PDGFRA.
