Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) colorimetry, and bioassays were employed for the evaluation of the ability of endophytic bacterial strains to synthesize indole-related compounds (IRCs) and in particular indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). A total of 54 endophytic strains belonging to seven bacterial genera isolated from tissues of common and spelt wheat cultivars were studied. The endophytic bacteria isolated from different tissues of the tested wheat types were capable of IRCs production, including IAA, which constituted from 1.75% to 52.68% of all IRCs, in in vitro conditions via the tryptophan dependent pathway. The selected post-culture medium was also examined using a plant bioassay. Substantial growth of wheat coleoptile segments treated with the bacterial post-culture medium was observed in several cases. Our data suggest that the studied endophytic bacteria produce auxin-type compounds to support plant development. Summarizing, our approach to use three complementary methods for estimation of IRCs in different endophytic strains provides a comprehensive picture of their effect on wheat growth.

Multi-modal comparison of molecular programs driving nurse cell death and clearance in Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis.

The death and clearance of nurse cells is a consequential milestone in Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis. In preparation for oviposition, the germline-derived nurse cells bequeath to the developing oocyte all their cytoplasmic contents and undergo programmed cell death. The death of the nurse cells is controlled non-autonomously and is precipitated by epithelial follicle cells of somatic origin acquiring a squamous morphology and acidifying the nurse cells externally.

Growing evidence suggests that serotonin is an important mediator in the cross-talk between immune and bone cells, playing a role in the pathogenesis of various types of inflammatory arthritis (IA). However, the relationship between circulating serotonin and different outcomes in three most prevalent IA - rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), remains limited and requires further investigation. This study was performed to evaluate variations in serotonin serum levels among RA, PsA, and axSpA and to explore the utility of this biochemical marker in the assessment of disease activity and health status measurements provided by the Multi-Dimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire (MDHAQ).

Background: Neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), consisting of hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates, are one of the major pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The burden of NFTs correlates with cognitive decline, and in vivo detection of NFT may help predict the clinical progression of AD. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of brain regions affected by NFTs holds the potential to unveil the molecular mechanisms underlying tau pathogenesis and uncover novel diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Background: Synaptic loss predicts cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the critical disease modifying molecular mechanisms of synaptic failure remain elusive. Animal studies implicate the increased activation of cytosolic phospholipase (cPLA2) activation in synaptic loss and neuroinflammation.

Like ubiquitin, UFM1 is conjugated to substrates via a catalytic cascade involving a UFM1-specific E1 (UBA5), E2 (UFC1), and an E3 ligase complex (UFL1, DDRGK1 and CDK5RAP3). UFMylation is reversible, and this is mediated by UFSP2.
