This paper reviews the application of "co-regulation of body and mind" of acupuncture for post-stroke spasticity. It is found that acupoints on the head and the back of the governor vessel, as well as Jiaji (Ex-B 2) points are mainly used for regulating the mind, and the local sites of spastic muscles and the points on the antagonistic muscles are for regulating the body specially. It is believed that regulating the mind should be integrated with regulating the body, while, the acupoint selection be associated with needling methods so as to fully achieve the "co-regulation of body and mind" and enhance the practical value of acupuncture for post-stroke spasticity. It is proposed that the classical anti-spastic needling techniques, such as (relaxing needling) and (joint needling), should be more considered.

Hybrid exons evolved by coupling transcription initiation and splicing at the nucleotide level.

Exons within transcripts are traditionally classified as first, internal or last exons, each governed by different regulatory mechanisms. We recently described the widespread usage of 'hybrid' exons that serve as terminal or internal exons in different transcripts. Here, we employ an interpretable deep learning pipeline to dissect the sequence features governing the co-regulation of transcription initiation and splicing in hybrid exons.

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is able to survive, grow, and cause severe infections at different sites throughout the human body owing to its ability to sense diverse signals and precisely modulate target gene expression using its abundant signaling systems. Release of zinc (Zn) and hydrogen peroxide (HO) within the phagocyte are two major host strategies to defend against bacterial infections. It was previously shown that the response regulator CzcR controls global gene expression including catalase genes during Zn excess, but regulatory mechanisms of catalase gene expression and the role of CzcR in HO tolerance remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Brown adipose tissue (BAT) allows mammals to regulate body temperature through a process called adaptive thermogenesis, which is stimulated by cold exposure.
- Researchers identified a factor called Slit3 that facilitates communication between adipocyte progenitors, blood vessel cells, and sympathetic nerves, which is vital for BAT's thermogenic function.
- The study reveals that Slit3 not only aids the growth of blood vessels and nerves in BAT but also involves a special cleaving process that releases fragments of Slit3 to activate different receptors, highlighting a complex interaction within adipose tissue that influences its response to cold.
Microbial Metagenomes and Host Transcriptomes Reveal the Dynamic Changes of Rumen Gene Expression, Microbial Colonization and Co-Regulation of Mineral Element Metabolism in Yaks from Birth to Adulthood.

Article Synopsis
- Yaks play a crucial role in the livelihoods of plateau herdsmen, with their mineral element levels linked to their productivity.
- This research examined how the rumen of yaks develops from birth to adulthood, revealing a diverse microbial community dominated by bacteria, particularly Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes.
- The study identified specific genes and their interactions that correlate with physical traits and mineral ion regulation, providing insights for better feeding strategies and mineral supplementation for yaks throughout their life stages.
Mono-methylated histones control PARP-1 in chromatin and transcription.

PARP-1 is central to transcriptional regulation under both normal and stress conditions, with the governing mechanisms yet to be fully understood. Our biochemical and ChIP-seq-based analyses showed that PARP-1 binds specifically to active histone marks, particularly H4K20me1. We found that H4K20me1 plays a critical role in facilitating PARP-1 binding and the regulation of PARP-1-dependent loci during both development and heat shock stress.
