Actinobacteria have a complex life cycle, including morphological and physiological differentiation which are often associated with the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Recently, increased interest in post-translational modifications (PTMs) in these Gram-positive bacteria has highlighted the importance of PTMs as signals that provide functional diversity and regulation by modifying proteins to respond to diverse stimuli. Here, we review the developments in research on acylation, a typical PTM that uses acyl-CoA or related metabolites as donors, as well as the understanding of the direct link provided by acylation between cell metabolism and signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, cell growth, and pathogenicity in Actinobacteria.

Background: Epigenetic mechanisms as a potential underlying pathogenic mechanism of neurodegenerative diseases have been the scope of several studies performed so far. However, there is a gap in analyzing different forms of early-onset dementia to minimize the effect of aging and the use of Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) as a possible disease model for earlier clinical phases.
Method: We performed a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis in 64 samples (from prefrontal cortex and lymphoblastoid cell lines) from Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) using the Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC V2.

Background: RNA editing represents one of the most common post-transcriptional modifications that contribute to transcriptomic diversity, impacting RNA stability and regulations. To this end, we sought to investigate brain region-specific RNA-editing signatures (RNA-editings) associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the human aged brain with regulatory elements.
Method: We investigated the genome-wide landscape of RNA-editings from 4,208 (1,364 AD case vs.

Background: Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying selective neuronal vulnerability is crucial for developing effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our group has shown that RORB/CDH9-positive excitatory neurons in the entorhinal cortex (EC) display selective vulnerability as early as Braak stage (BB) 2. However, not all RORB/CDH9-positive neurons are vulnerable.

Niches are often found in specific positions in tissues relative to the stem cells they support. Consistency of niche position suggests that placement is important for niche function. However, the complexity of most niches has precluded a thorough understanding of how their proper placement is established.

Objective To clarify the mechanism that HIV infection mediates mitochondrial damage of CD4 T lymphocytes (CD4 T cells) through mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Methods From October 1st, 2022 to March 31st, 2023, 47 HIV-infected people who received antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 4 years were recruited, including 22 immune non-responders (INR) and 25 responders (IR); and 26 sex and age-matched control participants (HC) who were negative for HCV, HBV, and HIV infections. The immune parameters were analyzed by flow cytometry.
