Elicited cell cultures of spp. are successfully used as sustainable biotechnological production systems of the anticancer drug paclitaxel, but the effect of the induced metabolomic changes on the synthesis of other bioactive compounds by elicitation has been scarcely studied. In this work, a powerful combinatorial approach based on elicitation and untargeted metabolomics was applied to unravel and characterize the effects of the elicitors 1 µM of coronatine (COR) or 150 µM of salicylic acid (SA) on phenolic biosynthesis in cell suspensions. Differential effects on cell growth and the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway were observed. Untargeted metabolomics analysis revealed a total of 83 phenolic compounds, mainly flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, and stilbenes. The application of multivariate statistics identified the metabolite markers attributed to elicitation over time: up to 34 compounds at 8 days, 41 for 16 days, and 36 after 24 days of culture. The most notable metabolic changes in phenolic metabolism occurred after 8 days of COR and 16 days of SA elicitation. Besides demonstrating the significant and differential impact of elicitation treatments on the metabolic fingerprint of cell suspensions, the results indicate that ssp. biofactories may potentially supply not only taxanes but also valuable phenolic antioxidants, in an efficient optimization of resources.

Virtual reality (VR) technology has gained popularity across various fields; however, its use often induces cybersickness, characterized by symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and eye strain. This study investigated the differences in cybersickness levels and head movement patterns under three distinct VR viewing conditions: dynamic VR (DVR), static VR (SVR), and a control condition (CON) using a simulator. Thirty healthy adults participated, and their head movements were recorded using the Meta Quest 2 VR headset and analyzed using Python.

While the pulmonary effects of regular waterpipe smoking (R-WPS) are well-defined, the impact of occasional waterpipe smoking (O-WPS) on the lungs remains less established. This study investigated the pulmonary toxicity and underlying mechanisms of O-WPS versus R-WPS following 6 months of exposure, focusing on histopathology, inflammation in the lung, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and plasma, as well as oxidative stress, genotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in lung homogenates. Exposure to both O-WPS and R-WPS resulted in significant histological changes, including increased numbers of alveolar macrophages and lymphocytes, as well as interstitial fibrosis.

Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder causing swelling attacks in various parts of the body, resulting in impacts on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The symptoms of HAE and its impacts on HRQoL have been well-documented in adults; however, relatively little is known about the experiences of adolescents with HAE. The objective of this study was to use qualitative interviews to investigate how adolescents experience HAE symptoms and how HAE impacts their HRQoL.

Background: The in vitro propagation of halophytes is innovative perspective for sustainable agriculture, conservation of natural plants and essential raw materials for industry due to increasing soil salinization and decreasing freshwater availability. Sarcocornia fruticosa, a halophytic plant, may hold promise for biosaline production systems and achieve bioactive products. Understanding the salt tolerance mechanisms of halophytes through elicitors can enhance the production of secondary metabolites, such as phenolics and flavonoids, under saline environment.
