MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding small RNA with 19-24 nucleotides (nts) in length, which play an essential role in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. As one of the first miRNAs found in plants, miR171 is a typical class of conserved miRNAs. The miR171 sequences among different species are highly similar, and the vast majority of them have both "GAGCCG" and "CAAUAU" fragments. In addition to being involved in plant growth and development, hormone signaling and stress response, miR171 also plays multiple and important roles in plants through interactions with microbe and other small-RNAs. The miRNA functions by regulating the expression of target genes. Most of miR171's target genes are in the GRAS gene family, but also include some NSP, miRNAs, lncRNAs, and other genes. This review is intended to summarize recent updates on miR171 regarding its function in plant life and hopefully provide new ideas for understanding miR171 function and regulatory mechanisms.

Background: Gliomas represent the most aggressive malignancies of the central nervous system, with posttranslational modifications (PTMs) emerging as critical regulators of oncogenic processes through dynamic protein functional modulation. Despite their established role in tumor biology, the systematic characterization of PTM-mediated molecular mechanisms driving glioma progression remains unexplored. This study aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms of glioma, with a focus on the role of PTMs.

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often face infertility due to endocrine disorders affecting their reproductive, metabolic, and endocrine systems. Although brown adipose tissue (BAT) transplantation has been established to treat polycystic ovaries and hyperandrogenism in PCOS rats, the underlying mechanism is still largely unclear owing to lacking effective clinical treatment. Peptides are believed to significantly contribute to PCOS pathogenesis, however, the specific effects of active peptides released by BAT on PCOS remain largely unexplored.

Succinylation is a relatively common post-translational modification. It occurs in the cytoplasm, mitochondria, and the nucleus, where its essential precursor, succinyl-CoA, is present, allowing for the modification of non-histone and histone proteins. In normal cells, succinylation levels are carefully regulated to sustain a dynamic balance, necessitating the involvement of various regulatory mechanisms, including non-enzymatic reactions, succinyltransferases, and desuccinylases.
