Infectious diseases drive wild plant evolution and impact crop yield. Plants, like animals, sense biotic threats through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Overly robust immune responses can harm plants; thus, understanding the tuning of defense response mechanisms is crucial for developing pathogen-resistant crops.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating, uniformly lethal degenerative disease of motor neurons, presenting with relentlessly progressive muscle atrophy and weakness. More than fifty genes carrying causative or disease-modifying variants have been identified since the 1990s, when the first ALS-associated variant in the gene SOD1 was discovered. The most commonly mutated ALS genes in the European populations include the C9orf72, SOD1, TARDBP and FUS.

Abnormal trinucleotide CAG repeat expansions in exon 1 of the Androgen Receptor (AR) gene has been identified as the cause of Kennedy disease (KD). We generated and characterized a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of a patient with genetically confirmed KD. The pluripotency of these iPSCs was verified by the expression of several pluripotency markers at both RNA and protein levels, as well as their capability to differentiate into all three germ layers.

RNA plays important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to environmental stimuli. , a long noncoding cis-natural antisense RNA, is a key component of regulating the response to cold temperature in . There are three mechanisms through which fine tunes the transcriptional response to cold temperatures.

Antibiotics, celebrated as some of the most significant pharmaceutical breakthroughs in medical history, are capable of eliminating or inhibiting bacterial growth, offering a primary defense against a wide array of bacterial infections. However, the rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), driven by the widespread use of antibiotics, has evolved into a widespread and ominous threat to global public health. Thus, the creation of efficient methods for detecting resistance genes and antibiotics is imperative for ensuring food safety and safeguarding human health.
