() also known as the Chinese water snake, has been used for medicinal purposes, such as the treatment of ailments involving fever, headache, and joint pain. The complete mitochondrial genome of was assembled using next-generation sequencing. The mitochondrial genome was 17,302 bp in length and contained 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 2 non-coding control regions (D-loop). The light chain of replication origin was found between tRNA-Asn and tRNA-Cys in the WANCY gene cluster, which is consistent with published mitogenomes of Homalopsidae. The phylogenetic tree supported the monophyly of Homalopsidae species and implied that is the closest related species to . The mitochondrial genome of provides fundamental data for exploring mitochondrial genome evolution in snakes (Homalopsidae).

The Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) line of has gained significant attention for its use in harnessing heterosis. It remains unaffected by temperature and environment and is thorough and stable. The Ogura cytoplasmic restorer line of is derived from the distant hybridization of and , but it carried a large number of radish fragments into , because there is no homologous allele of the restorer gene in , transferring it becomes challenging.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a common and serious health issue among older men globally. Metabolic reprogramming, particularly involving lactate and mitochondria, plays a key role in PCa progression, but studies linking these factors to prognosis are limited. To identify novel prognostic markers of PCa based on lactate-mitochondria-related genes (LMRGs), RNA sequencing data and clinical information of PCa from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the cBioPortal database were used to construct a lactate-mitochondria-related risk signature.

Background: Pleuronectiformes, also known as flatfish, are important model and economic animals. However, a comprehensive genome survey of their important organelles, mitochondria, has been limited. Therefore, we aim to analyze the genomic structure, codon preference, nucleotide diversity, selective pressure and repeat sequences, as well as reconstruct the phylogenetic relationship using the mitochondrial genomes of 111 flatfish species.

3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NP) is a naturally occurring mycotoxin produced by various species of fungi and plants. However, the potential impact of 3-NP exposure on reproductive health remains unclear. To address this gap, we conducted an in vitro study to investigate the toxic effects of 3-NP on the developmental processes of mouse embryos.
