Structural determination of the ABCC4 transporter is a major first step in providing crucial molecular insights into the transport of platelet substrates into granules, as well as drug transport from platelets. The findings provide a framework for understanding platelet interactions and potential design of specific platelet antagonists.

Prenatal exposure to hazardous environmental pollutants is a critical global concern due to their confirmed presence in umbilical cord blood, indicating the ability of pollutants to cross the placental barrier and expose the fetus to harmful compounds. However, the transplacental transfer efficiencies (TTEs) of many pollutants remain underexplored. Herein, we developed a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to quantitatively analyze 91 environmental pollutants, including 13 bisphenols (BPs), 18 organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), 7 brominated and other flame retardants (BFRs), 34 phthalates (PAEs), and 19 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), in paired maternal and cord serums.

The western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, has evolved resistance to nearly every management tactic utilized in the field. This study investigated the resistance mechanisms in a WCR strain resistant to the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protein eCry3.1Ab using dsRNA to knockdown WCR midgut genes previously documented to be associated with the resistance.

The directional and sequential flow of cytokinin in plants is organized by a complex network of transporters. Genes involved in several aspects of cytokinin transport have been characterized; however, much of the elaborate system remains elusive. In this study, we used a transient expression system in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) leaves to screen Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transporter genes and isolated ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTER C4 (ABCC4).

Introduction: The plasma membrane-bound protein, multi-drug resistance-associated protein 4 (), has gained attention for its pivotal role in facilitating the efflux of a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic molecules. Its significance in adipogenesis and fatty acid metabolism has been brought to light by recent studies. Notably, research on knockout ( ) mice has established a link between the absence of and the development of obesity and diabetes.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a dynamic interface controlling the compound translocation between the blood and the brain, thereby maintaining neural homeostasis. There is cumulative evidence that BBB impairment during diabetes mellitus (DM) takes part in the progression of cognitive dementia. As tight junction proteins and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters regulate substance exchange between the circulating blood and brain, the expression and function of these molecules under DM should be fully clarified.
