Amyloid fibrils, historically stigmatized due to their association with diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, are now recognized as a distinct class of functional proteins with extraordinary potential. These highly ordered, cross-β-sheet protein aggregates are found across all domains of life, playing crucial physiological roles. In bacteria, functional amyloids like curli fibers are essential for surface adhesion, biofilm formation, and viral DNA packaging.

Thioredoxin is a multifunctional acidic protein widely presented in organisms that regulates intracellular redox processes, participating in a series of biochemical reactions in cells to affect the growth and development of plants. Although the thioredoxin (TRX) gene family has been widespread recognized across various plant species, and the tomato genome has been sequenced for years now, of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) has remained largely uncharted in terms of identifying and unraveling the functional intricacies of is TRX genes. In this study, 53 SlTRX genes were identified, unevenly distributed across 11 of the 12 tomato chromosomes.

The oral epithelium, a dynamic interface constantly facing environmental challenges, relies on intricate molecular pathways to maintain its homeostasis. This comprehensive review delves into the nuanced interplay between T-lymphocytic cells (T cells) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) within the oral epithelium, elucidating their roles in orchestrating immune responses and influencing tissue plasticity. By synthesizing current knowledge, we aim to unravel the molecular intricacies that govern this interplay, with a focus on potential therapeutic implications for oral health and diseases.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex and multifaceted disorder that defies simplistic characterisation. Traditional approaches to diagnosing and treating ME/CFS have often fallen short due to the condition's heterogeneity and the lack of validated biomarkers. The growing field of precision medicine offers a promising approach which focuses on the genetic and molecular underpinnings of individual patients.

Leveraging extensive multi-omics profiling (methylome, miRNome, transcriptome, proteins and metabolites) and a rich phenotypic characterization across two parts of Europe within the population-based Human Early Life Exposome project, we unravel the molecular landscape of childhood obesity and associated metabolic dysfunction. Our integrative analysis uncovers three clusters of children defined by specific multi-omics profiles, one of which characterized not only by higher adiposity but also by a high degree of metabolic complications.
