To assess the effects of sepsis on effective hepatic blood flow (EHBF) and hepatic tissue bioenergy status 250-350 g rats underwent either sham laparotomy or cecal ligation and perforation (CLP). At 5-, 10-, and 20-hr intervals cardiac output (CO), EHBF, and tissue adenine nucleotide levels were measured. CLP rats showed a hyperdynamic response to sepsis at 20 hr, with CO increased by 25% over sham rats. At all time intervals studied EHBF was decreased and at 20 hr it was maximally decreased by 35%. Hepatic energy charge (HEC) was calculated from tissue adenine nucleotide measurements. HEC was not statistically different in sham and CLP rats at 5 hr and was 11 and 9% reduced from sham levels in CLP rats at 10 and 20 hr, respectively. Thus, EHBF is decreased very early in sepsis; before any changes in hepatic bioenergy status are noted. In this hyperdynamic model of sepsis EHBF is decreased early and decreases progressively with time which may contribute to the significant decrease in HEC that is demonstrated.

The ionome represents elemental composition in plant tissues and can be an indicator of nutrient status as well as overall plant performance. Thus, identifying genetic determinants governing elemental uptake and storage is an important goal for breeding and engineering biomass feedstocks with improved performance. In this study, we coupled high-throughput ionome characterization of leaf tissues with high-resolution genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to uncover genetic loci that modulate ionomic composition in leaves of poplar ().

The transition from fossil fuels dependency to embracing renewable alternatives is pivotal for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, with biorefineries playing a central role at the forefront of this transition. As a sustainable alternative, lignocellulosic feedstocks hold great promise for biofuels and biochemicals production. However, the effective utilization of complex sugars, such as xylose, remains a significant hurdle.

Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) are the main members of deubiquitinases (DUBs) that catalyze removing ubiquitin chains from target proteins, thereby modulating their half-life and function. Enzymatic activity of USP21 regulates protein degradation which is critical for maintaining cell homeostasis. USP21 determines the stability of oncogenic proteins and therefore is implicated in carcinogenesis.
