Light is the main source of energy for plant growth. Studies have shown that I. indigotica is a light-demanding plant and its yield and various active components are positively correlated with light intensity, but no studies of light intensity affecting energy metabolism in I. indigotica have been reported. Mitochondria are the main site of energy metabolism, and miRNAs are important factors in regulating gene expression, this experiment attempts to study the effects of different light intensities on energy metabolism from the perspective of mitochondria and miRNAs. The results show that the biomass、mitochondrial structural integrity and energy metabolism in I. indigotica were found to be positively correlated with light intensity. Small RNA and transcriptome sequencing identified 241 miRNAs and 36,372 mRNAs, and degradomic technology identified 72 miRNAs targeting 106 mRNAs, among which 12 pairs of miRNA-mRNAs were annotated on mitochondria. Combined with RT-qPCR validation, it was concluded that miR167a-5p positively regulates LETM1 and affects mitochondrial structure, miR400-5p and mIR169m-p3_1ss15CT negatively regulate GRXS15 and CMC4, respectively, affecting SDH and CCO activities, and miR395a-APS4 may affect the utilization of ATP and sulfate assimilation. In summary, the results of this study complement and enrich knowledge of light effects on mitochondria from the perspective of miRNA, while providing guidance for the cultivation of I. indigotica.

Background: Recent technological advances have introduced novel methods for measuring body composition, each with unique benefits and limitations. The choice of method often depends on the trade-offs between accuracy, cost, participant burden, and the ability to measure specific body composition compartments.
Objective: To review the considerations of cost, accuracy, portability, and participant burden in reference and emerging body composition assessment methods, and to evaluate their clinical applicability.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a malignant and life-threatening tumor with an extremely poor prognosis, posing a significant global health challenge. Despite the continuous emergence of novel therapeutic agents, patients exhibit substantial heterogeneity in their responses to anti-tumor drugs and overall prognosis. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is highly activated in various tumor cells and plays a pivotal role in tumor metabolic reprogramming.

Protein synthesis (translation) consumes a substantial proportion of cellular resources, prompting specialized mechanisms to reduce translation under adverse conditions. Ribosome inactivation often involves ribosome-interacting proteins. In both bacteria and eukaryotes, various ribosome-interacting proteins facilitate ribosome dimerization or hibernation, and/or prevent ribosomal subunits from associating, enabling the organisms to adapt to stress.

Altered DNA dynamics at lesion sites are implicated in how DNA repair proteins sense damage within genomic DNA. Using laser temperature-jump (T-jump) spectroscopy combined with cytosine-analog Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) probes that sense local DNA conformations, we measured the intrinsic dynamics of DNA containing 3 base-pair mismatches recognized in vitro by Rad4 (yeast ortholog of XPC). Rad4/XPC recognizes diverse lesions from environmental mutagens and initiates nucleotide excision repair.

Gualou-Xiebai-Banxia (GXB) decoction shows potential for treating myocardial ischemia (MI), although its underlying mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, a multimodal metabolomics approach, combining gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and H-NMR, was employed to investigate the cardioprotective effects of GXB in a rat model of myocardial ischemia induced by ligation. ELISA assays and HE staining demonstrated that GXB effectively reduced myocardial injury, oxidative stress markers, and myocardial fibrosis.
