To explore the reason for cytoplasmic replacement's significant effect on browning, transcriptomic data of nuclear (N) and mitochondrial (M) mRNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in L808 and two cytoplasmic hybrids (cybrids) (L808-A2 and L808-B) of at three different culturing times (80, 100, and 120 days) were obtained. The results showed that the expression of N and M genes and lncRNAs changed with the culture time and cytoplasmic source. Cytoplasmic replacement significantly affected some M and N genes related to the internal mechanism and external morphological characteristics of browning. The internal browning mechanism should be the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-mediated antioxidant machinery to protect mycelia against oxidative stress induced by the generation of reactive oxygen species under light irradiation. External morphological characteristics were the changing features of brown films by melanin (an antioxidant) aggregation on the surface of the mycelia of the bag or log. Especially, some genes were related to the remodeling of the plasma membrane, extracellular enzymes of celluloses and hemicellulases, small molecules, and NADPH metabolic processes. Additionally, communication between the nucleus and mitochondria mediated by M- was reported for the first time, and it is mainly appreciated in M structural assembly, functional implementation, and cooperation with other organelles.

A bidirectional nucleus-mitochondria communication is essential for homeostasis and stress. By acting as critical molecules, the nuclear-encoded lncRNAs (nulncRNAs) have been implicated in the nucleus-to-mitochondria anterograde regulation. However, role of mitochondrial-derived lncRNAs (mtlncRNAs) in the mitochondria-to-nucleus retrograde regulation remains elusive.

To facilitate the study of NPL-dependent intercellular interactions, we introduce MetaLigand, an R-based and web-accessible tool designed to infer NPL production and predict NPL-receptor interactions using transcriptomic data. MetaLigand compiles data for 233 NPLs, including their biosynthetic enzymes, transporter genes, and receptor genes, through a combination of automated pipelines and manual curation from comprehensive databases.

Human adipose depots are functionally distinct. Yet, recent single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) analyses largely uncovered overlapping or similar cell-type landscapes. We hypothesized that adipocyte subtypes, differentiation trajectories and/or intercellular communication patterns could illuminate this depot similarity-difference gap.

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a widely recognized entactogen frequently used recreationally. It is known for its interaction with the serotonin and oxytocin systems, which underlie its entactogenic effects in humans. Recently, we demonstrated that the gut-brain axis, mediated by the subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve, contributes to MDMA-induced resilience enhancement in rodents.

The sense of hearing originates in the cochlea, which detects sounds across dynamic sensory environments. Like other peripheral organs, the cochlea is subjected to environmental insults, including loud, damage-inducing sounds. In response to internal and external stimuli, the central nervous system directly modulates cochlear function through olivocochlear neurons (OCNs), which are located in the brainstem and innervate the cochlear sensory epithelium.
