Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of plant hormones that play several roles in plants, such as suppressing shoot branching and promoting arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. The positive regulation of plant disease resistance by SLs has recently been demonstrated by analyses using SL-related mutants. In Arabidopsis, SL-mediated signaling has been reported to modulate salicylic acid-mediated disease resistance, in which the priming of plant immunity plays an important role. In this study, we analyzed the effect of the synthetic SL analogue -GR24 on resistance against necrotrophic pathogen . In -GR24-treated plants, disease resistance against was enhanced in an ethylene- and camalexin-dependent manners. Expression of the ethylene-related genes and the camalexin biosynthetic gene and camalexin accumulation after pathogen infection were enhanced by immune priming in -GR24-treated plants. These suggest that SL-mediated immune priming is effective for many types of resistance mechanisms in plant self-defense systems.

Type 1 diabetes is associated with excess cardiovascular risk, even after accounting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, including glycaemia. Hence, there is an urgent need to document the metabolic abnormalities that contribute to the cardiovascular mortality gap in type 1 diabetes, and to examine whether cardioprotective type 2 diabetes medications prevent premature morbidity and mortality in this population.

Aims: This review examines the challenges posed by Diabetic Foot Infections (DFIs), focusing on the impact of neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease, immunopathy, and the polymicrobial nature of these infections. The aim is to explore the factors contributing to antimicrobial resistance and assess the potential of novel antimicrobial treatments and drug delivery systems in improving patient outcomes.
Method: A comprehensive analysis of existing literature on DFIs was conducted, highlighting the multifactorial pathogenesis and polymicrobial composition of these infections.

Unlabelled: Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by the growth of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity. In response to estradiol, this tissue begins to proliferate and grow, forming lesions and nodules, which can invade the tissues, causing pelvic pain and infertility. The most widely used pharmacological treatment is progesterone, which manages to reduce symptoms, but approximately one-third of patients develop resistance to treatment.
