Salivary proteins secreted by phytophagous insects play pivotal roles in plant-insect interactions. A salivary protein RpSP27, from the stinkbug Riptortus pedestris, a devastating pest on soybean, was selected for studying due to its ability to induce cell death and activate immune responses in plants. RpSP27 localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and triggered reactive oxygen species burst. Virus-induced gene silencing assays showed RAR1 plays an essential role in RpSP27-induced cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana. Expression analyses revealed that RpSP27 is predominantly expressed in R. pedestris salivary glands. RNA interference-mediated silencing of RpSP27 in R. pedestris significantly reduced insect survival rates and altered feeding behavior by decreasing the formation of salivary sheaths on soybeans and reducing probing and feeding duration. Furthermore, the silencing of RpSP27 in R. pedestris mitigated the staygreen syndrome in soybeans, characterized by delayed senescence and pod abnormalities. This study elucidated the role of RpSP27 in the interaction between R. pedestris and soybean, presenting a potential target for pest management strategies to protect soybean crops from the detrimental effects of R. pedestris feeding.

Introduction: Infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) may exhibit decreased oral intake, requiring nasogastric feedings and prolonged hospitalization. The objective of this study was to explore whether saliva serves as an informative biofluid for detecting expression of hunger signaling and energy homeostasis modulator genes and to perform exploratory analyses examining expression profiles, body composition, and feeding outcomes in late preterm and term IDMs and infants born to mothers with normoglycemia during pregnancy.
Methods: In this prospective cohort pilot study, infants born at ≥ 35 weeks' gestation to mothers with gestational or type II diabetes (IDM cohort) and normoglycemic mothers (control cohort) were recruited.
Functional characterization of novel compound heterozygous missense gene variants causing congenital dyshormonogenic hypothyroidism.

Introduction: The sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) mediates active iodide accumulation in the thyroid follicular cell. Biallelic loss-of-function variants in the NIS-coding gene cause congenital dyshormonogenic hypothyroidism due to a defect in the accumulation of iodide, which is required for thyroid hormonogenesis.
Objective: We aimed to identify, and if so to functionally characterize, novel pathogenic gene variants in a patient diagnosed with severe congenital dyshormonogenic hypothyroidism characterized by undetectable radioiodide accumulation in a eutopic thyroid gland, as well as in the salivary glands.

Introduction: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most common extra-articular manifestation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Studies have concluded that there is an association between rs35705950 polymorphism of the MUC5B gene and RA-ILD.
Aim: To explore this polymorphism in a cohort of Tunisian patients suffering from RA with or without ILD and stufdy its association to ILD during RA.
Using Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) with Photoactivated Localization Microscopy (PALM) to Analyze Hox/Cofactor Interactions at the Super Resolution Scale in Drosophila Salivary Glands.

Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) is a powerful molecular imaging method used to visualize protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in living cells or organisms. BiFC is based on the reassociation of hemi-fragments of a monomeric fluorescent protein upon spatial proximity. It is compatible with conventional light microscopy, providing a resolution that is constrained by the diffraction of light to around 250 nm.

Neonatal calf diarrhea is a frequent disease of calves and may result in dehydration and metabolic acidosis. The disease causes mortality and reduces growth and future productivity. Early identification of disease improves calf outcomes and thus there is increasing interest in technological methods for detecting disease.
