It has been established that only a negligible part of fleas occurs on animals while the main habitats where the greater part of micropopulation is concentrated from April to September are mouth, passages and food chambers situated at a depth up to 60 cm. In March, October, November and December fleas are restricted to the passages of burrows at a depth over 100 cm.

Imaging-based spatial transcriptomics (iST), such as MERFISH, CosMx SMI, and Xenium, quantify gene expression level across cells in space, but more importantly, they directly reveal the subcellular distribution of RNA transcripts at the single-molecule resolution. The subcellular localization of RNA molecules plays a crucial role in the compartmentalization-dependent regulation of genes within individual cells. Understanding the intracellular spatial distribution of RNA for a particular cell type thus not only improves the characterization of cell identity but also is of paramount importance in elucidating unique subcellular regulatory mechanisms specific to the cell type.

Applications of mass spectrometry imaging in botanical research.

Adv Biotechnol (Singap)

State Key Laboratory of Traditional Chinese Medicine/School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, 510006, China.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) serves as a valuable tool enabling researchers to scrutinize various compounds, peptides, and proteins within a sample, providing detailed insights at both elemental and molecular levels. This innovative technology transforms information obtained from a mass spectrometer- encompassing ionic strength, mass-to-charge ratio, and ionized molecule coordinates-within a defined region into a pixel-based model. Consequently, it reconstructs the spatial distribution of ions, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of molecular landscapes.

Mortality and diurnal temperature range in Virginia.

Int J Biometeorol

January 2025

Southeast Regional Climate Center, Department of Geography and Environment, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC, 27514, USA.

The relationship between diurnal temperature range (DTR) and daily mortality from 2005 to 2020 is examined for seven large metropolitan areas in Virginia using distributed lag non-linear models that control for temperature and humidity. The relative risk of mortality increases for very high DTR, and there is a short lag effect of several days. High risk DTR days are rare, typically occurring less than 1% of the time at most locations.

Water dynamics are investigated in binary osmolyte-water mixtures, exhibiting a microscopic heterogeneity driven by molecular aggregation, on the basis of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies. The protecting osmolyte TMAO molecules in solution are evenly dispersed without the formation of noticeable osmolyte aggregates, while the denaturant TMU molecules aggregate readily, generating microscopic heterogeneity in the spatial distribution of component molecules in TMU-water mixtures. A combined study of MD simulation with graph theoretical analysis and spatial inhomogeneity measurement with -values in the two osmolyte solutions revealed that the translational and rotational motions of water in the microheterogeneous environment of TMU-water mixtures are less hindered than those in the homogeneous media of TMAO-water mixtures.

The screening of chemical libraries is an essential starting point in the drug discovery process. While some researchers desire a more thorough screening of drug targets against a narrower scope of molecules, it is not uncommon for diverse screening sets to be favored during the early stages of drug discovery. However, a cost burden is associated with the screening of molecules, with potential drawbacks if particular areas of chemical space are needlessly overrepresented.
