Volatile oils (VOs), synonymously termed essential oils (EOs), are highly hydrophobic liquids obtained from aromatic plants, containing diverse organic compounds for example terpenes and terpenoids. These oils exhibit significant neuroprotective properties, containing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, glutamate activation, cholinesterase inhibitory action, and anti-protein aggregatory action, making them potential therapeutic agents in managing neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). VOs regulate glutamate activation, enhance synaptic plasticity, and inhibit oxidative stress through the stimulation of antioxidant enzymes.

In pursuit of novel antidiabetic agents to combat type II diabetes mellitus, our study focused on identifying pharmacophoric features responsible for PPAR-γ expression, a key regulator of glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism. This goal was achieved through pharmacophore model generation and screening of rationally designed library of thiazolidine-2,4-dione hybrids (7a-7f). The top hits were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo antidiabetic activities.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) individuals exhibit increased adipogenesis and decreased osteogenesis. We investigated the potential of adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ADMSCs) secretome obtained from healthy individuals in restoring the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) mediated imbalance in the adipo/osteogenic differentiation in the dental pulp-derived MSCs obtained from T2DM individuals (dDPMSCs).

Methods: dDPMSCs were differentiated into adipocytes and osteocytes using a standard cocktail in the presence of (a) induction cocktail, (b) induction cocktail + TNF-α, and (c) induction cocktail+ TNF-α + ADMSCs-secretome (50%) for 15 and 21 days resp.

In Drosophila, the signaling pathway activated by the ligand Folded gastrulation (Fog) is among the few known G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways to regulate cell shape change with a well-characterized role in gastrulation. However, an understanding of the spectrum of morphogenetic events regulated by Fog signaling is still lacking. Here, we present an analysis of the expression pattern and regulation of fog using a genome-engineered Fog::sfGFP line.

The tight junction of endothelial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) has an ideal characteristic, acting as a biological barrier that can securely regulate the movement of molecules in the brain. Tightly closed astrocyte cell junctions on blood capillaries are the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This biological barrier prohibits the entry of polar drugs, cells, and ions, which protect the brain from harmful toxins.

Article Synopsis
  • - Abiotic stresses, intensified by climate change, cause significant crop yield losses globally by generating harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) that disrupt plant cellular processes.
  • - Plants have developed antioxidant systems and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as miRNAs and lncRNAs, which play critical roles in regulating stress-related genes and defending against abiotic stress.
  • - The review explores how ncRNAs regulate plant responses to abiotic stresses through ROS homeostasis and discusses their potential applications in improving agricultural resilience.
