Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the CAP superfamily of proteins, which includes Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPS), Antigen 5 (Ag5), and Pathogenesis-related 1 (PR-1), found in various eukaryotic organisms.
- Researchers analyzed 22 Arabidopsis CAP genes to understand their similarities, locations, and expression patterns, noting that their functions are largely unknown aside from one that responds to pathogens.
- Results showed specific expression in young tissues and significant roles in lateral root development, particularly in cortical cells, indicating potential functional importance of CAP family proteins in plants.
Plant galls generated by insects have highly organized structures, providing nutrients and shelter to the insects living within them. Most research on the physiological and molecular mechanisms of gall development has focused on single galls. To understand the diversity of gall development, we examined five galls with different morphologies generated by distinct species of (gall midge; Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) on a single host plant of var.

Background And Aim: Dietary characteristics associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in non-obese patients remain to be elucidated. This study examined the association of NAFLD and MASLD with dietary characteristics according to obesity status.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 15 135 participants ( = 7568 men and 7567 women) aged 35-74 years using data of annual health checks between 2008 and 2020.

Aim: We investigated the pathway of autophagy signaling linked to sarcopenia of mice.
Methods: Young adult (3-month) and aged (24- month) C57BL/6J mice were used. Using real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemical microscopy, we evaluated the amounts of p62/SQSTM1, LC3, and Beclin-1 in the quadriceps muscle change with aging in mice.
