Mammalian spermatogenesis is a tightly controlled cellular process including spermatogonial development and differentiation, meiosis of spermatocyte, and the morphological specification of haploid spermatozoa, during which the post-transcriptional gene regulations are vital but poorly understood. Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), a highly conserved post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism of gene expression in eukaryotes, recently emerges as a licensing mechanism in cell fate transition, including stem cell differentiation and organogenesis. The function of NMD in spermatogonial development remains elusive.

Investigation on the rotary atomization evaporation of high-salinity desulfurization wastewater: Performance and products insights.

J Environ Manage

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Energy Thermal Conversion and Control of Ministry Education, School of Energy and Environment, Southeast University, Nanjing, 210096, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • * Results show that high-salinity wastewater droplets are 20-50% larger than those from conventional wastewater, impacting evaporation rates and dynamics.
  • * Despite slower evaporation rates, higher salinity leads to shorter total evaporation durations, resulting in reduced energy consumption and creating viscous evaporation products with poor flowability.

Department of Sports Medicine, Sports Medicine Institute, Beijing Key Laboratory of Sports Injuries, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing, China.

Degenerative tendon injuries are common clinical problems associated with overuse or aging, and understanding the mechanisms of tendon injury and regeneration can contribute to the study of tendon healing and repair. As a transcription factor, Mohawk (Mkx) is responsible for tendons development, yet, the roles of which in tendon damage remain mostly elusive. In this study, using Mkx overexpressed mice on long treadmill as an in vivo model and Mkx Achilles tenocytes stimulated by equiaxial stretch as an in vitro model, we anaylsed the effects of Mkx overexpression on the tendon.

The Key Laboratory of Biomedical Information Engineering of Ministry of Education, Institute of Health and Rehabilitation Science, School of Life Science and Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • PRKCH is part of the PKC family and may play a crucial role in cell growth and differentiation, particularly in glioma, which is a common and aggressive brain tumor.
  • A study involving 160 glioma patients found that PRKCH levels were significantly higher in tumor tissues compared to adjacent tissues, and its expression correlated with poor prognosis and shortened survival.
  • The findings suggest that PRKCH enhances the characteristics and viability of glioma stem cells, indicating it could be a potential target for therapeutic intervention in glioma treatment.*

State Key Laboratory of Cancer Biology, Department of Pathology, Xijing Hospital and School of Basic Medicine, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China. Electronic address:

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. It has a poor 5-year survival rate, a high recurrence rate, and few therapeutic options. Exploring the molecular processes underlying the formation and progression of GBM, as well as identifying novel therapeutic targets, is critical for improving GBM therapy and prognosis.

Essential role of MALAT1 in reducing traumatic brain injury.

Neural Regen Res

Department of Neurosurgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing; Department of Neurosurgery, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University (Qingdao Campus), Qingdao, Shandong Province, China.

As a highly evolutionary conserved long non-coding RNA, metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) was first demonstrated to be related to lung tumor metastasis by promoting angiogenesis. To investigate the role of MALAT1 in traumatic brain injury, we established mouse models of controlled cortical impact and cell models of oxygen-glucose deprivation to mimic traumatic brain injury in vitro and in vivo. The results revealed that MALAT1 silencing in vitro inhibited endothelial cell viability and tube formation but increased migration.

As a highly evolutionary conserved lncRNA, MALAT1 was first demonstrated to associate with metastasis of lung tumor by promoting angiogenesis. Activated vasculature was recently indicated to assist neurogenesis by secreting neurotrophic factor Ang1 (Angiopoietin-1). The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential role of MALAT1 in angiogenesis following traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Background And Target: Following brain trauma, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and inflammatory response are critical pathological steps contributing to secondary injury, leading to high mortality and morbidity. Both pathologies are closely associated with endothelial remodeling. In the present study, we concentrated on annexin A1 (ANXA1) as a novel regulator of endothelial function after traumatic brain injury.

Emergence of multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens is escalating and it is essential to develop novel strategies to combat these super bugs. LasR is a regulator switch that plays a vital role in quorum sensing (QS) and pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The present study reports two novel Mannich base (1-(phenyl (o-tolylamino) methyl) urea and 3-((1H-Imidazole-1-yl) methylnaphthalene-2-ol with enhanced anti-QS and antibiofilm activities.

Mannich bases and its derivatives are regarded as supreme pharmacophores in therapeutics. The study investigates the antimycotic potential of Mannich bases, 1-((1H-benzimidazol-1-yl) methyl) urea (C1) and 1-((3-hydroxynapthalen-2-yl) methyl) thiourea (C2), against Candida albicans. Biofilm and hyphal inhibitory activities of the Mannich bases were tested by crystal violet quantification, fluorescence imaging cAMP rescue, qRT PCR, and by molecular docking analysis.
