The relationship between a variety's genotype, environmental conditions and phytopathogenic load are the key factors contributing to high yields that should be taken into account in selecting donors for resistance and high manifestation of valuable traits. The study of leaf rust resistance in 49 common wheat varieties was carried out in the field against the natural pathogen background and under laboratory conditions using single-pustule isolates with virulence to Lr9 and Lr24. It has been shown that the varieties carrying alien genes Lr6Agi2 (Tulaikovskaya 10) and Lr6Agi1 (Voevoda) were resistant to leaf rust infection both in the field and in the laboratory.

Boron neutron capture therapy is a perspective selective technology for the destruction of cancer cells, while the use of lithium instead of boron may represent a new and promising vector for the development of neutron capture therapy (NCT). The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the cytotoxicity of various lithium salts, as well as an analysis of the accumulation of lithium in tumor cells in vitro to determine the possibility of using lithium in NCT. The cytotoxicity of lithium salts was determined using MTT-test and colony forming assay on human fibroblasts BJ-5ta, human skin melanoma SK-Mel-28, and mouse skin melanoma B16 cell lines.

Heart failure is a leading cause of death in patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction. Despite the timely use of modern reperfusion therapies such as thrombolysis, surgical revascularization and balloon angioplasty, they are sometimes unable to prevent the development of significant areas of myocardial damage and subsequent heart failure. Research efforts have focused on developing strategies to improve the functional status of myocardial injury areas.

Combining antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) has shown promise in boosting antimicrobial potency, especially against Gram-negative bacteria. We examined the CPP-AMP interaction with distinct bacterial types based on cell wall differences. Our investigation focused on AMPs incorporating penetratin CPP and dihybrid peptides containing both cell-penetrating TAT protein fragments from the human immunodeficiency virus and Antennapedia peptide (Antp).

It is known that the unfavorable outcome in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 may be associated with the development of complications caused by heart damage due to the direct virus action. The mechanism of these cardiovascular injuries caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection has not been fully understood; however, the study of COVID-19-associated myocardial microcirculatory dysfunction can represent the useful strategy to solving this challenge. Thus, here we aimed to study the ultrastructural organization of endothelial cells of myocardial capillaries in patients with COVID-19.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been associated with hepatitis C viral (HCV) infection as a potential risk factor. Nonetheless, the precise genetic regulatory mechanisms triggered by the virus, leading to virus-induced hepatocarcinogenesis, remain unclear. We hypothesized that HCV proteins might modulate the activity of aberrantly methylated HCC genes through regulatory pathways.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers compared 130 T1D subjects to 27 control individuals, measuring 44 different cytokines to assess the relationship between these molecules and time in glucose range (TIR).
  • * Findings revealed that higher levels of specific cytokines in T1D patients were linked to lower TIR percentages, indicating that these inflammatory markers may play a role in diabetes complications.

Nocturnal hypoglycemia (NH) is a potentially dangerous and underestimated complication of insulin therapy. In this study, we aimed to determine which patterns of nocturnal glucose profiles are associated with NH in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) managed with multiple daily insulin injections. A dataset of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) recordings obtained from 395 adult subjects with T1D was used for modeling.

Introduction: Recently, there has been a steady upward trend in life expectancy, so it is extremely important to remember some of the features of the body associated specifically with aging. Thus, an important topic for discussion is the issue of ensuring the quality of life of an elderly woman. The prevalence of urinary incontinence in patients of the older age group leads to significant restrictions in their social life.

  • Early maturity in spring bread wheat helps plants avoid high temperatures and diseases late in the growing season.
  • Researchers conducted a study over 11 years using SNP genotyping to find genetic factors associated with maturity.
  • Significant genetic loci related to wheat maturity were identified on chromosomes 2A, 3B, 4A, 5B, 7A, and 7B, with a particular focus on the 7BL locus, which was linked to a 9-day faster maturity, highlighting two promising candidate genes (bZIP9 and photosystem II reaction center).

One of the most common congenital metabolic disorders is familial hypercholesterolemia. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a condition caused by a type of genetic defect leading to a decreased rate of removal of low-density lipoproteins from the bloodstream and a pronounced increase in the blood level of total cholesterol. This disease leads to the early development of cardiovascular diseases of atherosclerotic etiology.

Tumor Necrosis Factor Superfamily (TNFSF) and Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily (TNFRSF) molecules play an essential role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory reactions and may be involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this study, we aimed to assess serum levels of TNFSF and TNFRSF peptides in T1D subjects depending on their clinical and metabolic parameters. Fifty-eight adults with T1D and 19 individuals with normal glucose tolerance (control) were included in the study.

  • The study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of a betulonic acid-based compound (BABCF) in male C57BL/6 mice, particularly in those treated with the cytostatic agent cyclophosphamide (CP).
  • BABCF significantly increased the expression of the GM-KSF gene and IL-12 in peritoneal cavity cells while also restoring T-lymphocyte levels, especially CD3⁺CD4⁺ subsets, in the blood of CP-treated mice.
  • The findings suggest that BABCF enhances immune function by promoting T-lymphocyte migration from central immune organs while affecting thymic tissue density.

Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) is of great interest as an insurance crop that can ensure the stability of the gross harvest of feed and food grains at a lower cost. In Western Siberia, only winter triticale varieties are cultivated, however, spring triticales are important for cultivation in regions not suitable for winter crops. To create spring varieties with high yields and good grain quality, it is necessary to study and enrich the gene pool, identify donors of economically valuable traits.
