Proteomic associations with fluctuation and long‐term changes in BMI: A 40‐year follow‐up study
Abstract Introduction While some studies have explored associations between weight change and blood proteins, most have been intervention‐based, offering limited insight into proteomic associations with long‐term weight gain. It remains unclear whether plasma proteins are related to BMI fluctuation over time.

A workflow for identifying sustainable anti‐ageing solutions from agricultural crop and food production residues (ACFPR). A combination of in silico techniques, like database interrogations, target predictions, molecular docking, and ADME predictions can pave the way for the development of innovative, eco‐friendly anti‐ageing cosmetics.

The molecular mechanisms of defensive‐grade organic acid biosynthesis in ground beetles
Formic acid and methacrylic acid are the primary defensive chemicals in the pygidial gland secretions of Platynus angustatus and Pterostichus moestus, respectively. Comparative transcriptomics suggests the folate cycle and valine catabolism may be involved in the biosynthesis of formic acid and methacrylic acid, respectively.

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Stereochemical insights into sarpagan and akuammiline alkaloid biosynthesis
Summary Sarpagan and akuammiline monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) are a class of bioactive plant‐derived compounds with significant pharmaceutical potential. These alkaloids are formed through oxidative cyclization of geissoschizine, catalyzed by homologous cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP) known as sarpagan bridge enzymes (SBEs) and rhazimal ...

Engineering Gypsophila elegans hairy root cultures to produce endosomal escape‐enhancing saponins
Summary The limited cytosolic delivery of DNA and protein‐based therapeutics due to endosomal entrapment reduces drug efficacy, increasing treatment costs and possible side effects in human and veterinary medicine as a consequence of higher administered dosages.

ABSTRACT To identify novel genes engaged in plant epidermal development, we characterized the phenotypic variability of rosette leaf epidermis of 310 sequenced Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, focusing on trichome shape and distribution, compositional characteristics of the trichome cell wall, and histologically detectable metal ion distribution.
