Immunolocalization of glutaredoxin in the human corpus luteum [PDF]
Glutaredoxin (Grx) is a small protein with oxidoreductase activity which is involved in the cellular defence against oxidative stress. Corpus luteum (CL) regression has been related to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We have studied the presence of glutaredoxin in the human ovary during the ovulatory cycle using polyclonal antibodies ...

Background Although selenium (Se) plays important roles in scavenging free radicals, alleviating oxidative stresses, and strengthening immune system, the knowledge about Se responses in bread wheat is still limited.

Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) tillering is a critical determinant of grain yield, yet the genetic mechanisms underlying non‐productive tillers remain poorly understood. Here, we report a novel high‐tillering (HT) phenotype derived from a cross between the elite cultivar Milyang23 and weedy rice Hapcheonaengmi3. The HT phenotype was absent in parental

S-glutathionylation reactions in mitochondrial function and disease
Mitochondria are highly efficient energy-transforming organelles that convert energy stored in carbon bonds into the universal energy currency ATP. The production of ATP by mitochondria is dependent on oxidation of nutrients and coupling of exergonic ...

Protein-S-glutathionylation is a post-translational modification involving the conjugation of glutathione to protein thiols, which can modulate the activity and structure of key cellular proteins.

Abstract Flag leaf morphology (FLM) is a critical determinant of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) photosynthetic efficiency and grain yield. Chinese endemic wheat, a unique genetic reservoir formed by long‐term adaptation to diverse and heterogeneous environments in China, harbors abundant, untapped allelic variation for traits related to environmental ...

Cytokinin–phyB signaling modulates PSII photochemistry during prolonged darkness. Summary Cytokinins (CKs) delay dark‐induced senescence, but how they tune photosynthetic function in darkness remains unclear. We investigated the effects of classical aromatic CK benzylaminopurine and CK‐derived compound 1‐(2‐methoxyethyl)‐3‐(1,2,3‐thiadiazol‐5‐yl)urea ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

The 3‐Hit Metabolic Signaling Model for Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Summary
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable yet environmentally sensitive neurodevelopmental condition whose biological heterogeneity has resisted a unifying causal explanation for over 100 years. The 3‐hit metabolic signaling model proposes that ASD arises from abnormal persistence of an evolutionarily conserved stress‐response ...

Liver Fibrosis: Molecular Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Interventions
We systematically summarized the etiologies, diagnostic approaches, and pathogenic mechanisms of liver fibrosis. Also, the therapeutic interventions for liver fibrosis were systematically classified into two main categories: etiological treatment and mechanism‐based antifibrotic therapies.
