Bridging maternal effects and epitranscriptomics: A novel perspective in developmental biology
Abstract Maternal effects, encompassing both genetic (maternally expressed gene products) and non‐genetic (maternal state) influences, are powerful determinants of offspring phenotype, yet their RNA‐level mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. In parallel, epitranscriptomics, an emerging field centered on chemical modifications to RNA, has revealed ...

Identification and analysis of RNA-5-methylcytosine-related key genes in osteoarthritis
Background 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification is widely associated with many biological and pathological processes. However, knowledge of m5C modification in osteoarthritis (OA) remains lacking.

Extension of the QuickFF force field protocol for an improved accuracy of structural, vibrational, mechanical and thermal properties of metal-organic frameworks [PDF]
QuickFF was originally launched in 2015 to derive accurate force fields for isolated and complex molecular systems in a quick and easy way. Apart from the general applicability, the functionality was especially tested for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs),

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials
ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Small‐Molecule Activation of mRNA Translation by Click‐to‐Release Reaction in Cells
A new method to control mRNA activity using bioorthogonal click‐to‐release reactions is presented. The 5′ cap is modified with a trans‐cyclooctene (TCO) that quickly reacts with hydroxyaryl‐tetrazines and efficiently releases the native cap 0. TCO‐capped mRNAs are initially translationally inactive but can be activated with non‐toxic, cell‐permeable ...

The how and why of lncRNA function: An innate immune perspective. [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing has provided a more complete picture of the composition of the human transcriptome indicating that much of the "blueprint" is a vastness of poorly understood non-protein-coding transcripts.

N6‐Methyladenosine (m6A) in Liver Disease: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence highlights the critical role of epigenetic modifications, particularly N6‐methyladenosine (m6A), in liver disease. As the most abundant RNA modification in eukaryotic cells, m6A is dynamically regulated by multicomponent m6A methyltransferases (e.g., METTL3 and METTL14), demethylases (FTO and ALKBH5), and m6A‐binding ...

A reference genome and methylome for the Plasmodium knowlesi A1-H.1 line. [PDF]
Plasmodium knowlesi, a common parasite of macaques, is recognised as a significant cause of human malaria in Malaysia. The P. knowlesi A1H1 line has been adapted to continuous culture in human erythrocytes, successfully providing an in vitro model to ...

Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect
Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.
