Innate immunity shapes the persistent transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
In this review, we focus on two key aspects of the virus–vector interplay: (1) persistently transmitted viruses utilize host factors to overcome transmission barriers; and (2) molecular recognition activates antiviral immunity and subsequent viral counter‐defense. Understanding these interactions offers critical insights for developing novel strategies

Targeting of reactive isolevuglandins in mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation. [PDF]

, 2019
Inflammation is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Western societies. Despite use of multiple drugs, both chronic and acute inflammation still represent major health burdens.

x‐Ray Structure of Streptomyces avermitilis Phospholipase D Reveals a Ca2+‐Stabilized Expanded Active‐Site Cleft Adapted for Phospholipid Binding

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phospholipids to generate phosphatidic acid and free head groups such as choline. Among bacterial PLD enzymes, Streptomyces chromofuscus PLD (SchPLD), a member of the alkaline phosphatase D (PhoD) superfamily, exhibits unique Ca2+‐dependent phospholipase activity.

PFOA Exposure Elicits Quantitative Lipidomic Changes in the Pancreas in a Mouse Model of Pancreatic Cancer

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US and predicted to rise to second by 2030. Several risk factors have been identified as potential contributors to pancreatic cancer development including lifestyle factors and long‐term exposure to occupational and environmental carcinogens.

High‐Altitude Adaptation of Frogs (Case Study: Nanorana parkeri): From Physiological Phenotypes to AltitudeOmics

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

Phosphatidylserine Decarboxylase Regulates Retinal Ganglion Cell Neurite Outgrowth with Altered Somal Membrane Fluidics and Mitochondrial Morphology

Biomolecules
Mitochondrial lipid metabolism is an emerging regulator of neuronal regeneration, yet its role remains poorly defined. We investigated the function of phosphatidylserine decarboxylase (PSD), a mitochondrial enzyme that converts phosphatidylserine to ...

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated Genome‐editing Reveals 10 Testis‐enriched Genes and One Non‐testis‐enriched Gene are Dispensable for Male Fecundity in Mice

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background More than 1000 genes have been identified as predominantly expressed in the human testis. Advances in gene editing technologies have enabled the rapid and efficient generation of genetically engineered mice. This approach facilitates the screening of genes essential for spermatogenesis by analyzing knockout mouse models.

Cannabidiol and cannabigerol ameliorate steatotic liver disease via phosphocreatine buffering and lysosomal restoration

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) alleviate hepatic steatosis in obese mice by shifting energy buffering towards phosphocreatine and enhancing lysosomal lipid degradation and trafficking. These effects are associated with increased creatine kinase activity and lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) levels, highlighting a previously unrecognised ...

Cold‐Induced Lipidomic Remodelling Is Associated With Brown Adipose Tissue Mean Radiodensity in Humans

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Cold exposure activates brown adipose tissue (BAT) and promotes thermogenic and metabolic adaptations. While BAT activation has been linked to improved cardiometabolic health, how acute cold exposure reshapes the circulating lipidome in humans remains incompletely understood.
