Ionizing Radiation Dose Differentially Affects the Host–Microbe Relationship over Time

Microorganisms
Microorganisms that colonize in or on a host play significant roles in regulating the host’s immunological fitness and bioenergy production, thus controlling the host’s stress responses. Radiation elicits a pro-inflammatory and bioenergy-expensive state,

Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐

Impact of dietary changes on retinal neuronal plasticity in rodent models of physical and psychological trauma

Frontiers in Genetics
IntroductionBlast injury has been implicated as the major cause of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and ocular system injury, in military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Soldiers exposed to traumatic stress also have undiagnosed, chronic vision problems.

MagmaFlow: A desktop platform for artificial intelligence‐driven expression analysis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
MagmaFlow is a free, no‐code platform for gene expression analysis. It generates interactive volcano plots, links genes to literature, pathways, and diseases, prioritizes candidates using millions of publications, identifies affected biological processes, builds network diagrams, and exports publication‐ready figures and reports for macOS and Windows ...

Mitochondrial genome of Bactrocera fruit flies (Tephritidae: Dacini): features, structure, and significance for diagnosis

BMC Genomics
Background True fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the most destructive pests of fruit and vegetables worldwide and are on the top of quarantine pest lists. To respond effectively to a fruit fly invasion, we need to identify the species rapidly

Analysis of the effects of spaceflight and local administration of thrombopoietin to a femoral defect injury on distal skeletal sites

npj Microgravity, 2021
With increased human presence in space, bone loss and fractures will occur. Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a recently patented bone healing agent. Here, we investigated the systemic effects of TPO on mice subjected to spaceflight and sustaining a bone fracture.

Identification of (20R)‐protopanaxadiol from Panax ginseng as a novel anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 compound

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We established a noninfectious BAC‐based SARS‐CoV‐2 replicon that enables antiviral screening under BSL‐2 conditions. Using this platform, we screened 373 food‐derived compounds and identified (20R)‐protopanaxadiol from Panax ginseng as a novel inhibitor of SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA replication, highlighting the value of safe replicon systems for antiviral ...

Purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 for phase separation studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...
