Spot‐14 and its paralog Spot‐14R regulate expression of metabolic and thermogenic pathway genes in murine brown and beige adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Spot‐14 and Spot‐14R play distinct roles in regulating metabolism in brown and beige adipocytes. While both influence lipid and glucose pathways, Spot‐14 uniquely controls thermogenic gene expression. This dual regulation balances energy storage and heat production, highlighting potential therapeutic targets for obesity and metabolic disorders. Spot 14

Evaluation of the Effects of Cultivar and Location on the Interaction of Lentil Seed Characteristics with Optimal Cooking Time

Seeds
The most important product of the lentil crop (Lens culinaris Medik) is the seeds. The main seed characteristics are their size, color, and the cooking time required to make them edible.

Improvement of Seed Quality by Priming: Concept and Biological Basis

Seeds, 2023
Presoaking seeds in water (hydropriming) or in a solution, usually of polyethylene glycol (PEG) or various salts at low water potential (osmopriming), has been demonstrated to improve the germination of seeds of numerous species including vegetables ...

Why it is sufficient to consider only the case where the seed of linear cellular automata is $1$ [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
When using a cellular automaton (CA) as a fractal generator, consider orbits from the single site seed, an initial configuration that gives only a single cell a positive value. In the case of a two-state CA, since the possible states of each cell are $0$ or $1$, the "seed" in the single site seed is uniquely determined to be the state $1$. However, for

STAT3 expression is reduced in cardiac pericytes in HFpEF and its loss reduces cellular adhesion and induces pericyte senescence

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Comparative Metagenomic Profiling of Seed-Borne Microbiomes in a Landrace and a Hybrid Maize Variety

Seeds
The plant seed-borne microbiome comprises microorganisms vertically inherited from the mother plant. This microbiome is often linked to early-life protection and seedling growth promotion.

Cytoplasmic delivery of antibodies through grafting a functional single complementarity‐determining region loop

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We achieved cytoplasmic delivery of non‐cell‐penetrating IgGs by grafting a single functional complementarity‐determining region 1 (CDR1) from the light chain variable region (VL) of the cell‐internalizable 3D8 antibody. The engineered IgG acquired cell‐penetrating ability while maintaining antigen affinity, highlighting CDR1 grafting as a promising ...

Seeds vs. Seedlings: The Long-Term Success of Seeds Versus Seedlings in the Restoration of the Federally Endangered Baptisia arachnifera (Fabaceae) During Experimental Planting

Seeds
The use of seeds versus seedlings may yield different restoration trajectories depending on seed germination (=seedling emergence) success in the of restoration plantings versus seedling establishment.
