The aging paradox of Cushing's syndrome: Stress without clear senescence?
Abstract Cushing's syndrome (CS), characterized by chronic endogenous hypercortisolism and disruption of the normal circadian cortisol rhythm, represents a unique human model for investigating the interplay between stress endocrinology and biological aging.

Structure and sequence evolution in the pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) pangenome
Summary Eukaryotic genomes harbor many forms of variation, including nucleotide diversity and structural polymorphisms, which experience natural selection and contribute to genome evolution and biodiversity. Harnessing this variation for agriculture hinges on our ability to detect, quantify, catalog, and deploy genetic diversity. Here, we explore seven

PWO proteins are associated with PRC2 since their emergence in vascular plants
Summary The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a conserved histone methyltransferase complex, plays a central role in transcriptional silencing across eukaryotes. Here, we investigate the evolution of PWWP‐DOMAIN INTERACTORS OF POLYCOMBS (PWOs), which interact with PRC2, and examine the conservation of the PWOs‐PRC2 interaction across plant ...

ABSTRACT Gynostemma pentaphyllum, a herb used in tea and traditional Chinese medicine, shows geographic variation in its production of valuable dammarane‐type ginsenosides and gypenoside LVI between populations from Suining (SN) and Nanning (NN). To elucidate the mechanisms underlying this differential metabolite accumulation, a chromosome‐level genome

Multi‐Omics Insights Into Anthraquinone Biosynthesis in Rheum tanguticum
ABSTRACT Rheum tanguticum is renowned for its medicinal properties, including purgative, anti‐inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects, primarily attributed to anthraquinones (AQs). However, the molecular mechanisms of AQs biosynthesis have largely been hindered by insufficient genomic resources and functional genomics investigations.

ABSTRACT Belamcanda chinensis is a non‐leguminous medicinal plant rich in bioactive isoflavones; however, the lack of a high‐quality reference genome has limited elucidation of its isoflavone biosynthetic and modification network. Here, we present the first near telomere‐to‐telomere genome assembly of B.
