Characterization of Triacylglycerol Dynamics and Lipid Metabolism in the Beetle Tribolium castaneum
Tribolium castaneum larvae accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) during development, while adults rapidly deplete reserves post‐emergence. Under starvation, beetles prioritize protein catabolism over lipid mobilization, despite increased expression of lipolysis genes, revealing stage‐specific metabolic adaptations in this model insect.

Learning from yeasts: intracellular sensing of stress conditions [PDF]
One intriguing challenge in modern biology is to understand how cells respond to, and distinguish between different stressing stimuli. Evidence accumulated in recent years indicates that a network of signaling pathways extends from the plasma membrane to

Metabolomics-based biomarker discovery for bee health monitoring : a proof of concept study concerning nutritional stress in Bombus terrestris [PDF]
Bee pollinators are exposed to multiple natural and anthropogenic stressors. Understanding the effects of a single stressor in the complex environmental context of antagonistic/synergistic interactions is critical to pollinator monitoring and may serve ...

Transcriptome sequencing of seedlings treated with 1 g/L PET nanoplastics (3 and 7 days) revealed genes associated with trehalose biosynthesis (SiTPS/SiTPP) and degradation (SiTRE) were dynamically regulated, suggesting trehalose homeostasis as a critical stress‐response mechanism.

Transcriptomic analyses reveal an age‐related decline in autophagy pathways in RPE/choroid. These pathways remain unchanged in early AMD but become bidirectionally dysregulated in later stages, along with increased RPE loss. Pre‐treatment with trehalose eyedrops enhances RPE autophagy flux and prevents light‐induced outer retinal degeneration in mice ...

Trehalose accumulation induced during the oxidative stress response is independent of TPS1 mRNA levels in Candida albicans [PDF]
Growing cells of the Candida albicans trehalose- deficient mutant tps1/tps1 were extremely sensitive to severe oxidative stress exposure (H2O2). However, their viability was not affected after saline stress or heatshock treatments, being roughly ...
