Deciphering the complex signaling networks in phytophthora infected plants: Insights into microbiome interactions and plant defense mechanisms.

Phytophthora species are destructive plant pathogens that cause severe economic losses in agriculture and natural ecosystems, known for their rapid spread through soil and water and resistance to conventional control methods. Understanding the complex signaling networks activated in plants during Phytophthora infection is crucial for developing effective management strategies. This review summarizes research findings on Phytophthora-plant interactions, with special emphasis on Phytophthora-plant microbiome interactions.

How Are Global Diet Quality Scores at 9 Years Associated With Cardiometabolic Disease Risk in Early Adolescence in Mysore, India?

Objective: The purpose of the study was to assess Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) at age 9.5 years and associated risk of cardiometabolic outcomes at 13.5 years in a birth cohort in Mysore, India.

Nanoscale Ligand Spacing Regulates Mechanical Force-Induced Cancer Cell Killing.

Cancer cells sense and respond to the extracellular environment, with differences in nanoscale ligand spacing affecting their behavior. Emerging reports show that stretch/ultrasound-mediated mechanical forces promote apoptosis (mechanoptosis) by increasing myosin contractility. Since myosin contractility is critical for nanoscale-ligand spacing-regulated cell behavior, we study the effect of ligand spacing on mechanoptosis.

Impacts of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Natural Elixirs for Neuronal Health, on Brain Development and Functions.

Omega-3 fatty acids play a seminal role in maintaining the structural and functional integrity of the nervous system. These specialized molecules function as precursors for many lipid-based biological messengers. Also, studies suggest the role of these fatty acids in regulating healthy sleep cycles, cognitive ability, brain development, etc.
