Stratified by age (<35/≥35 years), outcomes (clinical pregnancy, live birth, multiple pregnancy, preterm birth) were analyzed using non-parametric tests and chi-square.

LDHB suppresses the PDCoV proliferation by targeting viral nucleocapsid protein for autophagic degradation.

Unlabelled: Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a newly identified enteric coronavirus that causes serious diarrhea and vomiting in pigs, leading to substantial economic losses globally. Studying the molecular interactions between virus and host proteins is crucial for developing new anti-PDCoV strategies. Here, the role and mechanism of lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) in PDCoV replication were investigated.

exacerbates colitis via STAT3 activation induced by Acetyl-CoA accumulation.

() has emerged as a potential contributor to ulcerative colitis (UC) pathogenesis, although the specific mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study demonstrates that promotes colitis by disrupting intestinal barrier integrity, inducing apoptosis in epithelial cells, and modulating inflammatory pathways. Furthermore, we demonstrate that promotes STAT3 acetylation at K685, followed by phosphorylation at Y705, thereby enhancing its transcriptional activity and exacerbating colitis severity.

Metformin attenuates colitis via blocking STAT3 acetylation by reducing acetyl-CoA production.

Background And Aims: While metformin has been shown to alleviate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in murine models, the mechanisms underlying its anti-inflammatory and barrier-restorative effects remain poorly defined. This study investigates the role of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA)-dependent STAT3 acetylation in mediating metformin's therapeutic actions, with the goal of identifying novel molecular targets for ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment.

Methods: Acute colitis was induced in wild-type C57BL/6J mice via oral DSS administration, followed by daily intraperitoneal metformin treatment.

Environmental Health and Safety Implications of the Interplay Between Microplastics and the Residing Biofilm.

The increasing prevalence of microplastics in the environment has raised concerns about their potential environmental and health implications. Biofilms readily colonize microplastics upon their entry into the environment, altering their surface characteristics. While most studies have explored how biofilms influence the adsorption and transportation of other contaminants by microplastics, the reciprocal interplay between microplastics and biofilms and the resulting ecological risks remain understudied.
