Article Abstract
This study investigated the effect of different photoperiods (14L: 10D, 12L:12D and 10L:14D) on the gonadal development and GtH mRNA expression in the pituitary of damselfish. The results showed that gonadosomatic index (GSI) was significantly lower in shot photoperiod (10L:14D), in comparison with other photoperiodic group during the spawning season. After 60 days treatment, histological analysis of gonad tissue showed that the gonad of 10L:14D and 12L: 12D treatment groups were resting phase with spermatogonia and perinucleolus stage oocytes but the gonad of 14L:10D treatment group was still ripe phase with spermatozoa and mature stage oocyte. The FSHβ and LHβ mRNA expression in pituitary drastically decreased shot photoperiod treatment from July (spawning period). These results suggest that photoperiod is considered to be the most effective environmental factor in controlling the reproductive cycle of damselfish.

Irisin, a myokine/adipokine released during physical activity, has attracted attention for its regulatory effects on various physiological processes, including metabolism and reproduction. This study was performed to investigate the presence of fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5) in chicken granulosa cells (GCs) using immunocytochemistry and to assess the effect of irisin, the extracellular fragment of FNDC5, on these cells, which play a crucial role in progesterone (P4) production and follicle maturation. We measured cell viability, mRNA expression of the luteinising hormone receptor (LHR), the expression of steroidogenic genes (StAR, CYP11A1, and 3BHSD), and P4 secretion in GCs of chicken ovarian follicles.

N6-methyladenosine (mA) modification, primarily regulated by methyltransferase-like protein 3 (METTL3), plays a pivotal role in RNA metabolism and leukemogenesis. However, the post-translational mechanisms governing METTL3 stability and function remain incompletely understood. Given the widespread occurrence of O-GlcNAcylation on nuclear and cytosolic proteins, we hypothesized that METTL3 might undergo O-GlcNAcylation, thereby influencing its stability and oncogenic function in myeloid malignancies.

Introduction: The increasing use of biodegradable plastics has led to the inevitable human consumption of biodegradable microplastics (MPs). These MPs can be degraded and absorbed into various organs and tissues via the gastrointestinal tract, with the liver being the primary target for digestion and absorption.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects and mechanisms of biodegradable MPs on the liver following gastrointestinal degradation.

Methamphetamine is a highly addictive psychostimulant with significant neurobiological consequences, yet strain-dependent differences in its effects remain poorly understood. This study investigated behavioral and molecular differences in Swiss-Webster and C57BL/6 mice following methamphetamine exposure. Swiss-Webster mice exhibited greater behavioral sensitivity to methamphetamine compared to C57BL/6 mice, as demonstrated by lower peak doses required to elicit locomotor stimulation and conditioned place preference.

Since the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019, the cumulative number of confirmed cases worldwide has surpassed 778 million, and the number of deaths has exceeded 7 million, posing a significant threat to human life and health while inflicting enormous losses on the global economy. At the stage where sequential immunization is recommended, there is a pressing demand for mRNA vaccines that can be rapidly adapted to new sequences, are easy to industrialize, and exhibit high safety and effectiveness. We developed a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) system, designated as WNP, which facilitates essentially in situ expression at the injection site and results in lower levels of pro-inflammatory factors in the liver, thus enhancing its safety compared to liver-targeted alternatives.
