Article Abstract
As a multifunctional protein involved in numerous biological processes, Set is expressed in several embryonic and adult organs. Furthermore, Set is overexpressed in numerous types of human cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. The expression of Set in germ cells is involved in gonad development, and the overexpression of Set has been observed in polycystic ovaries. In order to elucidate the physiological and pathological roles of Set, a Set transgenic mouse model was developed, in which the global overexpression of Set in adult tissues could be induced via the Cre/loxP system with the precise deletion of the Stop fragment in double-transgenic hybrids. This result was then confirmed by genotypical and protein analysis using polymerase chain reaction and bioluminescence imaging. In conclusion, the conditional Set transgenic mice carrying a reporter system were successfully generated. The transgenic mice open a new window for the further investigation of the function of Set using tissue-specific Cre mice and inducible Cre systems.

The class Hexacorallia, encompassing stony corals and sea anemones, plays a critical role in marine ecosystems. Coral bleaching, the disruption of the symbiosis between stony corals and zooxanthellate algae, is driven by seawater warming and further exacerbated by pathogenic microbes. However, how pathogens, especially viruses, contribute to accelerated bleaching remains poorly understood.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of -Amyloid and proteins in the brain that causes dementia. To date, there is no cure capable of eradicating AD, so it is necessary to study a performing therapy. The NECTAR project aims to investigate an extension of the conventional Boron Neutron Capture Therapy principles as a possible treatment for AD at different scales (protein, cells, animal).

Background And Purpose: Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are prescribed many medications for symptomatic relief. However, how potential alterations to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) affect the brain exposure of drugs in ALS remains under-investigated.
Experimental Approach: We used high-dimensional proteomic analysis, cellular metabolism, and mitochondrial functional assays to characterise isolated brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) from wildtype and SOD1 transgenic mice, a mouse model of familial ALS, at a late-symptomatic age (P115-120), together with a transcardiac brain perfusion technique to assess BBB function in situ.

Appressoria are specialized penetration structures for many plant pathogenic fungi, including the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, which evolves a set of complicated regulatory mechanisms to control appressorium development and function. Cell cycle control is essential for appressorium-mediated penetration, but the mechanism underlying its role remains largely elusive. Here, a conserved protein MoMtg1 is identified in filamentous fungi as a novel transcriptional repressor that plays a crucial role in cell cycle regulation.

The global food system has inadequately addressed complex societal challenges, including climate change and nutritional deficiencies. There is an increasing recognition of the interconnectedness of human and planetary health in food production and consumption. Several policy interventions exist to tackle food-related nutritional and environmental aspects and influence consumer decision-making towards nutritious and environmentally friendly options.
