Article Abstract
Plants are inherently dynamic. Dynamics minimize stress while enabling plants to flexibly acquire resources. Three examples are presented for plants tolerating saline soil: transport of sodium chloride (NaCl), water and macronutrients is nonuniform along a branched root; water and NaCl redistribute between shoot and soil at night-time; and ATP for salt exclusion is much lower in thinner branch roots than main roots, quantified using a biophysical model and geometry from anatomy. Noninvasive phenotyping and precision agriculture technologies can be used together to harness plant dynamics, but analytical methods are needed. A plant advancing in time through a soil and atmosphere space is proposed as a framework for dynamic data and their relationship to crop improvement.

The improper use of chemical pesticides threatens ecosystems and human health, highlighting the need for sustainable alternatives. Nano-pesticides and biological control agents offer a solution, and their combination can reduce pesticide usage and improve pest control efficacy. This study utilized a star polycation (SPc) to prepare a metaflumizone nano-pesticide and combined it with the egg parasitoid (Telenomus remus) for synergistic pest management.

Glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity represents a common pathomechanism in neurological disorders. As the predominant glutamate transporter in the central nervous system, glutamate transporter 1 (GLT-1, known as EAAT2 in humans) plays a crucial role in maintaining glutamate homeostasis and preventing excitotoxicity through its Na⁺-dependent transport mechanism. Key functions of GLT-1 include reducing extracellular glutamate concentration, regulating calcium homeostasis, suppressing oxidative stress, preserving mitochondrial integrity, and modulating neuroinflammatory processes by limiting microglial activation.

Cancer is a leading cause of global mortality, significantly impacted by treatment resistance and the toxicity of conventional therapies like chemotherapy and radiation. Recent studies show that anastasis-the recovery of cells from near-death states-as a key mechanism promoting cancer relapse and apoptosis resistance. During anastasis, stress-induced caspase activation allows cancer cells to survive, increase chemoresistance, and enhance metastatic potential.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major global health threat owing to its multi-drug resistance, creating an urgent need for novel antibiotics. This study focused on developing anti-MRSA agents by designing and synthesizing 30 xanthotoxin-pyridine quaternary ammonium derivatives, followed by evaluating their antibacterial activity and dissecting their mechanism of action against MRSA. Among all derivatives, III13 demonstrated as the most promising candidate: it exhibited potent anti-MRSA activity (MIC = 1 μg/mL), low cytotoxicity, minimal hemolysis, rapid bactericidal effects, and the ability to disrupt biofilms.

Plants are constantly exposed to environmental changes and must respond carefully to ensure survival and growth. Under high temperatures, many plants exhibit a series of morphological and developmental adjustments, including increased hypocotyl and petiole elongation. These adaptations, collectively termed thermomorphogenesis, promote transpiration and water loss, thereby enhancing evaporative cooling.
