Article Abstract
The mechanisms of brucellosis transmission are diverse and complex, especially the role of young animals in the spread of brucellosis has not been well studied. In this article, a new deterministic system that incorporates various stages of susceptible individuals and time delay of infection is proposed. Under general biological assumptions, the qualitative properties and stability of the system are studied, the results illustrate that the global dynamics of equilibrium points depend on the basic reproduction number ₀: If ₀≤1, animal brucellosis will eventually die out; and if ₀>1, animal brucellosis is persistent and eventually tends to the endemic steady state. These results suggest that distributed time delay is harmless for the dynamics of the spread of brucellosis when ₀ is greater than one or less than or equal to one. Finally, periodic phenomena are found by numerical analysis if the assumptions are not true.

The regulation of photoperiod and light intensity significantly affected Agastache rugosa by enhancing growth, modifying flowering dynamics, and promoting the accumulation of key phenolic compounds. Agastache rugosa is a medicinal and aromatic plant valued for its bioactive compounds, which contribute to its application in the flavoring, perfume, and food industries. However, variability in the composition of the bioactive compounds poses challenges for its commercial utilization.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies globally, driven by complex molecular mechanisms that contribute to its progression and metastasis. This study focuses on the role of N1-methyladenosine (mA) RNA methylation in CRC, particularly its effect on Rab Interacting Lysosomal Protein-Like 1 (RILPL1) expression and the downstream activation of the CaMKII/CREB signaling pathway. Bioinformatics analysis identified RILPL1 as a key gene associated with poor CRC prognosis, exhibiting increased expression levels in cancerous tissues, with further elevation in metastatic samples.

Glacial lakes play a vital role as indicators of global climate change and regional environmental responses. Eukaryotic planktonic microorganisms, pivotal in driving biogeochemical cycling of nutrients within these ecosystems, are crucial for preserving stability and ecological function of glacial lake environments. Nevertheless, the spatial and temporal dynamics, along with the mechanisms responsible for sustaining eukaryotic planktonic microbial communities in glacial lakes, especially during the glacier retreat and lake formation, are still largely uncharted.

The global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a serious threat to public health, with hospital wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) recognized as a key hotspot for resistant pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This study employed advanced hybrid sequencing platforms to provide a comprehensive resistomic analysis of a Qingdao WWTP in China, revealing previously uncovered AMR transmission risks. We identified 175 ARG subtypes conferring resistance to 38 antimicrobials, including the last-resort antibiotics, highlighting the extensive and concerning resistance reservoir within this environment.

Mitochondria are dynamic systems adapted to the different cellular demands. In this context, it is hypothesized that lipids, and particularly fatty acids, are also affected by these adaptations and supported at transcriptional level. By analyzing seven mammalian organs from rats, covering the three germ layers and belonging to the four basic types of tissue, we evaluated the differences in the lipidome's fatty acid profiles, calculated fatty acid-derived parameters including susceptibility to lipid peroxidation, and estimated enzymatic activity.
