Small Molecular Accurate Recognition Technology (SMART 2.0) has recently been introduced as a NMR-based machine learning tool for the discovery and characterization of natural products. We attempted targeted isolation of sesquiterpene lactones from with the aid of structural annotation by SMART 2.0 and chemical profiling. Eight germacrene-type ( and ) and two eudesmane-type sesquiterpene lactones ( and ) were isolated from the whole plant of . With the guidance of the results of the subfractions from obtained by SMART 2.0, their cytotoxic activities were evaluated against five cancer cells (SKOV3, A549, PC3, HEp-2, and MCF-7). Compounds and exhibited IC values of 3.9 ± 1.2 and 3.9 ± 0.6 μM against prostate cancer cells, PC3, respectively. Compound showed good cytotoxicity with IC values of 5.8 ± 0.1 μM against breast cancer cells, MCF-7. In the present study, the rapid annotation of the mixture of compounds in a fraction by the NMR-based machine learning tool helped the targeted isolation of bioactive compounds from natural products.

Despite growing recognition of health as a multidimensional construct, few studies have examined how physical, psychological, and behavioral health dimensions coalesce and evolve across the transition from young to middle adulthood, especially within the context of life-course adversities. Existing research often focuses on isolated health indicators or overlooks the dynamic, fluid nature of health over time. Additionally, the combined effects of childhood and adulthood adversities on health transitions remain underexplored.

Cyanophages are widely distributed viruses that specifically infect blue-green algae and play a critical role as biological control agents in aquatic ecosystems. Despite their ecological importance, the effects of light on cyanophage-host interactions are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the role of host photosynthesis in different stages of MaMV-DH01 infection, a novel muscle-tailed cyanophage isolated from Donghu Lake that targets Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB524.

Selective therapeutic targeting of cardiomyocytes (CMs) and non-myocytes (NMs) within the heart is an active field of research. The success of those novel therapeutic strategies is linked to the ability to accurately assess uptake and gene delivery efficiencies in clinically relevant animal models. Nevertheless, quantification at the single cell level remains a significant challenge.

Background: Excessive oxidative stress is well known to participate in the pathogenesis of hypertension. A major regulator of oxidative stress is the transcription factor Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). However, the role of Nrf2 in the pathogenesis of hypertension is not completely understood, especially at the endothelial cell level.

Objectives: The usage of cephalosporins (CEFs) and co-existence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) gene bla in the same host may promote the prevalence of colistin (CST) resistance gene mcr-1. This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms how the mcr-1 and bla demonstrate significant co-occurrence in Escherichia coli (E. coli).
