Aging is related to the lowered overall functioning and increased risk for various age-related diseases in humans. Sonneradon A (SDA), a new compound first extracted from the edible fruits of mangrove , showed remarkable antiaging activity. However, the role of SDA in antiaging remains unclear. In this article, we studied the function of SDA in antiaging by using the animal model . Results showed that SDA inhibited production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by 53%, and reduced the accumulation of aging markers such as lipids and lipofuscins. Moreover, SDA also enhanced the innate immune response to infection. Genetic analysis of a series of mutants showed that SDA extended the lifespan of the mutants of and . Together, this effect may be related to the enhanced resistance to oxidative stress via mitochondrial and insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 signaling (IIS) pathways. The results of this study provided new evidence for an antiaging effect of SDA in as well as insights into the implication of antiaging activity of SDA in higher organisms.

We evaluated the effectiveness of using blood agar (BA) and Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) together to isolate fungi and Pythium insidiosum for the diagnosis of fungal and Pythium keratitis respectively. The overall recovery rate was higher in SDA than BA (93.75 % vs 88.

Background: Response to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) in sarcomas is overall low and heterogeneous. Understanding determinants of ICI outcomes may improve efficacy and patient selection. Thus, we investigated whether the expression of transposable elements (TEs), which are epigenetically silenced and can stimulate antitumor immunity, influence ICI outcomes and immune infiltrates in common sarcoma subtypes.

Background: Recent financial, environmental, and health crises have underscored the critical-but often overlooked-role of healthcare workers (HCWs) for health system resilience. Given the ongoing physical and psychological demands placed on this workforce, understanding the factors that influence their resilience is essential.
Objective: This scoping review aimed to map and synthesise multidisciplinary evidence on meso-level organisational factors that influence individual resilience among HCWs.

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) play crucial roles in a wide range of biological processes, and studying their association with diseases can enhance our understanding of disease pathogenesis. Nevertheless, current knowledge of these associations is limited traditional biological experiments are both costly and time-consuming. Consequently, developing efficient computational methods is essential for predicting potential snoRNA-disease associations.

MicroRNA-21 (miRNA-21), a critical oncogenic biomarker, poses detection challenges due to low abundance and limitations of conventional methods. Herein, we developed a novel CRISPR-SDA biosensing platform by integrating strand displacement amplification (SDA) with CRISPR-Cas12a, leveraging SDA's efficient isothermal amplification of miRNA-21 and Cas12a's precise target recognition and -cleavage activity for signal amplification. Optimized conditions achieved high sensitivity with a detection limit of 10.
