Insect pests and phytopathogens significantly impact crop yield and quality. The fall armyworm (FAW) and the phytopathogen cause substantial economic losses in crops like barley and wheat. However, the entomopathogen shows limited efficacy against FAW, and its antiphytopathogenic activities against remain unclear. Here, dual RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes in -infected FAW larvae. We found that the gene was significantly upregulated at 36 and 48 h post-infection. encodes a serine-carboxyl protease and is mainly expressed in blastospores and hyphae. Overexpression of in ARSEF2860 enhanced virulence against and FAW larvae and inhibited growth. The recombinant BbAorsin protein induced apoptosis and necrosis in FAW hemocytes and inhibited spore germination. These findings shed light on transcriptomic mechanisms governing insect-pathogen interactions, which could aid in developing dual-functional entomopathogens and anti-phytopathogens.

Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 1 (TAF1) is a pivotal component of the TFIID complex, critical for RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription initiation. However, the molecular basis by which TAF1 recognizes and associates with chromatin remains incompletely understood. Here, we report that the tandem bromodomain module of TAF1 engages nucleosomal DNA through a distinct positively charged surface patch on the first bromodomain (BD1).

Background: The roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the progression of various human tumors have been extensively studied. However, their specific mechanisms and therapeutic potential in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) remain to be fully elucidated.
Materials And Methods: The qRT-PCR assay was utilized to assess the relative mRNA levels of TFAP2A-AS1, PHGDH, and miR-6892.

Aim: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a global health concern. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed a strategy to eliminate HCV by 2030, Japan faces challenges owing to limited access and insufficient support for high-risk populations. Previously, HCV diagnoses required a two-step process, delaying results and increasing costs.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an RNA virus that induces reproductive disorders in sows and respiratory diseases in growing pigs. Recently, the NADC34-like strain of PRRSV has become more prevalent, with outbreaks occurring across pig farms in China. However, a reliable diagnostic method for the clinical detection of this strain has been absent.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality; however, biomarkers predicting its immunotherapy resistance remain scarce. Vascular cell adhesion molecule ()-, an immune cell adhesion mediator, is implicated in tumor progression; however, its prognostic and immunomodulatory roles in GC remain unclear.
Methods: In this study, we analyzed expression and its clinical relevance in GC using RNA-sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas.
