During the cold season in South Korea, NO concentrations are known to significantly increase, often causing PM to exceed air quality standards. This study investigated the formation mechanisms of NO in a suburban area with low anthropogenic emissions. The average PM was 25.3 μg m, with NO identified as the largest contributor. Ammonium-rich conditions prevailed throughout the study period, coupled with low atmospheric temperature facilitating the transfer of gaseous HNO into the particulate phase. This result indicates that the formation of HNO played a crucial role in determining particulate NO concentration. Nocturnal increases in NO were observed alongside increasing ozone (O) and relative humidity (RH), emphasizing the significance of heterogeneous reactions involving NO. NO concentrations at the study site were notably higher than in Seoul, the upwind metropolitan area, during a high concentration episode. This difference could potentially attributed to lower local NO concentrations, which enhanced the reaction between O and NO, to produce NO radicals. High concentrations of Cl and dust were also identified as contributors to the elevated NO concentrations.

Preclinical PET studies offer the opportunity to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying early neurodevelopment with minimal invasiveness. We demonstrated the feasibility of fetal brain PET in four pregnant rats ( = 42 fetuses). [F]FDG uptake in rat fetuses was readily visualized by PET imaging.

Emerging evidence indicates that liquid-liquid phase separation of α-synuclein occurs during the nucleation step of its aggregation, a pivotal step in the onset of Parkinson's disease. Elucidating the molecular determinants governing this process is essential for understanding the pathological mechanisms of diseases and developing therapeutic strategies that target early-stage aggregation. While previous studies have identified residues critical for α-synuclein amyloid formation, the key residues and molecular drivers of its phase separation remain largely unexplored.

Migrasomes are newly discovered, migration-dependent organelles that mediate the release of cellular contents into the extracellular environment through a process known as migracytosis. Since their identification in 2014, growing evidence has highlighted their critical roles in intercellular communication, organ development, mitochondrial quality control, and disease pathogenesis. Migrasome biogenesis is a complex, multi-step process tightly regulated by lipid composition, tetraspanin-enriched microdomains, and molecular pathways involving sphingomyelin synthase 2, Rab35, and integrins.

Background/aims: Ubiquitin D (UBD), a member of the ubiquitin-like modifier (UBL) family, is significantly overexpressed in various cancers and is positively correlated with tumor progression. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of UBD in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of UBD knockdown on the progression of RA.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and underlying mechanism of advanced optimal pulse technology intense pulsed light (AOPT) in low-energy triple-pulse long-width mode (AOPT-LTL) for melasma treatment.
Methods: An in vivo guinea pig model of melasma was established through progesterone injection and ultraviolet B radiation. Three sessions of AOPT-LTL treatment were performed weekly.
