Article Abstract

The increasing resistance of agricultural pests to existing acaricides presents a significant challenge to sustainable agriculture. Therefore, this study introduced , a novel isoindolinone-based phenyl trifluoroethyl thioether derivative generated through an innovative design strategy combining bioisosterism and novel cyclization methods. We synthesized several compounds and evaluated their acaricidal efficacy against in greenhouses and in field settings. emerged as a standout candidate, demonstrating a lower median lethal concentration (LC) of 0.722 mg/L compared to the commercial acaricide, cyetpyrafen. Notably, 30 days after application, showed a field control efficacy of 96.4% against , highlighting its potential for broader applications. The results underscore the utility of the isoindolinone scaffold in pesticide development, offering a promising solution to combat pest resistance with implications for enhanced crop protection and agricultural productivity. Future studies should explore the detailed mode of action of and its potential applicability across diverse agricultural settings, further confirming its role as a sustainable solution for pest management.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify numerous disease-linked genetic variants at noncoding genomic loci, yet therapeutic progress is hampered by the challenge of deciphering the regulatory roles of these loci in tissue-specific contexts. Single-cell multimodal assays that simultaneously profile chromatin accessibility and gene expression could predict tissue-specific causal links between noncoding loci and the genes they affect. However, current computational strategies either neglect the causal relationship between chromatin accessibility and transcription or lack variant-level precision, aggregating data across genomic ranges due to data sparsity.

The discovery and subsequent evolution of the Ouabain-Na/K pump endocrine system have profoundly impacted our understanding of cellular physiology and disease mechanisms. Initially identified as a cardiotonic steroid with potent effects on the Na/K ATPase, Ouabain has been implicated in various physiological and pathological processes. The Na/K pump, a crucial component of cellular physiology, maintains electrochemical gradients essential for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and cellular volume regulation.
