, an important lactic acid bacterium in the brewing of Chinese (liquor), usually encounters environmental stresses including ethanol and lactic acid, which severely impact cellular growth and metabolism. In this study, a combined physiological and omics analysis was employed to elucidate the response mechanisms of under ethanol and lactic acid stress conditions. The results showed that the biomass of cells decreased by about 40% under single-stress conditions and 70% under co-stress conditions. Analysis of the differentially expressed genes revealed that the cells adjusted various cellular processes to cope with environmental stresses, including modifications in cell wall synthesis, membrane function, and energy production pathways. Meanwhile, the increased expression of genes involved in DNA repair system and protein biosynthesis ensured the normal physiological function of cells. Notably, under ethanol stress, upregulated genes involved in unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, enhancing membrane stability and integrity. Conversely, under lactic acid stress, cells downregulated F-type ATPase, reducing H influx to maintain intracellular pH homeostasis. The metabolomic analysis revealed DNA damage under co-stress conditions and further validated the transcriptomic results. Our findings elucidate the molecular and physiological strategies of under acid and ethanol stress, providing a foundation for optimizing fermentation processes and enhancing microbial resilience in industrial settings.

Background: During intense exercise, anaerobic metabolism predominantly produces energy in the body, resulting in lactic acid (LA) accumulation, which contributes to muscle fatigue and soreness and may also impair neurological and cardiovascular functions. In endurance sports, the lactate threshold (LT) is a key indicator of an athlete's capacity to clear and utilize LA, directly influencing athletic performance and endurance. Therefore, LA detection is crucial for assessing the physical condition of both athletes and the general population, as well as for optimizing training programs.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a prominent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), was addressed through a novel nanotherapeutic approach. This study engineered folic acid-conjugated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (FA-PLGA NPs) for the folate receptor (FR)-targeted delivery of Toll-like receptor 4 small interfering RNA (TLR4 siRNA) to treat diabetic nephropathy (DN). In a streptozotocin-induced DN murine model, administration of FA-PLGA NPs/TLR4 siRNA significantly mitigated renal injury compared to untreated DN controls.

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of lyophilized cell-free supernatant (CFS) obtained from Lacticaseibacillus paracasei B1 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum O24 cultures on the characteristics of cooked pork sausages stored by 21 days at 4 °C. The following parameters were assessed: antioxidant activity (ABTS, Reducing Power, Fe-chelating activity), texture parameters (hardness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness) and color changes (L*,a*,b*), as well as the fatty acid profile and TBARS content as an indicator of lipid oxidation. Microbiological status was also assessed.

Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), as a substrate material, has been widely utilized in the field of biodegradable vascular stents. Prior to implantation, it is particularly crucial for these devices to assess the relationship of the mechanical properties and microstructures during full degradation cycle. Although previous studies have primarily focused on structural parameters such as crystallinity and molecular weight, there are relatively few reports that explore the impact of microstructure on mechanical performance from the perspective of chain configuration during the degradation.

Background: Protein lactylation has been implicated in stress-responsive cellular mechanisms, yet its role in lung transplantation-associated ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains undefined.
Methods: Transcriptomic profiles from GSE145989 were analyzed through differential expression analysis (limma) and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Integrating the identified genes with lactylation-related signatures uncovered key lactylation-related genes (LRGs) as potential targets.
