Article Abstract
(Hydrangeaceae), a rare and endangered Tertiary relict shrub endemic to East Asia, holds significant ecological and evolutionary value. However, the mitochondrial (mt) genome remains unexplored, limiting insights into its cytoplasmic evolution and phylogenetic relationships. In this study, a complete mt genome of was sequenced, and we assembled the mt genome into two linear contigs for description, due to the complexity of its chromosome structure. The mt genome encodes 37 protein-coding genes, 27 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes. A total of 687 RNA editing sites were predicted, and the most RNA editing sites were found in the gene. Repeat sequences with different sizes were detected in the mt genome, including 160 simple sequence repeats, 26 tandem repeats, and 320 dispersed repeats. Phylogenetic analysis grouped with (Hydrangeaceae), which is closely related to Eucommiaceae and Ericaceae. This study provides the first assembled and annotated mt genome of , which enhances our understanding of the genome of this relict plant in Hydrangeaceae. Taken together, this study offered foundational data for conservation strategies, molecular breeding, and evolutionary studies of this endangered relict species.

Hibernation is an elaborate response strategy employed by numerous mammals to survive in cold conditions that involves active suppression of metabolism. Despite the role of mitochondria as energy metabolism centers during hibernation, the adaptive and evolutionary mechanisms of mitochondrial genes in hibernating animals, like hedgehogs in eulipotyphlan species, are not yet fully understood. In this study, we sequenced and assembled mitochondrial genomes of the hibernating four-toed hedgehog () and the non-hibernating Asian house shrew ().

Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by systemic inflammation and lymphadenopathy. Two major clinical subtypes, idiopathic plasmacytic lymphadenopathy (iMCD-IPL) and iMCD with thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, renal dysfunction/reticulin fibrosis, and organomegaly (iMCD-TAFRO), exhibit distinct pathophysiologic mechanisms. While interleukin-6 (IL-6) is known to be elevated in iMCD, the differences in IL-6 production sources between subtypes remain unclear.

Crop growth rate is a critical physiological trait for forage and bioenergy crops like sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], influencing overall crop productivity, particularly in photoperiod-sensitive (PS) types. Crop growth rate studies focus on either a physiological approach utilizing a few genotypes to analyze biomass accumulation or a genetic approach characterizing easily scorable proxy traits in larger populations.

Background: Early-onset preeclampsia poses significant risks to maternal and fetal health, necessitating a deeper understanding of its molecular mechanisms and effective therapeutic strategies.
Methods: Utilizing data from genome-wide association study and Mendelian randomization analysis, we investigated the relationship between mitochondrial DNA copy number and preeclampsia. Transcriptome sequencing, in vitro experiments, and animal studies were conducted to explore the roles of SENP3 and SETD7 in preeclampsia pathogenesis.
