Article Abstract

Fibrillins (FBNs) are indispensable for plant growth and development, orchestrating multiple physiological processes. However, the precise functional role of in cotton fiber development remains uncharacterized. This study reports a genome-wide characterization of the gene family in cotton. A total of 28 genes were identified in upland cotton, with systematic analyses of their phylogenetic relationships, protein motifs, gene structures, and hormone-responsive -regulatory elements. Expression profiling of during fiber development revealed stage-specific activity across the developmental continuum. Transcriptomic analyses following hormone treatments demonstrated upregulation of family members, implicating their involvement in hormone-mediated regulatory networks governing fiber cell development. Collectively, this work presents a detailed molecular characterization of cotton s and establishes a theoretical foundation for exploring their potential applications in cotton breeding programs aimed at improving fiber quality.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and dietary intake characteristics in children and adolescents: A cross-sectional study.

Rev Gastroenterol Mex (Engl Ed)

September 2025

Facultad de Nutrición, Universidad Federal de Bahía (UFBA), Salvador, Bahía, Brazil.

Introduction And Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic disease (MASLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in children and adolescents. The development of MASLD is associated with dietary habits, and dietary intake characteristics are a relevant risk factor. The aim of the present study was to analyze dietary intake characteristics in children and adolescents and study how diet varies in subjects with and without MASLD.

This study investigated the effects of fermentable fiber and polyphenol supplementation on mood and cognition following rapid ascent to simulated 4300 m. Healthy adults (n = 13, 21 ± 3 years) participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study consisting of three, 2-week phases separated by ≥1 week. Food products containing the fiber and polyphenol supplement or placebo were consumed during each phase.

The white matter of the spinal cord is essential for sensory and motor signaling, and its proper development is crucial for establishing functional neuronal circuits. However, the mechanisms underlying white matter formation remain incompletely understood. We hypothesized that the extracellular matrix, particularly laminins, plays a key role in this process.

We propose a Biophysically Restrained Analog Integrated Neural Network (BRAINN), an analog electrical network that models the dynamics of brain function. The network interconnects analog electrical circuits that simulate two tightly coupled brain processes: (1) propagation of an action potential, and (2) regional cerebral blood flow in response to the metabolic demands of signal propagation. These two processes are modeled by two branches of an electrical circuit comprising a resistor, a capacitor, and an inductor.

Defective mitochondrial quality control in the ageing of skeletal muscle.

Age-related skeletal muscle decline is a major contributor to frailty, functional impairment, and loss of independence in advanced age. This process is characterized by selective atrophy of type II fibers, impaired excitation-contraction coupling, and reduced regenerative capacity. Emerging evidence implicates mitochondrial dysfunction as a central mechanism in the disruption of muscle homeostasis with age.
