Metabolic switch in the aging astrocyte supported via integrative approach comprising network and transcriptome analyses
Aging (Albany NY). 2023 Apr 18;15. doi: 10.18632/aging.204663. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDysregulated central-energy metabolism is a hallmark of brain aging. Supplying enough energy for neurotransmission relies on the neuron-astrocyte metabolic network. To identify genes contributing to age-associated brain functional decline, we formulated an approach to analyze the metabolic network by integrating flux, network structure and transcriptomic databases of neurotransmission and aging. Our findings support that during brain aging: (1) The astrocyte undergoes a metabolic switch from aerobic glycolysis to oxidative phosphor...

Non-amplification on-spot identifying the sex of dioecious kiwi plants by a portable Raman device
Talanta. 2023 Mar 11;258:124447. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124447. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe kiwi plant is dioecious, and its sex is generally identified from flower morphology at blossoming, which takes several years. It is quite necessary but challenging to on-spot identify the plant sex in juvenile stage. Here the target DNA was obtained by screening the Friendly boy (FrBy) gene which is sex-related for different kiwi plant species. Its complementary sequence was divided into two parts as primer DNA and further attached to different gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The connection between target DNA and primer DNA wi...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 2442: Design, Synthesis and Bioactivity Evaluation of Novel 2-(pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles Containing an Imidazole Fragment as Antibacterial Agents
iang Zhou Song Yang Imidazole alkaloids, a common class of five-membered aromatic heterocyclic compounds, exist widely in plants, animals and marine organisms. Because of imidazole’s extensive and excellent biological and pharmacological activities, it has always been a topic of major interest for researchers and has been widely used as an active moiety in search of bioactive molecules. To find more efficient antibacterial compounds, a series of novel imidazole-fragment-decorated 2-(pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were designed and synthesized based on our previous works via the active substructure spli...

Molecular characterisation and additional morphological descriptions of Eimeria spp. (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli Bartlett)
Syst Parasitol. 2023 Feb 24. doi: 10.1007/s11230-023-10086-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBrown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli Bartlett), a ratite endemic to New Zealand, is currently listed as "Vulnerable" under the IUCN classification system due to predation by introduced mammals. Operation Nest Egg (ONE) raises chicks and juveniles in predator-proof enclosures until they are large enough to defend themselves. These facilities experience an environmental accumulation of coccidial oocysts, which leads to severe morbidity and mortality of these kiwi. Four species of coccidia have been morphologically described from sporulated oo...
