BmATAD3A mediates mitochondrial ribosomal protein expression to maintain the mitochondrial energy metabolism of the silkworm, Bombyx mori
BmATAD3A knockout could inhibit the synthesis of mitochondrial ribosomal protein, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction that affects the mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibits the expression levels of oxidative phosphorylation subunit complexes  I (BmND4,BmND5), III (BmCYTB), IV (BmCOX2) and V (BmATP6), and reduces ATPase activity. AbstractATAD3A is a mitochondrial membrane protein belonging to the ATPase family that contains the AAA+ domain. It is widely involved in mitochondrial metabolism, protein transport, cell growth, development and other important life processes. It has previously been reported that the deletio...

Extant interspecific hybridization among trematodes within the < i > Schistosoma haematobium < /i > species complex in Nigeria
by Oluwaremilekun G. Ajakaye, Elisha E. Enabulele, Joshua B. Balogun, Oyetunde T. Oyeyemi, Michael E. Grigg BackgroundNatural interspecific hybridization between the human parasite (Schistosoma haematobium [Sh]) and bovine parasites (Schistosoma bovis [Sb],Schistosoma curassoni [Sc]) is increasingly reported in Africa. We developed a multi-locus PCR DNA-Seq strategy that amplifies two unlinked nuclear (transITS,BF) and two linked organellar genome markers (CO1,ND5) to genotypeS.haematobium eggs collected from infected people in Ile Oluji/Oke Igbo, Ondo State (an agrarian community) and Kachi, Jigawa State (a pastoral commu...

Isobavachin attenuates osteoclastogenesis and periodontitis-induced bone loss by inhibiting cellular iron accumulation and mitochondrial biogenesis
Biochem Pharmacol. 2024 Apr 12:116202. doi: 10.1016/j.bcp.2024.116202. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs bone-resorbing cells rich in mitochondria, osteoclasts require high iron uptake to promote mitochondrial biogenesis and maintain a high-energy metabolic state for active bone resorption. Given that abnormal osteoclast formation and activation leads to imbalanced bone remodeling and osteolytic bone loss, osteoclasts may be crucial targets for treating osteolytic diseases such as periodontitis. Isobavachin (IBA), a natural flavonoid compound, has been confirmed to be an inhibitor of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB...

Mechanistic insights and emerging therapeutic stratagems for Alzheimer's disease
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Apr 12:102309. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102309. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlzheimer's disease (AD), a multi-factorial neurodegenerative disorder has affected over 30 million individuals globally and these numbers are expected to increase in the coming decades. Current therapeutic interventions are largely ineffective as they focus on a single target. Development of an effective drug therapy requires a deep understanding of the various factors influencing the onset and progression of the disease. Aging and genetic factors exert a major influence on the development of AD. Other factors like post-viral...
