Transcriptome profiling of two rice varieties reveals their molecular responses under high night-time temperature. by Wardah K Mustahsan, Yuya Liang, Abdul R Mohammed, Charles D Johnson, Endang M Septiningsih, Lee Tarpley, Michael J Thomson

“…Leaf tissues were collected from the plants grown in the ANT and HNT conditions after the heat stress and 1-MCP treatments. Based on agronomic performance, Colorado was less negatively affected than Antonio under HNT, showing a slight reduction in spikelet fertility and leaf photosynthetic rate but no significant reduction in yield. …”

A Discrete‐Element‐Based Pore‐Scale Hydromechanical Approach to Investigate the Hysteresis Effect on the Unsaturated At‐Rest Earth Pressure Coefficient by Hossein Ansari, Ghassem Habibagahi, Ehsan Nikooee

“…The results indicate that the earth pressure coefficient is highly dependent on the hydraulic path as well as the drying–wetting cycles, where a considerable reduction in the degree of hysteresis in K0 was observed during the second cycle of drying–wetting and this reduction is more prominent in the samples of lower density.…”

CD4+ cells mitochondrial membrane potential in mild and moderate asthma by Elena V. Kondratyeva, Tatyana I. Vitkina

“…The pathogenetic mechanisms of bronchial asthma (BA) are based on the processes of changes in the cellular energy status and lipid metabolism, the development of hypoxemia, oxidative stress, and systemic inflammation. A reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) is manifested even at the early stages of chronic lung diseases development and can be a key pathological sign of their clinical course aggravation. …”

Benchmarking residue-resolution protein coarse-grained models for simulations of biomolecular condensates. by Alejandro Feito, Ignacio Sanchez-Burgos, Ignacio Tejero, Eduardo Sanz, Antonio Rey, Rosana Collepardo-Guevara, Andrés R Tejedor, Jorge R Espinosa

“…In this study, we systematically compare six state-of-the-art sequence-dependent residue-resolution models to evaluate their performance in reproducing the phase behaviour and material properties of condensates formed by seven variants of the low-complexity domain (LCD) of the hnRNPA1 protein (A1-LCD)-a protein implicated in the pathological liquid-to-solid transition of stress granules. Specifically, we assess the HPS, HPS-cation-π, HPS-Urry, CALVADOS2, Mpipi, and Mpipi-Recharged models in their predictions of the condensate saturation concentration, critical solution temperature, and condensate viscosity of the A1-LCD variants. …”
