The role of oxidative stress and inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of mastitis in dairy cows by Romana Turk, Matea Koledić, Nino Maćešić, Miroslav Benić, Vesna Dobranić, Dražen Đuričić, Luka Cvetnić, Marko Samardžija

“…In dairy cows, the metabolic challenge that occurred during the transition from dry period to early lactation may additionally increase the release of ROS which may contribute to development of oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Oxidative stress is defined as a shift in the balance from cellular oxidation-reduction reactions towards oxidation, i.e. to the state of excessive release of oxidants when their removal by antioxidants is impaired and even insufficient. …”

Salinity Stress Induces Phase Separation of Plant BARENTSZ to Form Condensates by Peigang Li, Lanfeng Wu, Wenchao He, Shanshan Zhang, Chaoying He

“…OsBTZs may recruit proteins that play roles in the salt tolerance response to form cytoplasmic condensates, which act as stress granules. The predicted prion-like domain (PrLD), that originated ancestrally and is functionally conserved, was demonstrated to be key to the PS of OsBTZs upon NaCl treatment. …”
