Summary: Lipids are essential for energy storage and membrane composition in plants. They also serve as substrates for the generation of signaling molecules. Despite their importance in stress response, the specific roles of plant lipids in abiotic stress remain largely unknown. This review provides a comprehensive overview of plant lipid metabolism and discusses their involvement in plant responses to abiotic stress, offering crucial background for further research on the interactions between plant lipids and stress.

Summary: In this study, the interaction between HSPB1 and phospholipids was characterized, revealing that HSPB1 associates with membrane-forming lipids and has a strong affinity towards highly fluid membranes. HSPB1 modulates the physical properties of interacting membranes by altering lipid mobility and greatly affects the phase behavior of the plasma membrane under membrane fluidizing stress conditions. These findings suggest a new function for HSPB1 as a membrane chaperone.

Summary: In this study, we used dissipation particle dynamic simulation to investigate the dynamic processes and mechanical properties of lipid nanoparticle mixtures in a melt. We found that the morphology of these composites depends on both the geometric features of the lipid matrix and the concentration of nanoparticles. The dynamic processes were demonstrated by calculating the average radius of gyration, which indicated the isotropic conformation of lipid molecules and the stretching of lipid chains in the presence of nanoparticles. Additionally, we predicted the mechanical properties of lipid-nanoparticle mixtures by analyzing the interfacial tensions, showing a decrease in interfacial tension with increasing nanoparticle concentration.

Summary: As a platform for targeted delivery of imaging and therapeutic agents, nanoparticles have broad applications in cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, the inefficient in vivo delivery of nanoparticles limits their potential for further applications. Upon entering the physiological environment, nanoparticles immediately interact with proteins and form protein corona, which alters their surface properties and affects their transport. This study used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the adsorption mechanism of nanoparticles with different surface modifications and proteins, as well as their interactions with cell membranes. The results reveal that human serum albumin prefers to interact with hydrophobic and positively charged nanoparticles, while complement protein C3b prefers hydrophobic and charged nanoparticles. Pre-adsorption of human serum albumin on the nanoparticle surface noticeably reduces the interaction between the nanoparticle and C3b. Moreover, a high amount of protein pre-adsorption can decrease the probability of nanoparticle-membrane interaction. These findings suggest that appropriate nanoparticle modification with proteins enhances their targeting capability, which can guide nanoparticle design and improve transport efficiency.

Summary: This study presents a novel in silico approach to investigate the impact of wear facet inclination and position on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) stress. Simulation results suggest that an increase in inclination leads to a decrease in TMJ loading, while wear facet position may be more relevant for TMJ loading. The findings provide insights into the effect of tooth morphology on TMJ loading during bruxism.

Summary: RCI2 proteins are small hydrophobic membrane proteins in plants that are dramatically induced by salt, cold, and drought stresses. They regulate membrane potential and enhance abiotic stress tolerance when over-expressed in plants. RCI2s are used as tracers in live cell imaging and play a role in vesicle trafficking, endocytosis, and protein interactions.

Molecular dynamics simulation is used to analyze the stability of the membranes and the behavior of Au-NPs. The results indicate that normal cell membranes are more stable than cancer cell membranes, and Au-NPs form pores in the lipid bilayer region, facilitating the entry of water and ions and enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents in cancer treatment.

Summary: All-atom molecular dynamics simulations were conducted on 10 nm-sized anionic polystyrene (PS) particles complexed with plasma proteins and adsorbed onto lipid bilayers. The simulations revealed that proteins bound more weakly to the zwitterionic leaflet and more strongly to the anionic leaflet due to charge interactions. Additionally, interactions between proteins and the anionic leaflet disrupted protein helical structure and lipid organization, increasing the lateral dynamics of the bilayers.

Summary: PKC zeta and PKC iota/lambda form the atypical protein kinase C subgroup, characterized by their regulation distinct from conventional PKCs. Both PKC zeta and PKC iota interact with phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylserine, while PKC iota uniquely binds to phosphatidylinositol-monophosphates. Additionally, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate specifically activates PKC iota, indicating a specific regulation of PKC iota by certain membrane lipids.

Summary: In this study, the effects of salt stress on photosynthesis and root development activity in melon were evaluated using RNA-seq analysis and physiological parameter evaluation. The results showed that salt stress caused oxidative damage in the membranal system, leading to instability in the photosynthetic membrane. It also slowed down root development and affected the expression of genes related to cell wall biosynthesis and IAA metabolism. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that the PSII reaction centre may be the primary target of salt stress in melon.

Summary: An improved Weibull failure probability model taking into account initial cracks distributed in the cladding has been proposed in this paper. The study focuses on the failure probabilities of multi-layered SiC cladding under different conditions, showing that the cladding is more sensitive to changes in the inner pressure of fuel elements and can be optimized by adjusting the proportion of different layers. The effects of different Weibull parameters of CVD SiC on failure probability are small and negligible in real fuel elements.

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.

Increasing the manganese content leads to a decrease in stability. The behavior of iron and manganese in the oxide shows distinct differences, which can be attributed to the difference in the enthalpy of oxidation reactions. Additionally, the change in the La/Sr ratio affects the concentration of iron and manganese ions.
