Summary: Through metabolomics analysis, it was found that under cadmium stress, most carbohydrates and amino acids were down-regulated as the cadmium concentration increased in rice grains, except for myoinositol which can prevent cadmium toxicity. D-Mannitol and L-cysteine were up-regulated in low-cadmium-accumulating rice with the increase of cadmium concentration. Organic acids, especially 13-(S)-hydroperoxy-9(Z),11(E),15(Z)-octadecatrienoic acid related to alphalinolenic acid metabolism and jasmonic acid production, were activated.

Summary: Insect metabolites are essential for regulating the physiology, behavior, and adaptations of insects, but the systematic metabolomics within insects remains unclear. This study used HPLC-MS/MS technology to perform a comprehensive metabolomics analysis and constructed an integrated metabolic database of nine insect species with different metamorphosis types. A total of 1442 metabolites were identified, including amino acids, organic acids, fatty acids, glycerophospholipids, nucleotides, and benzene derivatives. The metabolites were enriched in important pathways related to arachidonic acid metabolism, tyrosine metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, and insect hormone biosynthesis. The study revealed a correlation between the evolutionary relationships of species and the types of metabolites present, while the quantities of metabolites varied greatly among species. The metabolome of these representative insects provides a valuable platform for studying insect systemic metabolites and biological events at the metabolic level.

Summary: It has been reported that the activities of NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase decrease in the aging mouse liver, while NMN treatment can increase healthspans. However, the changes in the acetylomic landscape and the effects of NMN treatment on protein acetylation in the aging liver have not been studied. In this study, immunoprecipitation coupled with label-free quantitative LC-MS/MS was used to identify the acetylome and investigate the effects of aging and NMN on liver protein acetylation. The results showed that the acetylation levels of proteins involved in oxidation-reduction and metabolic processes increased in aged livers, while the acetylation levels of proteins involved in transport and translation processes decreased. NMN treatment inhibited the age-related increase in acetylation of proteins regulating fatty acid beta oxidation, the TCA cycle and valine degradation.

Summary: This study proposes the concept of single-atom-kernelled nanoclusters and synthesizes a Pd-based trimetal nanocluster with a single-Ag atom-kernel using an alloying strategy. The nanoclusters with single-silver atom kernels exhibit higher activity and selectivity compared to the bimetal precursor nanoclusters. The single atoms in the kernel have significant influence on catalytic performance by affecting the electronic configuration.

Summary: There are unresolved fundamental issues regarding metal nanoclusters, including the transformation from face-centered cubic (fcc) to hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structures and photoexcitation electron transfer. This study successfully achieved the fcc-to-hcp structure transformation and revealed size and shape-dependent photoexcitation electron transfer for metal nanoclusters. A new thermally induced ligand exchange method was developed to synthesize a rod-shaped hcp Au42(SCH2Ph)32 nanocluster, which exhibited specific absorption and dual emission properties. The findings also suggest a possible structure transformation pathway and predict a novel rod-shaped hcp Au58(SR)40 nanocluster with a larger aspect ratio. Additionally, a kernel-based middle-to-both ends sp <- sp photoexcitation electron transfer mechanism was observed in rod-like gold nanoclusters, indicating the potential for tunable and practical applications.

Summary: Eukaryotic organisms adapt to environmental fluctuations by altering their epigenomic landscapes and transcriptional programs. Histone H2Bs are globally degraded in Caenorhabditis elegans during starvation, and the mechanisms underlying this degradation involve ubiquitin and ubiquitin-related enzymes. The retention of aberrant nucleosomal H2Bs leads to abnormal gene expression and impacts animal viability. Furthermore, the ubiquitin-proteasome system regulates chromosomal histone turnover in human cells.

Summary: This study reveals the mechanism of airborne defense (AD) against aphids and viruses. The volatile compound MeSA is perceived by neighboring plants and converted into salicylic acid, which activates a signaling cascade to induce plant anti-aphid immunity and reduce virus transmission. Aphid-transmitted viruses encode proteins that suppress AD, making plants less repellent to aphids and more suitable for aphid survival, infestation, and viral transmission.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of senile dementia and is characterized by the aggregation of neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques in the brain. The A beta 1-42 peptide is considered the primary cause of neurotoxicity due to its insolubility and subsequent aggregation. A beta 1-42 and A beta 1-40 have been identified as relevant biomarkers for AD diagnosis, and SurfaceAssisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry (SALDI-MS) was used to monitor the A beta 1-42/A beta 1-40 ratio without prior sample treatment.
