Summary: This study investigated the effects of green light on locomotion, growth, and reproduction in the rice pest Nilaparvata lugens (BPH). It was found that green light treatment disrupted the daily locomotion patterns of BPH and affected their growth and reproductive capacity. Transcriptome analysis revealed the altered expression of genes involved in cuticular development, supporting the observed abnormal cuticular development under green light treatment.

Summary: Circadian rhythms are essential for survival, allowing organisms to predict environmental changes and time behavior. The circadian clock is a self-sustaining molecular oscillator that needs to be continually adjusted to stay in alignment with the external world. Light is the primary time cue in mammals and plays a complex role in entraining the circadian clock in the SCN.

Summary: Circadian clocks are suppressed during early embryonic stages and pluripotent stem cells in mammals, but gradually emerge during ontogenesis. The expression of CLOCK/BMAL1 affects the oscillation of the segmentation clock, which controls somitogenesis in the early developmental stage.

Summary: Through artificial laboratory selection, our study shows that early chronotypes of Drosophila have evolved positive masking, which significantly affects the entrained phases of their behavior. This evolution of masking serves as a complement to clock control in determining the timing of entrained behavior.

Summary: The circadian clock plays a crucial role in regulating bone metabolism, including bone loss. Clock-related genes control signaling pathways and transcription factors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, while also regulating osteocytes and endothelial cells. Furthermore, the regulation of circadian clock genes by novel modulators presents a potential strategy for preventing and treating bone diseases.

Summary: The circadian clock system adapts physiology and behavior to daily recurring changes in the environment. Recent findings suggest that the embryo/fetal molecular clock machinery is present and functional in several tissues early during gestation, entrained by maternal rhythmic signals. This highlights the complex interaction and coordination between maternal, placental, and embryo/fetal clocks in regulating the circadian system's development and response to external perturbations during critical times.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the expression differences of circadian clock genes within and among the bovine stress axis tissues. The results showed significant differences in the expression of circadian clock genes within each tissue and among different tissues. These findings are of great importance for improving livestock husbandry and welfare by understanding the interactions between the environment, stress responsiveness, and peripheral circadian rhythms.

Summary: The circadian system in the human body responds to environmental changes, influences physiological processes, and optimizes behavior. The skeletal muscle circadian clock plays a critical role in lipid and glucose metabolism. Disturbance of the circadian rhythm can affect the musculoskeletal system, and nutritional strategies can help maintain its homeostasis. Active collaborations between nutritionists and physiologists in the field of chronobiology and chrononutrition are essential, as interventions based on these interactions can reduce morbidity and mortality.

Summary: This article reviews the relationship between circadian rhythm disturbance and kidney stone disease (KSD), summarizing the risk factors and treatment methods. The results indicate that KSD is associated with systemic disorders such as metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and microbiome dysbiosis, and some chronotherapies have been proven effective.

Summary: In organisms with circadian clocks, the post-translational modifications of clock proteins, particularly phosphorylation, play a crucial role in controlling circadian rhythms. Protein phosphatase 4 (PPP4) and its regulatory subunit PPP4R2 have been identified as critical components in mammals and Drosophila, affecting the circadian system by regulating phosphorylation and transactivation activity of CLOCK/BMAL1.

Summary: China has become the world's largest energy producer and consumer, with its carbon emissions accounting for 80% of its total emissions, and more than 50% of these emissions come from the power industry. To achieve the carbon-peak and carbon-neutral targets by 2030 and 2060 respectively, it is crucial to carry out low-carbon energy transformation in the power industry. This paper compares and analyzes the technical level of six high-energy-consuming industries in terms of low carbon, and concludes that the structural adjustment of China's high-energy-consuming industries has reached its limit, making low-carbon transformation in the power industry inevitable. The study also provides insights into the carbon emissions of China's regional power grids and proposes a low-carbon emission path for power energy.
