Functional significance of commonly regulated genes in mechanically and chemically induced retinal ganglion cell death in rat eyes by Masaaki Kageyama, Koji Ohashi, Takashi Ota

“…To identify common cell death-promoting machinery in the mechanically and chemically injured retina, we profiled temporal gene expression patterns and studied their functional roles in the rodent retina. In response to axotomy and intravitreal NMDA injection, 868 genes were commonly differentially expressed compared with those in normal retinas. …”

Exploring microbial soil communities structure, functions and dynamics in a commercial paddy field in Colombian Eastern Llanos by Juan David Saavedra Correa, Sandra Milena González-Sáyer, Laura Katherine Diaz Sepulveda, Johan Steven Alcántara Cortés, Carolina Isabel Cuellar Cuestas, Fabio Ancízar Aristizábal Gutiérrez, Ibonne Aydee García Romero

“…There were differences in microbial diversity between bulk and rhizosphere communities, with the rhizosphere exhibiting greater functional potential enrichment. Additionally, using a co-assembly approach to reconstruct Metagenome Assembled Genomes (MAGs) and its functional annotation, we identified Acidobacteriota, Actinomycetota, Proteobacteria, and Nitrospirota phyla, discovering their contribution in the nitrogen, sulfur, and methane cycles. …”

Side-by-Side Comparison of Culture Media Uncovers Phenotypic and Functional Differences in Primary Mouse Aortic Mural Cells by Iman Ghasemi, Rajinikanth Gogiraju, Sana’a Khraisat, Sven Pagel, Claudine Graf, Moritz Brandt, Thati Madhusudhan, Philip Wenzel, Guillermo Luxán, Philipp Lurz, Magdalena L. Bochenek, Katrin Schäfer

“…Whether and how cultivation conditions affect their phenotype and function is often overlooked. (2) Methods: Here, we systematically studied how the cultivation of primary mural cells isolated from the aorta of adult wild-type mice in either basal medium (DMEM) or special media formulated for the cultivation of fibroblasts or pericytes affects their phenotype and function. (3) Results: Medium composition did not alter cell viability, but the mRNA levels of differentiated smooth muscle cell markers were highest in vascular mural cells expanded in DMEM. …”
