Systematic analyses of the MIR172 family members of Arabidopsis define their distinct roles in regulation of APETALA2 during floral transition. by Diarmuid S Ó'Maoiléidigh, Annabel D van Driel, Anamika Singh, Qing Sang, Nolwenn Le Bec, Coral Vincent, Enric Bertran Garcia de Olalla, Alice Vayssières, Maida Romera Branchat, Edouard Severing, Rafael Martinez Gallegos, George Coupland

“…Through genome editing and detailed confocal microscopy, we show that the activity of miR172 at the shoot apex is encoded by 3 MIR172 genes, is critical for floral transition of the shoot meristem under noninductive photoperiods, and reduces accumulation of AP2 and TARGET OF EAT2 (TOE2), an AP2-LIKE TF, at the shoot meristem. Utilizing the genetic resources generated here, we show that the promotion of flowering by miR172 is enhanced by the MADS-domain TF FRUITFULL, which may facilitate long-term silencing of AP2-LIKE transcription, and that their activities are partially coordinated by the TF SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING-LIKE PROTEIN 15. …”

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using cocoon extract of Bombyx mori L.: therapeutic potential in antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor applications by Ahmed H. Elsaffany, Ahmed E. M. Abdelaziz, Abdullah A. Zahra, Alsayed E. Mekky

“…In the present study, a new method for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was explored by applying Bombyx mori cocoon extract as a sustainable and eco-friendly biological source. Unlike previous studies that primarily utilized plant or microbial extracts, this approach offers a more efficient alternative due to the unique protein and polyphenol content of silk cocoons, which enhances the stability and biological properties of the biosynthesized nanoparticles. …”

Prevalence and persistence of cost-related medication non-adherence before and during the COVID-19 pandemic among medicare patients at high risk of hospitalization. by James X Zhang, David O Meltzer

“…<h4>Conclusion and relevance</h4>There are coherent evidence of a reversal of CRN rates during the COVID-19 pandemic among this high-need, high-cost resource utilization Medicare population. Patients' CRN behaviors may be responsive to exogenous impacts, and the behaviors changed in the same direction with similar magnitude in terms of prevalence (the extensive margin) and persistence (the intensive margin). …”
