Antioxidant therapy for infertile couples: a comprehensive review of the current status and consideration of future prospects by Ramadan Saleh, Ramadan Saleh, Hassan Sallam, Hassan Sallam, Mohamad AlaaEldein Elsuity, Mohamad AlaaEldein Elsuity, Sulagna Dutta, Sulagna Dutta, Pallav Sengupta, Ahmed Nasr

“…Oxidative stress (OS) is established as a key factor in the etiology of both male and female infertility, arising from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the endogenous antioxidant (AOX) defenses. In men, OS adversely affects sperm function by inducing DNA damage, reducing motility, significantly impairing sperm vitality through plasma membrane peroxidation and loss of membrane integrity, and ultimately compromising overall sperm quality. …”

Deep R-gene discovery in HLB resistant wild Australian limes uncovers evolutionary features and potentially important loci for hybrid breeding by Jianyang Liu, Khushwant Singh, Matthew Huff, Christopher Gottschalk, Michael Do, Margaret Staton, Manjunath L. Keremane, Robert Krueger, Chandrika Ramadugu, Chris Dardick

“…Several wild Australian limes have been identified to be HLB resistant and their resistance is hypothesized to be conferred by resistance genes (R-genes), which mediate pathogen-specific defense responses. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the genomic features of R-genes in Australian limes, in comparison to susceptible citrus cultivars. …”

Multiorgan proteomic analysis of infected animal models predict potential host factors for chikungunya virus by Dongdong Lin, Cong Tang, Junbin Wang, Yun Yang, Hao Yang, Yanan Zhou, Wenhai Yu, Bai Li, Qing Huang, Haixuan Wang, Ran An, Xiaoming Liang, Yuhuan Yan, Longhai Yuan, Xuena Du, Yuxia Yuan, Yanwen Li, Shuaiyao Lu

“…Our findings reveal significant species‐specific similarities and differences in immune responses and metabolic regulation, with proteins like Interferon‐Stimulated Gene 15 (ISG15) and Retinoic Acid‐Inducible Gene I (RIG‐I) playing crucial roles in the anti‐CHIKV defense. We observed upregulated and downregulated metabolic status in CHIKV‐infected rhesus monkeys and mice, respectively. …”

Transcriptional time-course analysis during ash dieback infection revealed different responses in tolerant and susceptible Fraxinus excelsior genotypes by Víctor Chano, Renata Callegari Ferrari, Tania Domínguez-Flores, Karuna Shrestha, Barbara Fussi, Hannes Seidel, Oliver Gailing, Katharina B. Budde

“…DEGs shared between tolerant genotypes FAR3 and FS36, included genes involved in the production of phytoalexins and other secondary metabolites with roles in plant defense. Moreover, we identified an earlier expression of genes involved in both pattern- and effector-triggered immunity (PTI and ETI) in ADB-tolerant genotypes, while in ADB-susceptible genotypes both responses were delayed (late response). …”
