This study investigates the impact of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on volatile oil composition Schizonepeta tenuifolia and elucidates function StTPS45 gene, a key player in terpenoid biosynthesis. The effect different concentrations MeJA (0, 50, 100, 200, 300 μmol/L) growth S. adventitious bud clusters was analyzed over 20 d period. Using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), 17 compounds were identified from tenuifolia. Significant changes levels major monoterpenes, including increased contents (+)-limonene (+)-menthone, observed, particularly at higher MeJA. Analysis transcriptome data three groups treated with 0, μmol/L revealed significant gene expression profiles following treatment. At 100 MeJA, most terpene synthase (TPS) genes overexpressed. Additionally, functional predictions suggested that acts as germacrene D synthase. Therefore, cloned expressed Escherichia coli, enzyme activity assays confirmed its Molecular docking structural prediction further specific interactions farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), aligning role synthesis pathway. These findings provide valuable insights into modulation secondary metabolite pathways by signaling underscore potential genetic engineering approaches to enhance production terpenoids medicinal plants.

A recent study by Hanna and collaborators assessed the presence of COVID-19 mRNA productsin placenta umbilical cord blood following maternal “vaccination” during human pregnancy.Their analysis 2 pregnant women revealed that genetic injections was detected inboth placentas. Spike protein expression confirmed in one them. Furthermore,the engineered mother, wherethose samples were available for analysis. They also found integrity injected varied across samples, but overall, a substantial or even overwhelming majority consisted non-integrous species. The authors provide several theoretical reasons they believe explain their experiential observations. Based on results shifting aim, indicate benefits suggest related gene therapies, particularly mRNA-based treatments, may have great promise as prenatal therapy. This article analyses findings interpretations identifies gaps inconsistencies explanations. It provides short synopsis update known problems with outlines major pitfalls unknowns underlying thepromised intended therapy applications.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have quickly become a potent tool in cancer immunotherapy, with the potential to personalise treatment and get around many of drawbacks conventional therapies. With an emphasis on their processes, technological developments, clinical applications, this study examines scientific breakthroughs difficulties surrounding mRNA vaccines. We begin by investigating ways which work stimulate immune system, encode antigens specific tumours, elicit anti-tumor response. also look at variety are currently being deployed emphasize successes studies, especially when combined checkpoint inhibitors. The effectiveness safety these been significantly increased such as enhancements stability, design, delivery systems (such lipid nanoparticles polyplexes). Emerging technologies like circular self-amplifying present promising opportunities for enduring more But there still limitations vaccines, immunogenicity, degradation, effective vivo delivery. Concerns about possible adverse effects long-term applications covered review. Despite obstacles, novel approaches developed boost antigen expression, optimize systems, improve establishing crucial component tailored immunotherapy. These developments provide foundation upcoming advances vaccine technology represent major breakthrough fight against cancer.
