This study aimed to identify miRNAs dysregulated in muscle biopsies from PAD cohorts.

Low illumination limits photosynthesis and growth. However, also high light intensities are a threat to plants as the photosynthetic machinery gets damaged when the incoming energy surpasses the capacity of photochemistry. One limitation of photochemistry is the constant resupply of stromal electron (e<sup>-</sup>) acceptors, mainly NADP. NADP is reduced at the acceptor-side of photosystem I. The resulting NADPH is utilized by the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle (CBBC) and the malate valve to ensure sufficient oxidized NADP ready to accept e<sup>-</sup> from PSI. Lately, additional pathways, which function as stromal e<sup>-</sup> sinks under abiotic stress conditions, were discovered. One such reaction in Arabidopsis thaliana is catalyzed by PHOSPHOGLYCERATE DEHYDROGENASE 3 (PGDH3), which diverts e<sup>-</sup> from the CBBC into NADH. pgdh3 loss-of-function mutants exhibit elevated non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and fluctuating light susceptibility. To optimize plant photosynthesis in challenging environments knowledge on PGDH3's metabolic integration is needed. We used the source of high NPQ in pgdh3 as a starting point. Our study reveals that increased NPQ originates from high cyclic electron flow (CEF). Interestingly, PGDH3 function seems very important when the CEF-generator PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION5 (PGR5) is lost.

Using RNAseq of worms prior to zooid formation and with two zooids, we search for genes that are differentially expressed and may be related to the control of this process in the flatworm Stenostomum leucops. Several signaling pathways showed differential expression, including MAPK/ERK, PI3K-Akt, Wnt, TGFb, mTOR, FoxO and others. Forty-five genes were found to be particularly significant because they are differentially expressed and play an important role in the development of other flatworms. These include ERK, MKP, JNK, PI3K, PTEN, β -catenin, FoxO, Sufu, GH and others. The results suggest some similarities in gene regulation between paratomy and regeneration observed in other flatworms after fission or amputation. In worms without zooids, pathways required for cell proliferation, differentiation of cells into multiple cell lineages and determination of the body axis are activated. In worms with 2 zooids, genes involved in cell growth and apoptosis are activated.

Consequently, this study utilizes Sentinel-1 A data and employs the SBAS-InSAR technique to extract and analyze the deformation characteristics of 184 hazard areas along the Duku Highway over nearly three years.
