Spatial and temporal characterization of the rich fraction of plastid DNA present in the nuclear genome of Moringa oleifera reveals unanticipated complexity in NUPTs´ formation.

Scientists find that small fragments of plastid DNA are still being copied and moved to the nuclear genome, even after DNA transfer. The exact mechanisms are unclear, with limited research on specific species and plastid DNA.

Melissa officinalis extract suppresses endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis in the brain of hypothyroidism-induced rats exposed to γ-radiation.

Melissa officinalis extract (MEE) protected against brain damage in rats with hypothyroidism and/or exposure to radiation by reducing oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress. MEE also prevented the overexpression of genes associated with apoptosis and improved neuronal protection.
