With the rapidly growing importance of biological research, non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) attract more attention in biology and bioinformatics. They play vital roles in biological processes such as transcription and translation. Classification of ncRNAs is essential to our understanding of disease mechanisms and treatment design. Many approaches to ncRNA classification have been developed, several of which use machine learning and deep learning. In this paper, we construct a novel deep learning-based architecture, ncRDense, to effectively classify and distinguish ncRNA families. In a comparative study, our model produces comparable results with existing state-of-the-art methods. Finally, we built a freely accessible web server for the ncRDense tool, which is available at http//nsclbio.jbnu.ac.kr/tools/ncRDense/.This study was conducted to investigate the potential toxicity of repeated oral dose of SUNACTIVE Zn-P240, a new type of zinc supplement, in Sprague-Dawley rats. SUNACTIVE Zn-P240 was administered once daily by gavage at doses of 0, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg/day for each group over a 28-day period. At 2000 mg/kg/day, there were increases in serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alanine aminotransferase, liver weight, histopathological changes in stomach, liver, and pancreas and decreases in body weight, food consumption, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, total protein (TP), and albumin. At 1000 mg/kg/day, there was an increase in the serum ALP level and there were decreases in the MCV, MCH, and TP. There were no treatment-related adverse effects in the 500 mg/kg/day group. Under the present experimental conditions, the target organs in rats were determined to be the stomach, pancreas, liver, and erythrocyte and the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) in rats was considered to be 500 mg/kg/day.Tea tree oil (TTO) is a popular topical use to treat skin infections. However, its poor aqueous solubility and stability have substantially limited its widespread application, including oral administration that might be therapeutic for enteric infections. In this study, mechanical ultrasonic methods were used to prepare TTO nanoemulsion (nanoTTO) with a mean droplet diameter of 161.80 nm ± 3.97, polydispersity index of 0.21 ± 0.01, and zeta potential of -12.33 ± 0.72 mV. The potential toxicity of nanoTTO was assessed by studying the oral median lethal dose (LD50) and repeated 28-day oral toxicity to provide a reference for in vivo application. Results showed that nanoTTO had no phase separation under a centrifugation test and displayed good stability during storage at -20, 4 and 25 °C over 60 days. Repeated-dose 28-day oral toxicity evaluation revealed no significant effects on growth and behavior. Assessments of hematology, clinical biochemistry, and histopathology indicated no obvious adverse effects in mice at 50, 100 and 200 mg/mL. These data suggest that nanoTTO can be considered a potential antimicrobial agent by oral administration due to its inhibitory effect on bacteria and relatively lower toxicity.
Human preclinical models are crucial for advancing biomedical research. In particular consistent and robust protocols for astrocyte differentiation in the human system are rare.

We performed a transcriptional characterization of human gliogenesis using embryonic H9- derived hNSCs. Based on these findings we established a fast and highly efficient protocol for the differentiation of mature human astrocytes. We could reproduce these results in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived NSCs.

We identified an increasing propensity of NSCs to give rise to astrocytes with repeated cell passaging. The gliogenic phenotype of NSCs was marked by a down-regulation of stem cell factors (e.g. Vorinostat SOX1, SOX2, EGFR) and an increase of glia-associated factors (e.g. NFIX, SOX9, PDGFRa). Using late passage NSCs, rapid and robust astrocyte differentiation can be achieved within 28 days.

In published protocols it usually takes around three months to yield in mature astrocytes. The difficulty, expense and time associated with generating astrocytes in vitro represents a major roadblock for glial cell research. We show that rapid and robust astrocyte differentiation can be achieved within 28 days. We describe here by an extensive sequential transcriptome analysis of hNSCs the characterization of the signature of a novel gliogenic stem cell population. The transcriptomic signature might serve to identify the proper divisional maturity.

This work sheds light on the factors associated with rapid NSC differentiation into glial cells. These findings contribute to understand human gliogenesis and to develop novel preclinical models that will help to study CNS disease such as Multiple Sclerosis.

Electrical probes have been widely used for recording single-unit spike activity and local field potentials (LFPs) in brain regions. However, setting up an easily-assembled large-scale recording in multiple brain regions for long-term and stable neural activity monitoring is still a hard task.

We established a novel 3D-printed multi-drive system with high-density (up to 256 channels) tetrodes/grid electrodes that enables us to record cortical and subcortical brain regions in freely behaving animals.

In this paper, we described the design and fabrication of this system in detail. By using this system, we obtained successful recording on both spikes and LFPs from seven distinct brain regions that are related to memory function.

The low cost, large-scale electrodes with small size and flexible 3D-printed design of the system allow us to implant assembled tetrodes or grid electrodes into multiple target brain areas.

The 3D-printed large-scale multi-drive platform we described here may serve as a powerful new tool for future studies of brain circuitry functions.
