      The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a key regulator of neural development and plasticity. Longtermchanges in the BDNF pathway are associated with childhood adversity and adult depression symptoms.Initially, stress-induced decreases in the BDNF pathway were found in some studies, but subsequent reportsindicated the relationship between stress and BDNF to be much more complex, and the concept wassignificantly revised. In the present mini-review, we focus on the structure and regulation of the Bbnf geneas well as on the stress–BDNF interactions under early-life adverse conditions.

      Currently, it is generally accepted that the cis-acting effects of noncoding variants on gene expression are a major factor forphenotypic variation in complex traits and disease susceptibility. Meanwhile, the protein products of many target genes forthe identified cis-regulatory variants (rSNPs) are regulatory molecules themselves (transcription factors, effectors, componentsof signal transduction pathways, etc.), which implies dramatic downstream effects of these variations on complexgene networks. Here, we brief the results of recent most comprehensive studies on the role of rSNPs in transcriptionalregulation across the genome.

      Forthcoming Special issue.


    • To trigger further research on plant mitochondria, the Journal of Biosciences is bringing out a special issue titled "Plant Mitochondria: Properties and Interactions with Other Organelles".


      Plant mitochondria are quite distinct and have unique features, such as a cyanide-insensitive alternate pathway. They also interact with chloroplasts to optimize photosynthetic carbon assimilation.


      Submissions are welcome until 30 July 2023. The contributions can be original articles, short communications, reviews, or mini-reviews on any topic related to plant mitochondria.


      Authors can submit their articles online at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jbsc/default2.aspx
