In yeast and mammals, the EXO70 subunit of the exocyst complex plays a key role in mediating the tethering of exocytic vesicles to the plasma membrane (PM). In plants, however, the role of EXO70 in regulating vesicle tethering during exocytosis remains unclear. In land plants, EXO70 has undergone significant evolutionary expansion, resulting in multiple EXO70 paralogues that may allow the exocyst to form various isoforms with specific functions.

Recent years have witnessed great success of deep convolutional networks in sensor-based human activity recognition (HAR), yet their practical deployment remains a challenge due to the varying computational budgets required to obtain a reliable prediction. This article focuses on adaptive inference from a novel perspective of signal frequency, which is motivated by an intuition that low-frequency features are enough for recognizing "easy" activity samples, while only "hard" activity samples need temporally detailed information. We propose an adaptive resolution network by combining a simple subsampling strategy with conditional early-exit.

Federated Learning (FL) has recently attracted great interest in sensor-based human activity recognition (HAR) tasks. However, in real-world environment, sensor data on devices is non-independently and identically distributed (Non-IID), e.g.

Background: Paeoniflorin, a monoterpene glycoside, exerts protective vascular effects, showing good antioxidant properties. However, whether Paeoniflorin has protective effect against the oxidative damage induced by advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) in Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) is unknown, as is the underlying mechanism.

Purpose: The present study was designed to investigate the effect of Paeoniflorin on oxidative damage of HUVECs and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a high prevalence and low cure rate and represents a significant health issue. Oxidative stress is common in CKD due to metabolic disorders, inflammation, and impaired renal function changing normal proteins into advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs). Huang Gan formula (HGF) is a new type of traditional Chinese herbal medicine.

Huang Gan formula (HGF) is a new traditional Chinese herbal medicine created according to the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of HGF on chronic kidney disease and determine the mechanisms of action. The extract of HGF was prepared, and qualitative and quantitative determination of phytochemical was performed with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer and high-performance liquid chromatography.
