Cellular Senescence in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate amongst all malignancies worldwide, and is the second-highest incidence of cancer in women. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is responsible for approximately 80% of lung cancer cases. Recent studies indicate that cellular senescence may be a promising cancer biomarker.

Research progress on the relationship between the TOR signaling pathway regulator, epigenetics, and tumor development.

Almost all cellular activities depend on protein folding, signaling complex assembly/disassembly, and epigenetic regulation. One of the most important regulatory mechanisms responsible for controlling these cellular processes is dynamic protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. Alterations in phosphorylation networks have major consequences in the form of disorders, including cancer.

Effects of exogenous sucrose and selenium on plant growth, quality, and sugar metabolism of pea sprouts.

Background: Pea sprouts are considered a healthy food. Sucrose is a key nutritional factor affecting taste and flavor. Meanwhile, selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient that plays multiple roles in wide variety of physiological processes and improves crop quality and nutritional value.
