Light quality regulates growth and flavonoid content in a widespread forest understorey medicinal species Georgi.

Introduction: Introduction: Light is not only essential for plant photosynthesis and growth, but also acts as a signal to regulate its secondary metabolism. Despite the influence of light quality on the yield and flavonoid compounds in commercial crops is well-documented, its role in regulating wild understorey species, particularly medicine plants whose flavonoid biosynthesis driven by multiple spectral regions of canopy sunlight, is less understood.

Methods: To address it, we conducted a light-quality manipulation experiment on Georgi, a widespread understorey medicinal species, with light-emitting diodes (LED).

Sarcopenic obesity is significantly associated with poorer overall survival after liver transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Sarcopenia has been shown to worsen survival after liver transplantation. However, it remains unclear whether coexisting sarcopenia and obesity, so-called sarcopenic obesity (SO), may also synergistically increase their adverse effects. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether pre-transplant SO independently predicts survival in this population.

Effectiveness, pharmacokinetics, and safety of triptorelin acetate microspheres in patients with locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer.

Background: A newly generic microspheres, sustained-release formulation of triptorelin acetate 3.75 mg has been developed.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of triptorelin 1-month formulation in Chinese patients with prostate cancer.

Molecular insights into vasicine and butyrylcholinesterase interactions: A complimentary biophysical, multi-spectroscopic, and computational study.

Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) plays a pivotal role in regulating acetylcholine (ACh) levels during the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), so emerged as an attractive target in AD treatment. Vasicine, a naturally occurring pyrroloquinazoline alkaloid, was identified as a natural BChE inhibitor (IC = 1.47 ± 0.

Functional microorganisms in hydrogen production: Mechanisms and applications.

The rapid growth of global energy demand accelerates the development of sustainable, clean, and renewable energy sources. Biohydrogen production, driven by functional microorganisms, offers a promising solution. Multiple species of bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and archaea were able to produce hydrogen.
