Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements have significantly improved the identification of resistance genes and quantitative trait loci in rice, aiding in the fight against diseases and insect pests.
- The introgression of these resistance genes is currently the most effective and eco-friendly method for developing resistant rice cultivars, though there is a lack of focus on durable, broad-spectrum resistance.
- The review highlights the importance of pyramiding multiple resistance genes and quantitative trait loci to enhance the durability and effectiveness of rice against major threats like fungal blast, bacterial leaf blight, and the brown planthopper.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored the link between dietary protein intake (from various sources) and changes in brain structure over time, focusing on the hippocampus.
- Data from over 2,600 UK Biobank participants was analyzed, using dietary recall questionnaires and brain imaging from two time points, approximately three years apart.
- Results indicated that higher animal protein intake, particularly from seafood, is associated with slower reduction in hippocampal volume, suggesting that diet may affect brain health.
Sunlight is closely intertwined with daily life. It remains unclear whether there are associations between sunlight exposure and brain structural markers. General linear regression analysis was used to compare the differences in brain structural markers among different sunlight exposure time groups.

To investigate the underlying mechanisms of miR-143 regulating proliferation and metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells, we evaluated the levels of miR-143 and formin-like protein 1 (FMNL1) in NPC tissues. The results of qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis showed that the expression of miR-143 was decreased, while FMNL1 was increased in NPC tissues.

Materials And Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR assay was performed to assess the expression of NEAT1 and miR-34a-5p in NPC tissues and cells.
