, a prominent pathogen responsible for pomegranate pulp rot disease, inflicts significant damage on L. Besides its pathogenicity, this fungus possesses the potential to produce substantial amounts of red pigments, making it promising for industrial applications. This study presents the genome annotation of field strain Tp-2, isolated from pomegranates.

Green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) are useful and essential biomolecules that have revolutionized biosensor research. Researchers have extensively utilized GFPs for designing fluorescence biosensors due to their intrinsic fluorescence, high stability, and ability to undergo permutation or mutation. This review provides a concise summary of recent advancements in developing GFP-based biosensors.

Euonymus japonicas is widely planted as an important landscape species throughout China. In June 2021, a serious gray blight disease was detected on E. japonicas in Henan Province (32°30'58" N, 112°19'44" E), causing severe defoliation of infected trees with a foliar disease incidence of 52 to 70% (n = 100).

Article Synopsis
  • Symptoms began as yellow or brown specks on leaf tips, progressing to large irregular lesions and potential branch necrosis.
  • Researchers collected and sterilized symptomatic samples for analysis, isolating three fast-growing fungal strains (HY12, HY16, and HY17), which were identified using molecular techniques and submitted to GenBank for further study.

Purpose: Gemcitabine is the first line and the gold standard drug for pancreatic cancer. However, the anticancer efficacy is severely limited by its instability and poor cellular uptake. To enhance the clinical efficacy of gemcitabine, we constructed a novel nanodrug delivery system based on amphiphilic dendrimers and aliphatic gemcitabine prodrug.

Background: The COVID-19 Pandemic resulted in high levels of fear, anxiety, and stress. People with pre-existing physical and mental health conditions may have been more affected by the sudden changes in daily habits during the initial months of global quarantine imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: We designed the Quarantine, Anxiety, and Diet (QUAD) Survey to investigate the effect of pre-existing health conditions on the relationship of COVID-19 stress and food behavior.

Chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in pancreatic acinar cells has emerged as a major contributor to the recovery of acute pancreatitis (AP). However, the molecular mechanisms linking AP and ER stress remain not fully understood. In this study, we employed caerulein to induce AP-like inflammation in the AR42J rat pancreatic acinar cells to mimic the AP-like acinar cell injury.
