To acquire matrine derivatives with enhanced anticancer activity, we designed and synthesized twenty-one 15-site matrine based isatohydrazone derivatives were designed and synthesized. The anti-proliferative activity of all the compounds against human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), human colon cancer cells (HCT116), and non-small cell lung cancer cells (A549) was examined by the MTT method. The majority of the compounds exhibited superior anticancer activity compared to matrine.

  • The study identifies 11 members of the phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein (PEBP) family in mango, classifying them into three subfamilies: TFL1-like, MFT-like, and FT-like.
  • It reveals that specific MiFT genes promote early flowering and can enhance stress resistance in plants, especially under varying temperatures and conditions.
  • Interactions between MiFTs and various proteins suggest that these genes play a dual role in regulating flowering and stress responses, with notable differences in their functions.

Highly sensitive detection of nitric dioxide (NO) has recently attracted much attention due to its harmful to the human health even at a low concentration of 0.1 parts per million (ppm). Herein, InO nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared via a facile ionic liquid (IL) assisted solvothermal method with subsequent calcination and then were analyzed through the characterization of X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption techniques.

To explore the feasibility of adjusting the photoperiod to regulate the life parameters and predation ability of Pallas in greenhouses during the winter, life tables were constructed for under the three following photoperiods: 9L:15D (light/dark), 12L:12D, and 16L:8D at 15 °C, an average greenhouse temperature during the winter when aphids severely damage vegetables. The effects of photoperiods on predation by this ladybird were tested in both laboratory and greenhouse settings. The results showed that increased illumination promoted the development and reproduction of ; under medium and long photoperiods, the pre-adult periods were 3.

The role of acoustic cavitation in various surface cleaning disciplines is important. However, the physical mechanisms underlying acoustic cavitation-induced surface cleansing are poorly understood. This is due to the combination of microscopic and ultrashort timescales associated with the dynamics of acoustic cavitation bubbles.

As a safe and effective method for systemic transdermal drug delivery (TDD), sonophoresis has drawn much attention from researchers. Despite numerous studies confirming cavitation as the main reason for sonophoresis, the effect skin has on cavitation bubble dynamics remains elusive due to the difficulty of experimental challenges. For a start, we reveal how single cavitation bubble (SCB) dynamics are affected by skin properties, including elasticity, hydrophilicity and texture.

Article Synopsis
  • Comprehensive research on ecosystem service value (ESV) in the Dongjiang River Basin reveals its significance for balancing environmental and economic development.
  • The study, conducted from 2010 to 2020, found that while forest ecosystems dominated, land use changes led to a decrease in ESV for agricultural, forest, and construction lands, with water ESV fluctuating significantly.
  • Key findings indicate a notable spatial imbalance in ESV distribution, with upstream areas showing hot spots and downstream areas experiencing greater ecological stress, driven mainly by land utilization changes.

In the realm of genetically transformed crops, the process of plant regeneration holds utmost significance. However, the low regeneration efficiency of several wheat varieties currently restricts the use of genetic transformation for gene functional analysis and improved crop production. This research explores overexpression of TaLAX PANICLE1 (TaLAX1), which markedly enhances regeneration efficiency, thereby boosting genetic transformation and genome editing in wheat.

Acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) is a noncontact technique for micro-liquid handling (usually nanoliters or picoliters) that is not restricted by nozzles and enables high-throughput liquid dispensing without sacrificing precision. It is widely regarded as the most advanced solution for liquid handling in large-scale drug screening. Stable coalescence of the acoustically excited droplets on the target substrate is a fundamental requirement during the application of the ADE system.
