The effects of lead (Pb) and pest damage on soil enzyme activities, pakchoi and performance.

Plant-soil interactions have bottom-up and top-down effects within a plant community. Heavy metal pollution can change plant-soil interactions, directly influence bottom-up effects and indirectly affect herbivores within the community. In turn, herbivores can affect plant-soil interactions through top-down effects.

DNMT1 Mediated CAHM Repression Promotes Glioma Invasion via SPAK/JNK Pathway.

Gliomas are the most common and fatal brain tumors worldwide. Abnormal DNA promoter methylation is an important mechanism for gene loss of tumor suppressors. A long non-coding RNA colorectal adenocarcinoma hypermethylated (CAHM) has been reported to be nearly deleted in glioblastomas (GBMs).

Recent patents on amylose-flavor inclusion complex nano particles preparation and their application.

Lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds that are solubilized in the form of nano-sized particles, or "nanoparticles", can be used in pharmacology, in the production of food additives, cosmetics, and agriculture, as well as in pet foods and veterinary products, amongst other uses. This review focuses on nanoparticles and methods for the production of soluble nanoparticles and, in particular, inclusion complexes of water-insoluble lipophilic and water-soluble hydrophilic organic materials, especially flavor compounds. The host molecule is namely V-amylose or modified starch molecule, which could form a cavity to fix or secure guest molecules.
