Patternable, high-precision, controllable wettability copper layers for 3D resin-based weather-resistant electronics and 3D liquid manipulation.

The realization of 3D patterned metal layers with manipulable surface wettability has significant potential, especially in integrating microelectronics with weather resistance and multifunctional liquid manipulation. However, developing a facile and efficient method to bring it to fruition remains a great challenge. In this work, we proposed a novel 3D selective metallization strategy that combines stereolithography 3D printing with laser-induced selective metallization (LISM).

A QTL GN1.1, encoding FT-L1, regulates grain number and yield by modulating polar auxin transport in rice.

Rice grain number is a crucial agronomic trait impacting yield. In this study, we characterized a quantitative trait locus (QTL), GRAIN NUMBER 1.1 (GN1.

Dysfunction of duplicated pair rice histone acetyltransferases causes segregation distortion and an interspecific reproductive barrier.

Postzygotic reproductive isolation, which results in the irreversible divergence of species, is commonly accompanied by hybrid sterility, necrosis/weakness, or lethality in the F or other offspring generations. Here we show that the loss of function of HWS1 and HWS2, a couple of duplicated paralogs, together confer complete interspecific incompatibility between Asian and African rice. Both of these non-Mendelian determinants encode the putative Esa1-associated factor 6 (EAF6) protein, which functions as a characteristic subunit of the histone H4 acetyltransferase complex regulating transcriptional activation via genome-wide histone modification.

A genetic module at one locus in rice protects chloroplasts to enhance thermotolerance.

How the plasma membrane senses external heat-stress signals to communicate with chloroplasts to orchestrate thermotolerance remains elusive. We identified a quantitative trait locus, (), consisting of two genes, and , that interact together to enhance rice thermotolerance and reduce grain-yield losses caused by heat stress. Upon heat stress, plasma membrane-localized E3 ligase TT3.

The Relationship between Phase Angle, Nutrition Status, and Complications in Patients with Pancreatic Head Cancer.

Phase angle (PhA), a bioimpedance parameter, is used to assess the nutrition status and body composition of patients. Patients with pancreatic head cancer often present with body composition changes that relate to adverse outcomes. PhA may be useful to evaluate prognosis in these patients, but data are deficient.

A rice QTL GS3.1 regulates grain size through metabolic-flux distribution between flavonoid and lignin metabolons without affecting stress tolerance.

Grain size is a key component trait of grain weight and yield. Numbers of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been identified in various bioprocesses, but there is still little known about how metabolism-related QTLs influence grain size and yield. The current study report GS3.

The Prognostic Impact of Pathology on Patients With Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Undergoing Debulking Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Retrospective Studies.

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical condition with fatal outcomes, which is characterized by the progressive accumulation of mucinous ascites and peritoneal implants. Some studies have reported the effect of PMP biology on patient outcome. The objective of this study was to analyze published articles focusing on the impact of pathology on the prognosis of PMP patients undergoing debulking.

UDP-glucosyltransferase regulates grain size and abiotic stress tolerance associated with metabolic flux redirection in rice.

Grain size is an important component trait of grain yield, which is frequently threatened by abiotic stress. However, little is known about how grain yield and abiotic stress tolerance are regulated. Here, we characterize GSA1, a quantitative trait locus (QTL) regulating grain size and abiotic stress tolerance associated with metabolic flux redirection.
