Background: Oncolytic adenoviruses are among the most widely utilized oncolytic viruses due to their notable anti-tumor and gene expression capabilities, and modification of ADVs to create armed adenoviruses remains a popular research direction. Nonetheless, immune suppression triggered by ADV and targeted enhancements based on this limitation have been relatively unexplored.

Methods: Flow cytometry was employed to assess immune infiltration in the tumor microenvironment following ADV therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • Italian ryegrass in Southwest China was affected by a disease causing black leaf spots, observed in December 2023 with less than 1% incidence in a field in Hongya County.
  • Researchers isolated a fungus from infected plants, cultivating samples on potato dextrose agar which produced cottony, whitish colonies and characteristic conidia.
  • Genetic analysis of two fungal strains (LJH17 and LJH18) confirmed their identity through sequencing of specific gene regions, with sequences submitted to GenBank for further reference.

Article Synopsis
  • Oncolytic adenoviruses are being studied for their ability to kill cancer cells and modulate the immune response, but their potential immunosuppressive effects need further investigation.
  • This study shows that type V adenoviruses can change the behavior of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and increase regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment, which can hinder immune responses against tumors.
  • Thymosin alpha 1 (Tα1) can reprogram these macrophages to support anti-tumor activity and enhance the effectiveness of the adenovirus in fighting cancer, indicating a promising direction for future cancer therapies.

Italian ryegrass is widely cultivated for the production of forage, hay, and silage because of its high nutritional value and good palatability. Leaf spots caused by fungi pose a serious threat to forage crops. In order to expand the knowledge of fungi causing leaf spots in ryegrass () in Sichuan, Yunnan, Chongqing, and Guizhou of southwestern China, a comprehensive survey was undertaken from 2015 to 2022.

Immunotherapy is one of the fastest developing areas in the field of oncology. Many immunological treatment strategies for refractory tumors have been approved and marketed. Nevertheless, much clinical and preclinical experimental evidence has shown that the efficacy of immunotherapy in tumor treatment varies markedly among individuals.

Xihuang Wan (XHW), a purgative and detoxifying agent, is commonly utilized in modern medicine as a treatment and adjuvant therapy for various malignancies, including breast cancer, liver cancer, and lung cancer. A clinical study demonstrated the potential usefulness of the combination of XHW and gemcitabine as a therapy for pancreatic cancer (PC), indicating that XHW's broad-spectrum antitumor herbal combination could be beneficial in the treatment of PC. However, the precise therapeutic efficacy of XHW in treating pancreatic cancer remains uncertain.

Vigor identification in sweet corn seeds is important for seed germination, crop yield, and quality. In this study, hyperspectral image (HSI) technology integrated with germination tests was applied for feature association analysis and germination performance prediction of sweet corn seeds. In this study, 89 sweet corn seeds (73 for training and the other 16 for testing) were studied and hyperspectral imaging at the spectral range of 400-1000 nm was applied as a nondestructive and accurate technique to identify seed vigor.

Drought is one of the most important stress factors limiting the seed industry and crop production. Present study was undertaken to create novel drought-resistant pelleted seeds using the combined materials with superabsorbent polymer, poly(2-acrylamide-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid) (PAMPS) hydrogel, and drought resistance agent, salicylic acid (SA). The optimized PAMPS hydrogel was obtained as the molar ratio of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) to potassium peroxydisulfate (KPS) and N, N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) was 1 : 0.
