Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, ) is a devastating pest affecting soybean production worldwide. Host resistance is one of the primary practices used to manage SCN. The locus contributes to the strong and effective SCN resistance, with resistance levels predominantly governed by copy number variations (CNVs) and, to lesser extent, sequence variations.

SICM significantly increases mortality rates in sepsis. Despite its clinical relevance, SICM lacks a unified definition and standardized diagnostic criteria, complicating early identification and treatment.

As such, NFI family members engage in a large number of interactions with other proteins and chromatin. However, despite their well-established significance, the NFIs' interactomes, their dynamics, and their functions have not been comprehensively examined.

Hb is used as a carrier protein to encapsulate hydrophobic drugs PTX and MYN and has applications in cancer treatment. PTX and MYN encapsulated Hb NPs are synthesized by the acid denature method and are characterized by spectroscopic and electron microscopic techniques. The binding constant calculated for Hb and PTX is 3.
