Early cancer detection plays a vital role in improving the survival rate of cancer patients, underscoring the importance of developing cancer detection methods. However, it is a great challenge to achieve simple, rapid, and accurate methods for simultaneously discerning various cancers. Herein we developed a 5-element porphyrin-embedded dendrimer-based sensor array, targeting the parallel discrimination of multiple cancers.

  • Pampus argenteus fish prefer Rhopilema esculentum as prey, and a study examined how adding this medusa to their diet affects fish health and microbiota.
  • Over 15 days, juvenile fish fed supplemental medusa showed increased fatness, higher intestinal amylase activity, and better-organized microvilli compared to those given only commercial food.
  • Advanced analyses identified beneficial changes in gut microbiota and metabolism, including enhanced processes like amino acid absorption and a reduction in harmful metabolites linked to cardiovascular issues, suggesting that medusa supplementation may improve fish immunity.

Members of the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) family function pivotally as transcriptional activators integral to the modulation of inflammatory responses. The aquaculture of silver pomfret is frequently compromised by the imposition of exogenous stressors, which include thermal fluctuations, notably low-temperatures, diminished oxygen levels, and the onslaught of bacterial pathogens. Notwithstanding the critical impact of these stressors, the scientific literature presents a notable gap in our understanding of the STAT pathway's role in the silver pomfret's adaptive response mechanisms.

Compensatory growth (CG) in fish is heavily influenced by nutrient metabolism. However, there are limited studies examining how nutrient metabolism is regulated during this process. For silver pomfret, an important commercial marine fish, it's crucial to establish effective starvation and re-feeding strategies to ensure good water quality and fast growth.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are vital pattern recognition receptors that play a critical role in the innate immune response against pathogenic attack. Among the bacteria commonly found in the culture process of silver pomfret, Photobacterium damselae subsp. Damselae (PDD, gram-negative) and Nocardia seriolae (NS, gram-positive), can cause large-scale mortality in this fish species.

We cultured silver pomfret for 20 days, decreasing water temperature from 18 to 8 ℃, and sampled muscle every 5 days. Muscle fiber degeneration and apoptosis began to increase at 13 ℃ detected by HE and TUNEL staining. Further analysis of transcriptome revealed that several apoptosis-related pathways were highly enriched by differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Preparing ash-less coal and further converting it into chemicals is an efficient and promising means for lignite utilization. This work performed depolymerization of lignite to prepare ash-less coal (SDP) and separated it into the hexane-soluble fraction (HS), toluene-soluble fraction (TS), and tetrahydrofuran-soluble fraction (THFS). The structure of SDP and those of subfractions were characterized by elemental analysis, gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy.

The Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene family is responsible for regulating the degradation of Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) proteins, which are important for physiological processes such as wound healing, tissue remodeling, and stress response. Although MMPs have been studied in many species, their role in immune response in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is still not fully understood. This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of MMPs in flounder, including gene structures, evolutionary relationships, conserved domains, molecular evolution, and expression patterns.

  • Insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1) is crucial for ovarian maturation and has been found to significantly influence gonadal energy metabolism, particularly in silver pomfret.
  • During the development of gonads, Igf1 is upregulated during important reproductive phases like vitellogenesis and sperm meiosis, primarily expressed in the somatic cells.
  • The study shows that E2 and Igf1 together enhance the expression of genes related to energy production and reproduction, indicating their combined role in promoting successful gonadal development and reproductive outcomes in fish.

Photoperiod has a great influence on the growth and ovarian development and maturation of fishes. To analyse the effects of photoperiod on growth and ovarian development of an important marine economic fish, silver pomfret Pampus argenteus, short photoperiod group (L:D = 8:16), control group (L:D = 12:12) and long photoperiod group (L:D = 18:6) were set up for 60 days. The growth performance, ovarian development, changes in hormones and key enzyme activities in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and expressions of key regulatory genes in the HPG axis were studied under different photoperiod conditions.

Copper pollution might have a negative effect on collagen metabolism in fish. To test this hypothesis, we exposed an important economical fish, silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus), to three concentrations of Cu for up to 21 days to simulate natural exposure to copper. With increasing copper exposure concentration and time, hematoxylin and eosin staining and picrosirius red staining revealed extensive vacuolization, cell necrosis, and tissue structure destruction, and a change of type and abnormal accumulation of collagen in the liver, intestine, and muscle tissues.
