The fluoride exporter (CsFEX) regulates fluoride uptake/accumulation in Camellia sinensis under different pH.

Fluoride (F) can be absorbed from the environment and hyperaccumulate in leaves of Camellia sinensis without exhibiting any toxic symptoms. Fluoride exporter in C. sinensis (CsFEX) could transport F to extracellular environment to alleviate F accumulation and F toxicity, but its functional mechanism remains unclear.

High Plant Protein Diet Ameliorated Hepatic Lipid Accumulation Through the Modulation of Gut Microbiota.

Scope: Substituting plant protein for animal protein has emerged as a promising strategy for managing atherogenic lipids. However, the impact of long-term intake of a high plant protein diet (HPD) on hepatic lipid disorder remains unclear.

Methods And Results: Eight-week-old apolipoprotein E deficient (apoE ) mice are fed with either a normal protein diet (NCD) or HPD for 12 weeks.

Cardiometabolic benefits of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei 8700:2: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.

Background & Aims: Modulating microbial metabolism via probiotic supplementation has been proposed as an attractive strategy for the prevention of cardiometabolic diseases. Recently, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (L. paracasei) was reported to alleviate metabolic disorders in murine models, however, its beneficial effects in humans remain to be determined.

Transcriptome analysis reveals the roles of phytohormone signaling in tea plant (Camellia sinensis L.) flower development.

Background: Tea plant (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) is an important economic tea crop, but flowering will consume a lot of nutrients of C.

Identification and response analysis of xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolases (XTH) family to fluoride and aluminum treatment in Camellia sinensis.

Background: Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolases (XTH) can disrupt and reconnect the xyloglucan chains, modify the cellulose-xyloglucan complex structure in the cell wall to reconstruct the cell wall. Previous studies have reported that XTH plays a key role in the aluminum (Al) tolerance of tea plants (Camellia sinensis), which is a typical plant that accumulates Al and fluoride (F), but its role in F resistance has not been reported.

Results: Here, 14 CsXTH genes were identified from C.

The observed topological vortex domains and the rotating magnetocaloric effect in the hexagonal RMnO (R = Ho, Er, and Yb) crystals.

Hexagonal RMnO (R = Er, Ho and Yb) single crystals were grown and their unique vortex domain structures, magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) were comprehensively investigated. The topological vortex domains/structures were clearly illustrated by polarized optical microscope and piezo response force microscopy, confirming a high quality of the crystals. The magnetic transitions related to R -Mn interactions and anisotropic properties were observed in the RMnO crystals.

Circulating tumor cells in cancer patients: developments and clinical applications for immunotherapy.

Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are shed into the bloodstream from either primary or metastatic tumors during an intermediate stage of metastasis. In recent years, immunotherapy has also become an important focus of cancer research.

Serum calciotropic hormone levels, and dental fluorisis in children exposed to different concentrations of fluoride and iodine in drinking water.

Background: High fluoride exposure can result in dental fluorosis. Fluoride and iodine are coexistent in the drinking water of areas in China and may affect the prevalence of dental fluorosis and osteogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum calciotropic hormone level, and dental fluorisis in children exposed to different concentrations of fluoride and iodine in drinking water.
