A Flowering Morphological Investigation, Fruit Fatty Acids, and Mineral Elements Dynamic Changes of Maxim.

Maxim is a high-value species of fruit oil with edible, abundant linoleic acid and polyphenols. is described as a dioecious species, and the flowers are male; female and bisexual flowers are produced on separate plants. In order to explore the flower types of , the morphology of its flowers and inflorescence were investigated in this study.

Boosting Stimulated Emission via a Hydrogen-Bonded Co-Crystallization Approach in Molecular Crystals.

Stimulated emission (SE) of organic π-conjugated molecule in solid state remains a significant challenge, mainly involving the mode of molecular stacking that invariably alters the photo-physical processes. Herein, we successfully realized stimulated emission in molecular crystals using a hydrogen-bonded co-crystallization strategy. Two hydrogen-bonded co-crystals, obtained from 1,4-bis-p-cyanostyrylbenzene (CNDSB) and two types of co-formers, can boost stimulated emission and show decent amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), whereas the parent CNDSB crystal is not SE-active.

Artemisinin improves neurocognitive deficits associated with sepsis by activating the AMPK axis in microglia.

Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction due to dysregulated systemic inflammatory and immune response to infection, often leading to cognitive impairments. Growing evidence shows that artemisinin, an antimalarial drug, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory activities. In this study we investigated whether artemisinin exerted protective effect against neurocognitive deficits associated with sepsis and explored the underlying mechanisms.

Silencing of circFoxO3 Protects HT22 Cells from Glutamate-Induced Oxidative Injury via Regulating the Mitochondrial Apoptosis Pathway.

Recent studies demonstrated that FoxO3 circular RNA (circFoxO3) plays an important regulatory role in tumourigenesis and cardiomyopathy. However, the role of circFoxO3 in neurodegenerative diseases remains unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the possible role of circFoxO3 in neurodegenerative diseases and the underlying mechanisms.
