Article Synopsis
- The sugar transporter SWEET is crucial for plant growth, carbon distribution, and resistance to environmental stresses, especially in cassava under water and salt stress.
- Researchers identified 28 MeSWEET genes in cassava, focusing on MeSWEET15a/b, which are located on the cell membrane and primarily transfer sucrose.
- Silencing MeSWEET15a/b genes resulted in increased sucrose in leaves, altered carbon allocation favoring starch accumulation in leaves over roots, and enhanced tolerance to water and salt stress through the accumulation of osmolytes.

Article Synopsis
- Porous carbon fiber felts (PCFFs) are strong and lightweight, making them suitable for orthopedic surgery, but they lack biological properties.
- Researchers developed hydroxyapatite/chitosan/carbon porous scaffolds (HCCPs) to enhance PCFFs' biocompatibility by coating them with HA/chitosan nanohybrid layers.
- HCCPs show improved bioactivity, promoting bone-like formation and better cell adhesion, suggesting they are promising materials for bone tissue engineering and implantation.
