The DnaJ1 heat shock protein interacts with the flavanone 3-hydroxylase-like protein F3HL to synergistically enhance drought tolerance by scavenging reactive oxygen species in tomato.

The widely distributed heat shock protein DnaJ is renowned for its pivotal role in enhancing thermal tolerance in plants; however, its involvement in drought tolerance remains elusive. In this study, genes encoding DnaJ1 were cloned from drought-resistant wild tomato (Solanum pennellii) and drought-sensitive cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). SpDnaJ1 and SlDnaJ1 from both tomato species were localized in the chloroplast, and their gene expression was induced by various abiotic stresses.

Highly Sensitive Detection of Engrailed-2 Protein Biomarker in Urine for Using Solution-Gated Graphene Transistor Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer.

Engrailed-2 (EN2) protein, a transcription factor in the homologous domain expressed in prostate cancer (PCa) cells and secreted into the urine, is considered a promising biomarker for noninvasive detection of PCa. EN2 protein in urine samples can be obtained by noninvasive means, but the low biomarker concentration in urine samples poses a great challenge for noninvasive detection of the PCa biomarker. Herein, we develop a solution-gated graphene transistor (SGGT) biosensor to detect the biomarker of the EN2 protein for PCa diagnosis.

Simultaneous and Proportional Control Based on an Enhanced Musculoskeletal Model.

Recently, the musculoskeletal model (MM) has been widely studied for decoding movement intent from electromyography (EMG) signals. However, the decoding performance of the MM is impaired for the coordinated movements of multiple degrees of freedom (DoFs) due to the crosstalk between signals of multiple muscles. To address this problem, this study proposed an enhanced MM for 3-DoF motion prediction by taking the "divide and conquer" (DC) strategy and integrating the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithm, which is named as DC-NMF-MM.

Effect and mechanism of Dichloroacetate in the treatment of stroke and the resolution strategy for side effect.

Stroke is a serious disease that leads to high morbidity and mortality, and ischemic stroke accounts for more than 80% of strokes. At present, the only effective drug recombinant tissue plasminogen activator is limited by its indications, and its clinical application rate is not high. Therefore, it is urgent to develop effective new drugs according to the pathological mechanism.

Ecological and Social Pressures Influence Diel Activity Patterns in Wild Tibetan Macaques.

The nighttime behavior of diurnal species is a "black box." Although diurnal animals spend approximately half their lives in the dark, research has, for too long, relied on the simplifying assumption that what we can't observe isn't important. Advances in our ability to monitor nighttime behavior reveal that this is incorrect; essential biological and behavioral processes play out in the dark which are critical for understanding a species' ecology and evolution.

MacaqueNet: Advancing comparative behavioural research through large-scale collaboration.

There is a vast and ever-accumulating amount of behavioural data on individually recognised animals, an incredible resource to shed light on the ecological and evolutionary drivers of variation in animal behaviour. Yet, the full potential of such data lies in comparative research across taxa with distinct life histories and ecologies. Substantial challenges impede systematic comparisons, one of which is the lack of persistent, accessible and standardised databases.

Spontaneous bifacial capping of perovskite film for efficient and mechanically stable flexible solar cell.

Flexible perovskite solar cells (F-PSCs) are appealing for their flexibility and high power-to-weight ratios. However, the fragile grain boundaries (GBs) in perovskite films can lead to stress and strain cracks under bending conditions, limiting the performance and stability of F-PSCs. Herein, we show that the perovskite film can facilely achieve in situ bifacial capping via introducing 4-(methoxy)benzylamine hydrobromide (MeOBABr) as the precursor additive.

Persistent but weak magnetic field at the Moon's midstage revealed by Chang'e-5 basalt.

The evolution of the lunar magnetic field can reveal the Moon's interior structure, thermal history, and surface environment. The mid-to-late-stage evolution of the lunar magnetic field is poorly constrained, and thus, the existence of a long-lived lunar dynamo remains controversial. The Chang'e-5 mission returned the heretofore youngest mare basalts from Oceanus Procellarum uniquely positioned at midlatitude.

An MRI-guided stereotactic neurosurgical robotic system for semi-enclosed head coils.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers high-quality soft tissue imaging without radiation exposure, which allows stereotactic techniques to significantly improve outcomes in cranial surgeries, particularly in deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures. However, conventional stereotactic neurosurgeries often rely on mechanical stereotactic head frames and preoperative imaging, leading to suboptimal results due to the invisibility and the contact with patient's head, which may cause additional harm. This paper presents a frameless, MRI-guided stereotactic neurosurgical robotic system.
