The phenomenon of multiple-grain spikelets is frequently observed in gramineous crops. In the case of dual-floret spikelets, the upper fertile floret develops normally to form a single grain, while the lower sterile floret undergoes abortion. Here we elucidate the role of Double-Grain 1 (DG1), a gene encoding a homeobox-domain-containing protein, in regulating the lower floret meristem activity and double-grain spikelet trait in sorghum.

Transition metal and metal oxide heterojunctions have been widely studied as bifunctional oxygen reduction/evolution reaction (ORR/OER) electrocatalysts for Zn-air batteries, but the dynamic changes of transition metal oxides and the interface during catalysis are still unclear. Here, bifunctional electrocatalyst of Co─CoNbO is reported, containing lattice interlocked Co nanodots and CoNbO nanorods, which construct a strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) interface. Unlike the recognition that transition metals mainly serve as ORR active sites and metal oxides as OER active sites, it is found that both ORR/OER sites originate from CoNbO, while Co acts as an electronic regulatory unit.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a deadly disease and lacks a precise marker for diagnosis worldwide. Our previous work has shown the overexpression of flotillin-1 (FLOT1) in OC tissue. To improve diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy, we evaluated the serum level of FLOT1 in OC patients and found that the serum concentration of FLOT1 as well as CA125 was significantly increased in patients with OC compared with healthy control (p < 0.

Producing spatial transformations that are diffeomorphic is a key goal in deformable image registration. As a diffeomorphic transformation should have positive Jacobian determinant everywhere, the number of voxels with has been used to test for diffeomorphism and also to measure the irregularity of the transformation. For digital transformations, is commonly approximated using a central difference, but this strategy can yield positive 's for transformations that are clearly not diffeomorphic-even at the voxel resolution level.

Angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling is a crucial process in bone tissue engineering, requiring a suitable material structure for vessel growth. Recently, the 3D culture system has gained significant attention due to its benefits in cell growth, proliferation and tissue regeneration. Its most notable advantage is its ECM-like function, which supports endothelial cell adhesion and facilitates the formation of vascular-like networks-crucial for angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling.

Endometrial cysts of the ovary (EMC) may develop into endometriosis (EM)‑associated ovarian cancer over time (EAOC), but the pathogenesis of this disease has not been determined. In the present study, RNA sequencing was used to identify a feasible biomarker, and the molecular function of this biomarker in eutopic endometrial cells from EAOC and EMC patients was evaluated to explore the potential mechanism related to EAOC and orthotopic endometrial tissue. RNA sequencing was performed on 5 EAOC and 4 EMC tissue samples, and differential expression analysis was performed.

Background: The dense and fibrotic nature of the pancreatic tumor microenvironment significantly contributes to tumor invasion and metastasis. This challenging environment acts as a formidable barrier, hindering effective drug penetration and delivery, which ultimately limits the efficacy of conventional cancer treatments. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have emerged as promising nanocarriers to overcome the extracellular matrix barrier; however, their limited targeting precision, poor delivery efficiency, and insufficient photothermal conversion present challenges.

Background: Mitochondrial damage is significant in autoimmune diseases, with mitochondrial N-formyl methionine peptide (fMet) being released from damaged mitochondria. However, its potential as a marker for assessing the severity of two kinds of encephalitis - anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) and anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) - remains uncertain. We measured CSF fMet levels in anti-NMDAR encephalitis and anti-LG1 encephalitis patients, assessing its diagnostic and therapeutic potential.

We have developed a deformability cytometer that simultaneously measures the optical and electrical shape change of single cells in a viscoelastic shear flow. The optical deformability of single cells is measured using a low-cost CMOS camera illuminated with a high-power LED triggered from an electrical impedance signal created by a passing cell. Simultaneously the electrical deformability of the cell is determined using electrode arrays that measure shape changes along different axes.
