Transcriptomic and enzymatic analysis of peroxidase families at the early growth stage of halophyte ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) under salt stress.

Ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) is a halophyte and an inducible CAM plant. Ice plant seedlings display moderate salt tolerance, with root growth unaffected by 200 mM NaCl treatments, though hypocotyl elongation is hindered in salt-stressed etiolated seedlings.

Development of multiple genome-wide proteome microarrays comprised wafer substrate-based chip and its scanner: An advanced high-throughput and sensitivity for molecular interactions studies.

Proteome microarray technology enables high-throughput analysis of protein interactions with all kinds of molecules. Wafer (6-inch) substrates offer a promising alternative to conventional glass (2.6 × 7.

Cepstral Peak Prominence: A Valuable Measure of Voice Outcome Severity in Patients With Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis.

Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between the position of the paralyzed vocal fold and voice quality in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) and identified a reliable acoustic analysis tool to enhance the accuracy of voice quality assessments in this population.

Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted with 70 patients with UVFP diagnosed at Mackay Memorial Hospital. Acoustic features-jitter, shimmer, the harmonic-to-noise ratio (HNR), and the cepstral peak prominence smoothed (CPPs)-were analyzed using the Praat software.

L. alleviates acute lung injury in human A-549 cells by reducing NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.

Background: L. (celery) is a dietary vegetable with anti-inflammatory properties. It has the potential to treat acute lung injury (ALI) caused by COVID-19 or other diseases.

Methods to Study Poxvirus Structures by Cryo-EM Imaging Modalities.

Poxviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses that represent the largest known highly pathogenic viruses infecting humans. They undergo dramatic morphological changes during their maturation process, resulting in structural differences between each virion, and their surface is decorated with more than a dozen randomly distributed surface proteins that facilitate viral entry. These are the main reasons poxviruses have eluded high-resolution structure determination.
