Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression pattern analysis of HAK/KUP/KT potassium transporter gene family in potato.

The HAK/KUP/KT (High-affinity K transporters/K uptake permeases/K transporters) is the largest and most dominant potassium transporter family in plants, playing a crucial role in various biological processes. However, our understanding of HAK/KUP/KT gene family in potato ( L.) remains limited and unclear.

Application of nanomaterials in precision treatment of lung cancer.

Lung cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies worldwide, characterized by high mortality rates due to its aggressive nature, metastatic potential, and drug resistance. Despite advancements in conventional therapies, their efficacy is often limited by systemic toxicity, poor tumor specificity, and the emergence of resistance mechanisms. Nanomedicine has emerged as a promising approach to address these challenges, leveraging the unique physicochemical properties of nanomaterials to enhance drug delivery, reduce off-target effects, and enable combination therapies.

Association of pre- and post-diagnosis dietary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer: a prospective cohort study.

Background: The evidence on the relationship of dietary antioxidant nutrients with the survival of ovarian cancer (OC) remains scarce.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate these associations in a prospective cohort of Chinese patients with OC.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, patients with epithelial OC completed a food frequency questionnaire at diagnosis and 12 months post-diagnosis, and were followed from 2015 to 2023.
