TORC1 Regulates Thermotolerance via Modulating Metabolic Rate and Antioxidant Capacity in Scallop .

Target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is a key regulator of metabolism in eukaryotes across multiple pathways. Although TORC1 has been extensively studied in vertebrates and some invertebrates, research on this complex in scallops is limited. In this study, we identified the genes encoding TORC1 complex subunits in the scallop through genome-wide in silico scanning.

Functional allocation of Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) unveils thermotolerance in scallop Argopecten irradians irradians.

Global warming has significantly impacted agriculture, particularly in animal husbandry and aquaculture industry. Rising ocean temperatures due to global warming are severely affecting shellfish production, necessitating an understanding of how shellfish cope with thermal stress. The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in cell growth, differentiation, adaptation to environmental stress, inflammatory response, and managing high temperature stress.

AMPK-mediated regulation of cardiac energy metabolism: Implications for thermotolerance in Argopecten irradians irradians.

AMPK is a key regulator of metabolism in eukaryotes across various pathways related to energy regulation. Although extensive investigations of AMPK have been conducted in mammals and some model organisms, research on AMPK in scallops is comparatively limited. In this study, three AMPK family genes (AiAMPKα, AiAMPKβ and AiAMPKγ) in scallop Argopecten irradians irradians were identified through genome scanning.

Transcriptomic analysis reveals PC4's participation in thermotolerance of scallop Argopecten irradians irradians by regulating myocardial bioelectric activity.

Rising ocean temperatures due to global warming pose a significant threat to the bay scallop aquaculture industry. Understanding the mechanisms of thermotolerance in bay scallops is crucial for developing thermotolerant breeds. Our prior research identified Arg0230340.

Re-examining the impact of European astronomy in seventeenth-century China: a study of Xue Fengzuo's system of thought and his integration of Chinese and Western knowledge.

During the late Ming and early Qing period, Jesuit missionaries introduced European science into China, and thereby profoundly influenced the later development of Chinese astronomy. Not only did European astronomy become the official system of the Qing dynasty, but the traditional way to 'attain up above' by connecting the study of astronomy and learning gradually fell into disuse. However, the astronomers in this period expressed different views on these two processes.
