Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of maize cell heterogeneity and systemic immune responses against Puccinia polysora Underw.

Southern corn rust (SCR), caused by Puccinia polysora Underw (P. polysora), is a catastrophic disease affecting maize, leading to significant global yield losses. The disease manifests primarily as pustules on the upper surface of corn leaves, obscuring our understanding of its cellular heterogeneity, the maize's response to its infection and the underlying gene expression regulatory mechanisms.

Dehydrogenative α,γ-Diphosphinylation of Allylamines Enabled by Photoinduced Cobaloxime Catalysis.

A regioselective radical α,γ-diphosphinylation of allylamines with secondary phosphine oxides by photoinduced cobaloxime catalysis is described. The reaction tolerates a wide range of allylamines and phosphine oxides, affording α-amino diphosphine dioxides in moderate to good yields with hydrogen evolution. The synthesis of new diphosphine monoxide and diphosphine ligands and the promising antitumor activities of products demonstrate the great potential applications of this approach in catalysis and drug discovery.

A molecular mechanism underlies grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) TARBP2 regulating PKR-mediated cell apoptosis.

Interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) is one of the key antiviral arms in the innate immune system. The activated PKR performs its antiviral function by inhibiting protein translation and inducing apoptosis. In our previous study, we identified grass carp TARBP2 as an inhibitor of PKR activity, thereby suppressing cell apoptosis.

All compounds were evaluated for their anti-complementary activity in vitro, and compounds 1, 4, and 6 exhibited anti-complement effect with CH values from 0.

Research status and prospect on the mechanisms of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for constipation of Parkinson's disease.

Constipation may accelerate the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). The quality of life in PD patients can be significantly improved when constipation is treated, hence the disease progression may be delayed. At present, the mechanism research is still at the initial stage for acupuncture in treatment of PD, focusing on neurohumoral factors, intestinal flora, bacterial fermentation products and intestinal inflammation； and there are the problems such as single intervention, thinking limitation and insufficient cooperation among disciplines.

Analysis of cardiovascular function in diabetic patients using EEMD-ICA fusion multi-scale percussion entropy.

Background: Diabetes is a chronic disease that can lead to a variety of complications and even cause death. The signal characteristics of the photoplethysmography signals (PPG) and electrocardiogram signals (ECG) can reflect the autonomic and vascular aspects of the effects of diabetes on the body.

Objective: Based on the complex mechanism of interaction between PPG and ECG, a set of ensemble empirical mode decomposition-independent component analysis (EEMD-ICA) fusion multi-scale percussion entropy index (MSPEI) method was proposed to analyze cardiovascular function in diabetic patients.

Amelioratory effects of astragaloside IV on hepatocarcinogenesis via Nrf2-mediated pSmad3C/3L transformation.

Background: Phosphorylated Smad3 isoforms are reversible and antagonistic, and the tumour-suppressive pSmad3C can shift to an oncogenic pSmad3L signal. In addition, Nrf2 has a two-way regulatory effect on tumours, protecting normal cells from carcinogens and promoting tumour cell survival in chemotherapeutics. Accordingly, we hypothesised that the transformation of pSmad3C/3L is the basis for Nrf2 to produce both pro- and/or anti-tumourigenic effects in hepatocarcinogenesis.
