Developing simple and efficient multi-gene expression systems is crucial for multi-trait improvement or bioproduction in transgenic plants. In previous research, an -based bicistronic system from the nonpathogenic fungus efficiently expressed multiple enzyme proteins in yeast and maize, and the heterologous enzymes successfully performed their catalytic activity to reconstruct the biosynthetic pathway in the host organism. Unlike enzyme proteins, some heterologous functional proteins (such as insecticidal proteins) are dose-dependent and they need to express sufficient levels to perform their biological functions.

This study analyzed the impact of immunization strategies on the age-specific and sex-specific incidence of rubella in China from 2004 to 2023 to inform efforts to accelerate rubella elimination.
Methods: Annual rubella-containing vaccine (RCV) coverage levels, reported rubella cases and incidence, and vaccination status of cases were obtained from the National Immunization Program Information Management System, the National Notifiable Diseases Reporting System, and the Measles Surveillance System, and used to describe temporal trends.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of dual strategies using non-metal doped carbon nitride (CN) and a heterojunction with titanium carbide (TiCT) in electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) for degrading tough organic pollutants.
- It finds that the incorporation of non-metals (like oxygen, fluorine, and silicon) and the formation of heterojunctions significantly improve the catalytic activity for the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonosulfate by making these substances more reactive.
- The research highlights that certain combinations, especially O@CN/TiCF, maximize the efficiency of these reactions, with the potential to remediate harmful substances such as 2,4-D by generating effective oxidants through these advanced
Background: Frailty is a complex aging-related syndrome characterized by a cumulative loss of physiological reserve and increased vulnerability to adverse clinical outcomes, including falls, disability, incapacity and death. While an increasing number of studies suggest that the gut microbiota may play a key role in the pathophysiology of frailty, direct evaluation of the association between gut microbiome alterations and frailty in older adults remains limited.
Aim: To gain insight into gut dysbiosis in frail older adults.
