A Leucine-Rich Receptor Like Kinase LRK2 Is Involved in the Regulation of Cold Tolerance and Yield in Rice.

Low temperature affects rice growth and yield. Receptor-like protein kinases play an important role in plant growth and development. In order to reveal the role of a leucine-rich receptor like kinase LRK2 in low temperature stress and growth and development of rice.

Design and optimization of hollow microneedle spacing for three materials using finite element methods.

The main advantages of microneedles are precise drug delivery through human skin, minimal tissue damage and painlessness. We conducted structural analysis and skin puncture studies of hollow microneedles using ANSYS for three materials: Hafnium Dioxide (HfO), Polyglycolic acid (PGA) and Polylactic acid (PLA). Firstly, we selected three lengths, three tip diameters and three base diameters to conduct a L(3) orthogonal experiment.

Leptin action on ARC-PVN neural circuit regulates ejaculation behavior by altering sympathetic neuroplasticity.

Background: Although some studies have revealed the close relationship between leptin and premature ejaculation in clinical practice, whether and how leptin participates in the regulation of ejaculatory behaviors are still unknown.

Objective: To explore the role of leptin on ejaculatory behaviors and its underlying mechanism.

Materials And Methods: Copulation behavior tests were performed after acute and chronic leptin administration at peripheral and central levels.

The mechanism of discriminative aminoacylation by isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase based on wobble nucleotide recognition.

The faithful charging of amino acids to cognate tRNAs by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARSs) determines the fidelity of protein translation. Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IleRS) distinguishes tRNA from tRNA solely based on the nucleotide at wobble position (N34), and a single substitution at N34 could exchange the aminoacylation specificity between two tRNAs. Here, we report the structural and biochemical mechanism of N34 recognition-based tRNA discrimination by Saccharomyces cerevisiae IleRS (ScIleRS).

Validation of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-R) in rural contexts in South Africa.

Resilience is central to young children's healthy and happy development. The Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-R) has been widely used in several countries. However, its construct validity among young children in rural South Africa has not been examined.
