Effects of drought stress on the secondary metabolism of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and the function of SbWRKY34 in drought resistance.

The pharmacological properties of the dried root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, a Chinese medicinal herb, include antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral effects. In S. baicalensis quality assessment, concentrations of baicalin, wogonoside, baicalein, and wogonin in the root are crucial.

Heterologous Expression of MYB Gene () or bHLH Gene () from Increases the Phenolics Pools in .

Phenolic acids have health-promoting properties, however, but their low concentrations in limit broader medicinal applications. MYB and bHLH transcription factors activate multiple target genes involved in phenylpropanoid metabolism, thereby enhancing the production of various secondary metabolites. We introduced the MYB transcription factor () or () into and observed that antioxidant activity in transgenic plants increased by 1.

A low-fat amino acid diet reverses intestinal failure and shows good growth trends in five infants with diacylglycerol transferase 1 (DGAT1) deficiency: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CODEs) caused by diacylglycerol transferase 1 (DGAT1) mutations often cause disease within 2 weeks after birth. If not treated properly, the disease can be life-threatening; therefore, early diagnosis and rational treatment strategies are essential. This study was conducted to improve the understanding of congenital diarrhea caused by DGAT1 deficiency.

Chemical composition determination and transcriptomic analyses provide insight into the differences between wild and grafted Semen Ziziphi Spinosae.

Semen Ziziphi Spinosae (SZS) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine widely used to treat insomnia and anxiety in clinical practice. Currently, the demand for SZS is increasing every year, but the production of wild SZS is unstable due to environmental factors. Grafting sour jujube scions onto sour jujube or jujube tree stocks can achieve a high production rate within a short period of time.

Multiplexed sequential imaging in living cells with orthogonal fluorogenic RNA aptamer/dye pairs.

Detecting multiple targets in living cells is important in cell biology. However, multiplexed fluorescence imaging beyond two-to-three targets remains a technical challenge. Herein, we introduce a multiplexed imaging strategy, 'sequential Fluorogenic RNA Imaging-Enabled Sensor' (seqFRIES), which enables live-cell target detection via sequential rounds of imaging-and-stripping.

SGLT2i Alleviates Atherosclerosis by Inhibiting NHE1 Activation to Protect against Macrophage Senescence Induced by Angiotensin II.

Background: Sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT2) inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been found to have anti-atherosclerotic effects in clinical treatment.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore whether angiotensin II (Ang II) induces changes in the expression of Na+/H+ exchanger of cytoplasmic membrane channel proteins (NHE1) and SGLT2 in macrophages and whether dapagliflozin (DAPA), an SGLT2i, protects against Ang II induced macrophage senescence by inhibiting NHE1 activation to alleviate Atherosclerosis (AS).

Methods: After intervention with DAPA plus gavage or feeding them a high-fat diet, the mice's aortas were dissected, and oil red O staining was performed.

Orbital-dependent electron correlation in double-layer nickelate LaNiO.

The latest discovery of high temperature superconductivity near 80 K in LaNiO under high pressure has attracted much attention. Many proposals are put forth to understand the origin of superconductivity. The determination of electronic structures is a prerequisite to establish theories to understand superconductivity in nickelates but is still lacking.

Activation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering sharing with unsharp nonlocal measurements.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is commonly shared among multiple observers by utilizing unsharp measurements. Nevertheless, their usage is restricted to local measurements and does not encompass all nonlocal measurement-based cases. In this work, a method for finding beneficial local measurement settings has been expanded to include nonlocal measurement cases.
