ALBA3 maintains male fertility under heat stress in plants.

Heat stress (HS) at the reproductive stage detrimentally affects crop yields and seed quality. However, the molecular mechanisms that protect reproductive processes in plants under HS remain largely unknown. Here, we report that Acetylation Lowers Binding Affinity 3 (ALBA3) is crucial for safeguarding male fertility against HS in Arabidopsis.

Efficacy and safety of acupuncture with moxibustion for knee osteoarthritis: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is prevalent, yet its management remains challenging. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture combined with moxibustion versus other standard treatments in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Methods: Searches were conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to retrieve relevant RCTs.

Core-shell In/H-Beta@Ce catalyst with enhanced sulfur and water tolerance for selective catalytic reduction of NO by CH.

A series of core-shell In/H-Beta@Ce catalysts were synthesized by encapsulating In/H-Beta within an amorphous CeO shell and then evaluated for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by CH (CH-SCR) under challenging conditions with SO and HO. IB@Ce-2 achieved 57.7 % NO conversion at 625°C, representing a 23.

Personalized Nanovaccine Based on STING-Activating Nanocarrier for Robust Cancer Immunotherapy.

Tumor-specific T cells play a vital role in potent antitumor immunity. However, their efficacy is severely affected by the spatiotemporal orchestration of antigen-presentation as well as the innate immune response in dendritic cells (DCs). Herein, we develop a minimalist nanovaccine that exploits a dual immunofunctional polymeric nanoplatform (DIPNP) to encapsulate ovalbumin (OVA) via electrostatic interaction when the nanocarrier serves as both STING agonist and immune adjuvant in DCs.

Preschoolers Represent Abstract Relations Predicated on Kind Membership.

Recent work demonstrates that U.S. preschoolers can represent the abstract relational concepts and when these abstract relational concepts are predicated upon perceptual dimensions (e.
