Chromosome-scale haplotype-phased genome assemblies of the male and female lines of wild asparagus (Asparagus kiusianus), a dioecious plant species.

Asparagus kiusianus is a disease-resistant dioecious plant species and a wild relative of garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis). To enhance A. kiusianus genomic resources, advance plant science, and facilitate asparagus breeding, we determined the genome sequences of the male and female lines of A.

Dual phosphorylation of protein phosphatase PPM1H promotes dephosphorylation of Smad1 in cellulo.

Protein phosphatase PPM1H is known to participate in various biological or pathophysiological mechanisms. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of its regulation. In this study, we investigated the protein kinases that directly phosphorylate PPM1H, identifying them as cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I (CaMKI).

A case of placental polyp treated with an intraoperative injection of prostaglandin F followed by hysteroscopic resection.

A 27-year-old woman had massive genital bleeding after an artificial abortion. Color Doppler ultrasonography showed a hypervascular mass. Hysteroscopy revealed a placental polyp.
