Elucidating the mechanism of nucleation inhibition of pathology crystallization of gout based on the evidence from amorphous form and in solution.

The first gout attack in a hyperuricaemic patient may be regarded as a nucleation event which is caused by monosodium urate monohydrate (MSUM) deposition in the synovial fluid. The effect of Tailor-Made Inhibition (TMI) may be effective as drugs for the prevention of aberrant nucleation and crystallization. Therefore, the understanding of the underlying mechanisms in inhibiting the MSUM nucleation by TMI has proven to be of great significance.

Mapping and Preliminary Analysis of ABORTED MICROSPORES () as the Candidate Gene Underlying the Male Sterility () Mutant in Melon ( L.).

Melon is an important agricultural and economic vegetable crop worldwide. The genetic male sterility mutant (ms-5) has a recessive nuclear gene that controls the male sterility germplasm. Male sterility could reduce the cost of F seed production in melon, but heterozygous fertile plants should be removed before pollination.
