Integrated Transcriptomics-Proteomics Analysis Reveals the Response Mechanism of to Infection.

Morels ( spp.) are valuable and rare edible mushrooms with unique flavors and high nutritional value. White mold disease occurring during cultivation has seriously affected the quality and yield of morels in China.

, a new species from the Manghe Rhesus Monkey National Nature Reserve, China.

A novel species of earthstar from China, is described. Phylogenetic analyses based on sequences of the nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA (nrLSU), and subunit 6 of ATP synthase () regions showed that the species belongs to subsect. in sect.

Meta-analysis of minimally invasive arthroscopy with sodium hyaluronate for wound healing of knee osteoarthritis treatment in the elderly.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is not merely a medical condition-it is a prevalent and incapacitating ailment that significantly affects the quality of life for millions worldwide, especially as they age. The incidence of KOA increases year by year with increasing age. This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of combining arthroscopy with sodium hyaluronate (SH) in the treatment of wound healing of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in elderly patients, with a focus on wound healing and overall joint function restoration.

Genome-Wide Screening and Stability Verification of the Robust Internal Control Genes for RT-qPCR in Filamentous Fungi.

In real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), internal control genes (ICGs) are crucial for normalization. This study screened 6 novel ICGs: Pre-mRNA-splicing factor cwc15 (); ER associated DnaJ chaperone (); E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase NEDD4 (); ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B (MDR/TAP), member 1 (); Exosome complex exonuclease DIS3/RRP44 (); V-type H-transporting ATPase sub-unit A () from the 22-transcriptome data of 8 filamentous fungi. The six novel ICGs are all involved in the basic biological process of cells and share the different transcription levels from high to low.

Roles of circular RNAs in osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (Review).

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes and even myoblasts, and are therefore defined as pluripotent cells. BMSCs have become extremely important seed cells in gene therapy, tissue engineering, cell replacement therapy and regenerative medicine due to their potential in multilineage differentiation, self‑renewal, immune regulation and other fields. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non‑coding RNAs that are widely present in eukaryotic cells.

Roles of long non‑coding RNA in osteoarthritis (Review).

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic bone and joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration and joint inflammation and is the most common form of arthritis. The clinical manifestations of OA are chronic pain and joint activity disorder, which severely affect the patient quality of life. Long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) is a class of RNA molecules >200 nucleotides long that are expressed in animals, plants, yeast, prokaryotes and viruses.

Genome-wide identification of ubiquitin proteasome subunits as superior reference genes for transcript normalization during receptacle development in strawberry cultivars.

Background: Gene transcripts that show invariant abundance during development are ideal as reference genes (RGs) for accurate gene expression analyses, such as RNA blot analysis and reverse transcription-quantitative real time PCR (RT-qPCR) analyses. In a genome-wide analysis, we selected three "Commonly used" housekeeping genes (HKGs), fifteen "Traditional" HKGs, and nine novel genes as candidate RGs based on 80 publicly available transcriptome libraries that include data for receptacle development in eight strawberry cultivars.

Results: The results of the multifaceted assessment consistently revealed that expression of the novel RGs showed greater stability compared with that of the "Commonly used" and "Traditional" HKGs in transcriptome and RT-qPCR analyses.

A rare primary Candida parapsilosis infection of the knee joint in a patient without predisposing factors: A case report.

Rational: Knee joint infection caused by isolated primary Candida is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported. It occurs most often in patients with predisposing factors (e.g.

HBV infection-induced liver cirrhosis development in dual-humanised mice with human bone mesenchymal stem cell transplantation.

Objective: Developing a small animal model that accurately delineates the natural history of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and immunopathophysiology is necessary to clarify the mechanisms of host-virus interactions and to identify intervention strategies for HBV-related liver diseases. This study aimed to develop an HBV-induced chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis mouse model through transplantation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs).

Design: Transplantation of hBMSCs into (FRGS) mice with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) induced by hamster-anti-mouse CD95 antibody JO2 generated a liver and immune cell dual-humanised (hBMSC-FRGS) mouse.

An HBV-tolerant immunocompetent model that effectively simulates chronic hepatitis B virus infection in mice.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the leading cause of liver disease and hepatic carcinoma (HCC). Approximately 350 million people worldwide are infected with HBV and at risk of chronicity. An efficient HBV-tolerant murine model that mimics HBV infection in humans is desirable for HBV-related research.

Detection and analysis of tupaia hepatocytes via mAbs against tupaia serum albumin.

On the basis of its close phylogenetic relationship with primates, the development of Tupaia belangeri as an infection animal model and drug metabolism model could provide a new option for preclinical studies, especially in hepatitis virus research. As a replacement for primary human hepatocytes (PHHs), primary tupaia hepatocytes (PTHs) have been widely used. Similar to human serum albumin, tupaia serum albumin (TSA) is the most common liver synthesis protein and is an important biomarker for PTHs and liver function.
