Genus-wide analysis of antagonism toward and plant pathogens and the contribution of cellulases to the antagonism.

Parasitism is an important lifestyle in the genus but has not been studied in a genus-wide way toward and hosts. Our approach screened a genus-wide set of 30 species in dual culture assays with two soil-borne and three plant-parasitic species and used exo-proteomic analyses, with the aim to correlate antagonism with potential strategies for attacking and . The spp.

Growth, Enzymatic, and Transcriptomic Analysis of Deletion Reveals a Major Regulator of Plant Biomass-Degrading Enzymes in .

The regulation of plant biomass degradation by fungi is critical to the carbon cycle, and applications in bioproducts and biocontrol. is an important plant biomass degrader, enzyme producer, and biocontrol agent, but few putative major transcriptional regulators have been deleted in this species. The .

Generation of Allogeneic CAR T Cells through Specific Degradation of the T Cell Antigen Receptor by E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Fusion Proteins.

Receptor downregulation is instrumental for many therapeutic interventions. Receptor knockout through gene-editing technologies is efficient but can introduce off-target mutations and chromothripsis. Regulation of gene expression at the protein level is a promising alternative.

Nanofiber fabric based ion-gradient-enhanced moist-electric generator with a sustained voltage output of 1.1 volts.

Moisture-enabled electricity generation as an emerging new energy-harvesting technology is one of the most fascinating and promising candidates for supplying renewable and clean power. However, existing moist-electric generators (MEGs) can only produce intermittent, brief bursts of power with voltage output less than 1 V, severely restricting their practical applications. Therefore, there is an urgent requirement for next-generation MEG devices with high efficiency and continuous energy harvesting properties.

Ceramic Nanofiber-Based Water-Induced Electric Generator.

Water-induced electricity generation as an emerging novel sustainable energy harvesting technology has become a hot research topic recently. Here, we develop a ceramic (SiO) nanofiber-based water-induced electric generator via the sol-gel electrospinning technique, followed by calcination, which exhibits superior water-induced electricity generation property with significant softness. This superior performance of the SiO nanofiber-based generator may be attributed to two aspects: the electrokinetic effect generated by water evaporation force and the ion gradient formed between the top and bottom electrodes.

[Research progress on processing history evolution, chemical components and pharmacological effects of Polygonati Rhizoma].

Polygonati Rhizoma(PR), listed as a top-grade medicine, was recorded first in the Mingyi Bielu written by TAO Hongjing. It is a good medicine through the ages to tonify Qi and nourish Yin, strengthen spleen and kidney. PR has a long history of processing and has a variety of processing methods and technologies.

[Corrigendum] Inhibition of sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatase 1 promotes cancer cells migration in gastric cancer: Clinical implications.

We have recently noticed an accidental error in part of a figure which appeared in the above‑mentioned article. In Fig. 3A, the image for the HGC27‑pEF, 15 h panel was mistakenly replicated as the HGC27‑KD, 0 h panel in the same figure, and the AGS‑pEF, 15 h and AGS KD, 0 h panels were mistakenly switched with each other.

Sevoflurane attenuates platelets activation of patients undergoing lung cancer surgery and suppresses platelets-induced invasion of lung cancer cells.

Study Objective: Platelets play a pivotal role in metastasis of tumor cells. The aim of this study is to explore the effects of sevoflurane and isoflurane on platelets activation of patients undergoing lung cancer surgery, and the effects of sevoflurane and isoflurane on platelets-induced invasion of lung cancer cells.

Design: Prospective and randomized study, and in vitro experiment.

Cnidium monnieri: A Review of Traditional Uses, Phytochemical and Ethnopharmacological Properties.

Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cuss., an annual plant of the Umbelliferae species is one of the most widely used traditional herbal medicines and its fruits have been used to treat a variety of diseases in China, Vietnam, and Japan.

Inhibition of sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatase 1 promotes cancer cells migration in gastric cancer: Clinical implications.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) plays an important role in regulating many biological processes. Sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatase 1 (SGPP1) can dephosphorylate S1P into sphingosine and tip the balance of sphingosine-S1P. Increased levels of sphingosine leads to a decrease in the ability of cell invasion as well as an increase in the ability of cell apoptosis.

The effects of combined treatment with sevoflurane and cisplatin on growth and invasion of human adenocarcinoma cell line A549.

Sevoflurane, an inhalational anesthetic, and cisplatin (DDP)-based chemotherapy have been widely used during lung cancer surgery. However, the effect of sevoflurane on the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to DDP chemotherapy remains unclear. In this study, the effects of combined treatment with sevoflurane and cisplatin on the growth and invasion of human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line have been investigated.

Preparation of konjac glucomannan hydrogels as DNA-controlled release matrix.

In this study, hydrogels for DNA-controlled release was prepared with konjac glucomannan (KGM), a water-soluble non-ionic polysaccharide, by means of deacetylated reaction and physically cross-linking method under mild conditions. The properties of the KGM hydrogels were analyzed by FTIR spectra and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The integrality of the released DNA was investigated by circular dichroism (CD).

Preparation of porous chitosan gel beads for copper(II) ion adsorption.

In this paper, chitosan porous beads were prepared by using a phase inversion technique, and then used for the adsorption and removal of copper(II) ions. The porosity, diameter and other characteristics were characterized. With the increase of chitosan and NaOH concentration used to prepare the beads, the amount of adsorbed Cu2+ per gram of the beads decreased.
