Therapeutic Targets of Bufalin on Renal Carcinoma and Mechanisms: Experimental Validation of Network Pharmacology Analysis.
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med
January 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study explored how bufalin affects renal cell carcinoma (RCC) using network pharmacology and experimental methods to identify potential therapeutic targets.
- Research involved analyzing data from PharmMapper and other databases to predict bufalin and RCC-related targets, followed by pathway enrichment analyses with KEGG and GO.
- In vitro experiments confirmed bufalin activates the AKT and MAPK signaling pathways, leading to the identification of 35 intersecting therapeutic targets and various associated biological functions and signaling pathways.
[Establishment of The Crop Growth and Nitrogen Nutrition State Model Using Spectral Parameters Canopy Cover].

January 2016
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates a non-destructive method using digital photo pixels to monitor canopy cover (CC) in maize, assessing its growth and nitrogen nutrition status.
- The research, conducted between 2012 and 2013 at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science, established strong correlations between CC and key growth indicators such as leaf area index (LAI), shoot dry matter (DM), and leaf nitrogen content (N%).
- The developed models demonstrated high accuracy in estimating LAI, DM, and nitrogen content based on CC, suggesting that this technique could be effectively used for real-time monitoring of maize growth and nutrition under varying nitrogen treatments.
Astrocytes play critical roles in neural circuit formation and function. Recent studies have revealed several secreted and contact-mediated signals from astrocytes which are essential for neurite outgrowth and synapse formation. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of dendritic branching by astrocytes remain elusive.
