Article Synopsis
- Sulphur limitation 1 (SLIM1) regulates sulphur assimilation in Arabidopsis, but its monocot equivalent, PvEIL3a from switchgrass, is less understood.
- Introducing PvEIL3a into Arabidopsis slim1 mutants enhanced sulphur-responsive gene expression but resulted in shorter roots and delayed growth.
- The study reveals PvEIL3a's role in regulating sulphur assimilation and secondary metabolite biosynthesis, highlighting differences in the EIL gene family's functions between monocot and dicot plants.
Article Synopsis
- The hygiene hypothesis may explain rising allergies and atopy, prompting a study on Meishan pigs raised in different environments.
- Researchers found significant cytokine level differences between pigs in normal captivity and those free-ranging in arch soil, indicating varied immune responses.
- Detailed analysis revealed over a thousand differentially expressed genes and metabolites linked to immune function, suggesting that these factors could help illuminate the immunological aspects of the hygiene hypothesis.
Supramolecular elastomer based on polydimethylsiloxanes (SESi) is a kind of novel elastomer cross-linked by the multihydrogen bonds supplied by the functional groups linked to the end of the PDMS chains, such as amide, imidazolidone, pending urea (1,1-dialkyl urea), and bridging urea (1,3-dialkyl urea). SESi showed lower glass transition temperature (T g) at about -113 °C because of the softer chain of PDMS, and could show real rubber-like elastic behaviors and acceptable water vapor transmission rate under room temperature. The high biocompatibility of SESi in the form of films was demonstrated by the cytotoxicity evaluation (MTT cytotoxicity assay and direct contact assay), hemolysis assay, and skin irritation evaluation.
