Agrobacterium tumefaciens-Mediated Genetic Transformation of Narrowleaf Plantain.

Species in the genus Plantago have several unique traits that have led to them being adapted as model plants in various fields of study. However, the lack of a genetic manipulation system prevents in-depth investigation of gene function, limiting the versatility of this genus as a model. Here, a transformation protocol is presented for Plantago lanceolata, the most commonly studied Plantago species.

A gold nanoflower-based traceable drug delivery system for intracellular SERS imaging-guided targeted chemo-phototherapy.

Accurate and effective drug delivery in tumor cells significantly improves the curative effect with high drug delivery efficiency, low toxicity and side effects and has become an urgent demand for anticancer therapy. In this paper, a novel traceable and targeted drug delivery nanosystem (i.e.
