Cetylpyridinium chloride inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma growth and metastasis through regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition and apoptosis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by a lack of obvious clinical features in the early stages and is likely to progress to advanced HCC. Advanced HCC is a highly malignant tumor. However, there are few treatment options for advanced HCC.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Khawia sinensis belongs among platyhelminths, cestodes.

Khawia sinensis is an important species in freshwater fish causing considerable economic losses to the breeding industry. This is the first mt genome of a caryophyllidean cestode characterised. The entire mt genome of K.

Metabolic and Transcriptional Reprogramming in Developing Soybean (Glycine max) Embryos.

Soybean (Glycine max) seeds are an important source of seed storage compounds, including protein, oil, and sugar used for food, feed, chemical, and biofuel production. We assessed detailed temporal transcriptional and metabolic changes in developing soybean embryos to gain a systems biology view of developmental and metabolic changes and to identify potential targets for metabolic engineering. Two major developmental and metabolic transitions were captured enabling identification of potential metabolic engineering targets specific to seed filling and to desiccation.

Changes in RNA Splicing in Developing Soybean (Glycine max) Embryos.

Developing soybean seeds accumulate oils, proteins, and carbohydrates that are used as oxidizable substrates providing metabolic precursors and energy during seed germination. The accumulation of these storage compounds in developing seeds is highly regulated at multiple levels, including at transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. RNA sequencing was used to provide comprehensive information about transcriptional and post-transcriptional events that take place in developing soybean embryos.
