Relatively high light inhibits reserves degradation in the rhizome during the leaf expansion by changing the source-sink relationship.

The early spring is a seasonal high-light "window" for new leaf growth and photosynthetic carbon capture by the shade-tolerant evergreen understory plants. However, it remains unclear how light regulates the source-sink relationship between rhizome (RO), mature leaf (ML), and immature leaf (IL) during leaf expansion. Understanding this relationship is essential to reducing RO reserve degradation and ultimately promote RO biomass accumulation.

Comprehensive analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes of three species (, and ): the important medicinal plants in China.

plants (Ranunculaceae) contain high levels of isoquinoline alkaloids and have a long history of medicinal use. species are of great value in pharmaceutical industries and scientific research. Mitochondria are considered as one of the central units for receiving stress signals and arranging immediate responses.

Analysis of the differences in the chemical composition of rice and highland barley .

rice (MR) and highland barley (HBM), the fermented products, are applied in food and medicine to reduce cholesterol and promote digestion. Due to the fermentation substrates, their compositions are different. However, the exact differences have not been reported to date.

Jatrorrhizine: A Review of Sources, Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics and Toxicity.

Immersive Virtual Reality Exergames for Persons Living With Dementia: User-Centered Design Study as a Multistakeholder Team During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background: Advancements in supporting personalized health care and well-being using virtual reality (VR) have created opportunities to use immersive games to support a healthy lifestyle for persons living with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Collaboratively designing exercise video games (exergames) as a multistakeholder team is fundamental to creating games that are attractive, effective, and accessible.

Objective: This research extensively explores the use of human-centered design methods that involve persons living with dementia in long-term care facilitates, exercise professionals, content developers, game designers, and researchers in the creation of VR exergames targeting physical activity promotion for persons living with dementia/MCI.

Integrated metabolomics and ligand fishing approaches to screen the hypoglycemic ingredients from four Coptis medicines.

Rhizoma Coptidis, which is mainly originated from the rhizomes of Coptis chinensis, C. deltoidea, C. omeiensis and C.

Chronobiology --2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Chronobiology is a field of biology that examines the generation of biological rhythms in various creatures and in many parts of body, and their adaptive fitness to solar- and lunar-related periodic phenomena. The synchronization of internal circadian clocks with external timing signals confers accurate phase response and tissue homeostasis. Herein we state a series of studies on circadian rhythms and introduce the brief history of chronobiology.
