Article Synopsis
- Plant pollen tubes and root hairs exhibit polarized tip growth, which is heavily influenced by calcium ions (Ca2+), with CBL proteins interacting with CIPKs to regulate this process.
- The study identified CIPK13 and CIPK18 as key genes in root hairs, showing that mutants lacking these genes displayed shorter root hairs and reduced calcium signaling.
- It concluded that CBL2/3 and CIPK13/18 form a calcium-decoding module crucial for root hair growth, highlighting that different CIPKs are recruited by the same CBLs in various plant cells.
Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm called PCINet for identifying precipitation clouds using satellite data, improving accuracy in both day and night.
- It utilizes high-quality data from the Fengyun-4A satellite and incorporates a multi-scale structure and skip connections to enhance cloud identification.
- Results show PCINet outperformed five other deep learning models in both qualitative and quantitative analyses, particularly benefiting from visible/near-infrared spectral data during the daytime.
It is well known that crop monoculture can induce negative effects on soil ecosystems and crop productivity. However, little is known about how vegetable monoculture affects the soil nematode community structure and its relationship with vegetable yields. In this study, the composition, abundance, metabolic footprint, and ecological indices of soil nematodes are investigated in monocultures of pumpkin and melon.

However, there is no research to establish a ferroptosis-related lncRNAs (FRlncRNAs) signature for the patients with HCC. Therefore, this study was designed to establish a novel FRlncRNAs signature to predict the survival of patients with HCC.

Here, we developed an HPV16 E7 peptide and CpG ODN vaccine delivered using liposomes modified with DC-targeting mannose, Lip E7/CpG, and determined its anti-tumor effects and influence on systemic immune responses and the tumor microenvironment (TME) in a mouse large TC-1 grafted tumor model.
Methods: L-alpha-phosphatidyl choline (SPC), cholesterol (CHOL), 1,2-distearoyl--glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy (polyethylene glycol-2000)] (DSPE-PEG-2000), 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane chloride salt (DOTAP) and Mannose-PEG-DSPE, loaded with HPV16 E7 peptide and CpG ODN, were used to construct the Lip E7/CpG vaccine.
