Unlabelled: is an intracellular parasitic protozoan that poses a significant risk to the fetus carried by a pregnant woman or to immunocompromised individuals. tachyzoites duplicate rapidly in host cells during acute infection through endodyogeny. This highly regulated division process is accompanied by complex gene regulation networks.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFis an intracellular parasite that is important in medicine and veterinary science and undergoes distinct developmental transitions in its intermediate and definitive hosts. The switch between stages of is meticulously regulated by a variety of factors. Previous studies have explored the role of the microrchidia (MORC) protein complex as a transcriptional suppressor of sexual commitment.

Although field observations have demonstrated the strong spatial heterogeneity of Q, a significant knowledge gap still exists regarding to the factors driving spatial and temporal variabilities of Q at regional scales. Therefore, we used a machine learning approach to predict Q from 1994 to 2016 with a spatial resolution of 1 km across China from 515 field observations at 5 cm soil depth using climate, soil and vegetation variables.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFis a widespread intracellular pathogen that infects humans and a variety of animals. Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), an effective anti-malarial drug, has potential anti- activity that induces ferroptosis in tumor cells, but the mechanism by which it kills is not fully understood. In this study, the mechanism of DHA inhibiting growth and its possible drug combinations are described.

Due to the limited effectiveness and prominent side effects of existing drugs, there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic options against . Piceatannol is a natural plant compound with multiple functions such as antibacterial, antileukemic and antiparasitic activities.

Carbon allocation plays an important role in forest carbon cycling and reflects forest adaptation to changing environmental conditions. However, carbon allocation to RA has not been fully examined at the global scale.

Aspergillus japonicus Saito is a common soil-borne fungus, and exists on the surface of some cereal crop seeds. Secalonic acid F (SAF) is the main allelochemical from the fungus. Bioassays showed that SAF significantly stimulated the seedling growth of corn (Zea mays L.
