Fox transcription factor AccGRF1 in response to glyphosate stress in Apis cerana cerana.

Glyphosate is an herbicide commonly used in agriculture, and its widespread use has adversely affected the survival of nontarget organisms. Among these organisms, bees in particular are important pollinators, and declining bee populations have severely affected crop yields around the world. However, the molecular mechanism by which glyphosate harms bees remains unclear.

Profile of Chest Injuries and Oxygen Therapy in Trauma Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure after the Jiangsu Tornado in China: A Retrospective Study.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the profile of chest injuries, oxygen therapy for respiratory failure, and the outcomes of victims after the Jiangsu tornado, which occurred on June 23, 2016 in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, China.

Methods: The clinical records of 144 patients referred to Yancheng City No.1 People's Hospital from June 23 through June 25 were retrospectively investigated.

STRIP2, a member of the striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase complex, is implicated in lung adenocarcinoma cell growth and migration.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) accounts for ~40% of lung cancer cases, and the 5-year relative survival rate is no more than 1%. Dysregulation of components of striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK) complexes is associated with various diseases, including cancer. Striatin-interacting protein 2 (STRIP2), also called Fam40b, has been reported to regulate tumor cell growth and migration.

The phytopathogenic virulent effector protein RipI induces apoptosis in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Virulent protein toxins secreted by the bacterial pathogens can cause cytotoxicity by various molecular mechanisms to combat host cell defense. On the other hand, these proteins can also be used as probes to investigate the defense pathway of host innate immunity. Ralstonia solanacearum, one of the most virulent bacterial phytopathogens, translocates more than 70 effector proteins via type III secretion system during infection.
