Dysfunction of the tumor suppressor p53 occurs in most human cancers, Hdm2 and HdmX play critical roles in p53 inactivation and degradation. Under unstressed conditions, HdmX binds to p53 like Hdm2, but HdmX cannot directly induce p53 degradation. Moreover, HdmX has been reported to stimulate Hdm2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of p53.

- - Sugar beet is a key global sugar crop, but its yields are negatively impacted by salt stress, highlighting the need for better understanding of its genetic responses.
- - WD40 proteins are crucial for plant growth and reaction to environmental stresses, with 177 WD40 proteins being identified in sugar beet through systematic analysis.
- - A specific gene linked to salt tolerance was found to enhance the plant's resilience by improving osmolyte levels, antioxidant activities, and maintaining ion balance, paving the way for future research and potential biotechnological applications.
rGO-modified indium oxide (InO) anchored PdPbAg nanoalloy composites (PdPbAg@rGO/InO) were prepared by a facile hydrothermal, annealing and reduction method. Electrochemical tests showed that the as-prepared trimetallic catalyst exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity and high resistance to CO poisoning compared with commercial Pd/C, mono-Pd and different bimetallic catalysts. Specifically, PdPbAg@rGO/InO has the highest forward peak current density of 213.
