Rac/Rop proteins, a kind of unique small GTPases in plants, play crucial roles in plant growth and development and in response to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, it is poorly understood whether cotton Rac/Rop protein genes are involved in mediating cotton resistance to Verticillium dahliae. Here, we focused on the function and mechanism of cotton Rac/Rop gene GhRac9 in the defense response to Verticillium dahliae infection.

- ER stress occurs when the endoplasmic reticulum struggles to fold proteins properly due to internal and external factors, leading to potential cell damage and involvement in various kidney diseases.*
- Prolonged ER stress can activate harmful signaling pathways, contributing to conditions like diabetic kidney disease and renal fibrosis, for which there are currently few treatment options.*
- Natural products from traditional Chinese medicine are being studied for their beneficial effects on ER stress, showing promise in protecting kidneys by addressing mechanisms like inflammation and cell death.*
Identification of novel antigens for serum IgG diagnosis of human toxoplasmosis.
Exp Parasitol
September 2019
In the present study, we attempted to identify antigens with high sensitivity and specificity for the serological diagnosis of human toxoplasmosis. We investigated soluble proteins from the tachyzoites of the RH strain of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) and excreted/secreted antigens (ESAs) from the peritoneal protein of T.
