Genome-scale acting catabolite-responsive element editing confers LG3145 plant-beneficial functions.

Rhizosphere dwelling microorganism such as spp. are helpful for crop growth. However, these functions are adversely affected by long-term synthetic fertilizer application.

Use of curcumin and its nanopreparations in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a nonspecific inflammatory disease of the intestine that includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Because IBD is difficult to heal and easily relapses, it could worsen patient quality of life and increase economic burdens. Curcumin (CUR) is a bioactive component derived from the rhizome of turmeric (Curcuma longa).

Self-assembled endogenous DNA nanoparticles for auto-release and expression of the eGFP gene in Bacillus subtilis.

The development of DNA delivery techniques is critical to promote the wider use of deoxyribonucleic acids as cellular transporters. The present study aimed to develop a type of DNA nanoparticle (citZ-box) to automatically load and release cargo. The restriction enzyme can cleave citZ-boxes at pro-designed sites, and the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene (eGFP) can be delivered into the B.

Transient bio-inspired gliders with embodied humidity responsive actuators for environmental sensing.

Collecting temporal and spatial high-resolution environmental data can guide studies in environmental sciences to gain insights in ecological processes. The utilization of automated robotic systems to collect these types of data can maximize accuracy, resilience, and deployment rate. Furthermore, it reduces the risk to researchers deploying sensors in inaccessible environments and can significantly increase the cost-effectiveness of such studies.
