When plants are wounded, a long-distance signal is produced that activates the wound response in unwounded leaves. Recent work by Gregg Howe's group suggests that jasmonic acid is the long-distance wound signal. Previously, many data indicated that the signaling peptide systemin might function as the systemic wound signal. According to the new data, systemin is crucial for the production of the systemic wound signal in the wounded leaf, but might not travel long distances.

It is crucial to investigate new anti-diabetic agents and therapeutic approaches targeting molecules in potential signaling pathways for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The objective of the study was to investigate the total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, α-glucosidase, and α-amylase inhibitory activities of Bolanthus turcicus (B. turcicus), as well as their cytotoxic, anti-adipogenic, anti-diabetic, apoptotic, and anti-migration potential on adipocytes.

Unlabelled: Gastric cancer is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates and seriously threatens human life. Our research aimed to explore the effects of poly (A) binding protein cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1) on gastric cancer cells and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: PABPC1 levels in gastric cancer cell lines were assessed by western blotting and RT-qPCR.

Wearable technology has advanced significantly, offering real-time monitoring of athletes' physiological parameters and optimizing training and recovery strategies. Recent developments focus on biosensor devices capable of monitoring biochemical parameters in addition to physiological ones. These devices employ noninvasive methods such as sweat analysis, which reveals critical biomarkers like glucose, lactate, electrolytes, pH, and cortisol.

Unlabelled: The bacterium is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause lung, skin, wound, joint, urinary tract, and eye infections. While is known to exhibit a robust competitive response toward other bacterial species, this bacterium is frequently identified in polymicrobial infections where multiple species survive. For example, in prosthetic joint infections, can be identified along with other pathogenic bacteria including , , and .

Rhein is a natural anthraquinone substance extracted from L. This study aimed to evaluate Rhein's protective effects against skin wound by and models and investigate whether its protective mechanism regulated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. The skin wound mice model was established and then treated with Rhein for 10 days.
