Targeting more than one in nine men before age 70, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men. The increased levels of cyclins, leading to activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), play a critical role in the increased proliferation of prostate cancer cells. In this study, the regulation of the cyclin D1 (CCND1) promoter activity by activator protein-1 (AP-1) and SRY-related HMG-box (SOX) transcription factors has been characterized in PC3 prostate cancer cells.

CesA proteins response to arsenic stress in rice involves structural and regulatory mechanisms, highlighting the role of BES1/BZR1 transcript levels under arsenate exposure and significant downregulation of BZR1 protein expression. Plants interact with several hazardous metalloids during their life cycle through root and soil connection. One such metalloid, is arsenic and its perilous impact on rice cultivation is a well-known threat.

Integrated genome-wide association study and linkage mapping revealed genetic basis of alkalinity tolerance during rice germination. The key gene OsWRKY49 was further verified in transgenic plants. With the widespread use of the rice direct seeding cultivation model, improving the tolerance of rice varieties to salinity-alkalinity at the germination stage has become increasingly important.

Nanometer-thick ultrathin coatings with superior mechanical strength and desirable lubricating and antifouling performance are critical for the miniaturization of implantable medical devices. However, integrating these properties at the nanoscale remains challenging due to the inherent trade-off between mechanical strength and hydration as well as limitations in coating thickness. In this work, we address these challenges by employing dual-function metal coordination to construct a ∼25 nm thick bilayer structure.

We introduce , an antibody variable domain diffusion model based on a general protein backbone diffusion framework, which was extended to handle multiple chains. Assessing the designability and novelty of the structures generated with our model, we find that produces highly designable antibodies that can contain novel binding regions. The backbone dihedral angles of sampled structures show good agreement with a reference antibody distribution.
