Background: Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) is the primarily commercial source of natural rubber in the world. Latex regeneration and duration of latex flow after tapping are the two factors that determine rubber yield of rubber tree, and exhibit a huge variation between rubber tree clones CATAS8-79 and PR107.
Results: To dissect the molecular mechanism for the regulation of latex regeneration and duration of latex flow, we sequenced and comparatively analyzed latex of rubber tree clone CATAS8-79 and PR107 at transriptome level. More than 26 million clean reads were generated in each pool and 51,829 all-unigenes were totally assembled. A total of 6,726 unigenes with differential expression patterns were detected between CATAS8-79 and PR107. Functional analysis showed that genes related to mass of categories were differentially enriched between the two clones. Expression pattern of genes which were involved in latex regeneration and duration of latex flow upon successive tapping was analyzed by quantitative PCR. Several genes related to rubber biosynthesis, cellulose and lignin biosynthesis and rubber particle aggregation were differentially expressed between CATAS8-79 and PR107.
Conclusions: This is the first report about probing latex regeneration and duration of latex flow by comparative transcriptome analysis. Among all the suggested factors, it is more important that the level of endogenous jasmonates, carbohydrate metabolism, hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) and Hevea rubber transferase (HRT) in mevalonate (MVA) parthway for latex regeneration while the level of endogenous ethylene (ETH), lignin content of laticifer cell wall, antioxidants and glucanases for the duration of latex flow. These data will provide new cues for understanding the molecular mechanism for the regulation of latex regeneration and duration of latex flow in rubber tree.

Article Synopsis
- Women with gestational diabetes mellitus are at increased risk for Gestational Diabetes Induced Myopathy (GDiM), leading to muscle atrophy and urinary incontinence.
- The study developed a natural rubber latex (NRL) based biodevice infused with mesenchymal/stromal stem cells (MSCs) to aid in skeletal muscle regeneration.
- The NRL showed promising properties such as biocompatibility, low hemolytic activity, and strong antioxidant activity, indicating its potential as a treatment for GDiM-related muscle issues.
Arterial supply to the adrenal gland in the common marmoset ().

The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has attracted much attention as a nonhuman primate animal model for stress-related experiments. The adrenal gland plays a key role in stress responses and has abundant vasculature, through which the hypothalamic-pituitary axis hormonally controls its activity. Understanding the arterial supply pattern to the gland is fundamental to understanding its function and performing experiments.

Natural rubber latex membrane (NRL) is a biocompatible macromolecule that stimulates angiogenesis and promotes bone repair. Similarly, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is an osteoconductive and osteoinductive bioceramic widely used as a bone substitute. Here, we investigated the combined use of these biomaterials in the guided bone regeneration process for calvarial defects in rats.

Article Synopsis
- A study found that a 1% polyvinyl alcohol biomembrane, infused with 10% latex proteins from the Calotropis procera plant, was effective in promoting wound healing in mice and showed biocompatibility.
- In a trial with 28 leprosy patients, 15 were treated with the biomembrane for 56 days, while others received standard treatments like silver sulfadiazine or hydrocolloid dressings.
- Results indicated that 88% of the ulcers treated with the biomembrane fully healed, compared to only 6% in the control groups, showing it as a beneficial treatment with minimal side effects for leprosy-related ulcers.

Gastrointestinal diseases pose problems to captive common marmosets. Therefore, knowledge of the anatomy of the arterial supply to the gastrointestinal tract is an important prerequisite for implementing appropriate veterinary care. The common marmoset's intestinal tract has a well-developed cecum specialized for the fermentative digestion of tree gums.
