Transcriptional regulation allows cells to execute developmental programs, maintain homeostasis, and respond to intra- and extracellular signals. Central to these processes are promoters, which in eukaryotes are sequences upstream of genes that bind transcription factors (TFs) and which recruit RNA polymerase to initiate mRNA synthesis. Valuable tools for studying promoters include reporter genes, which can be used to indicate when and where genes are activated.

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a redox-sensitive transcriptional factor that enables cells to resist oxidant responses, ferroptosis and inflammation. Here, we set out to probe the effects of NRF2 on cardiomyocyte injury under acute myocardial infarction (AMI) condition and its potential mechanism. Human cardiomyocytes were exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) to induce cell injury.

A total of 640 one-day-old Cobb 500 MV × Cobb 500 FF mixed broilers were randomly assigned to one of four experimental treatments with four replicates per treatment and 40 birds per replicate for 32 days. The treatments consisted of a basal diet (control group), basal diet + 0.02% zinc bacitracin (AGP group), basal diet + 0.

Telomeres are crucial for cancer progression. Immune signalling in the tumour microenvironment has been shown to be very important in cancer prognosis. However, the mechanisms by which telomeres might affect tumour immune response remain poorly understood.

Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are essential virulence factors in phytopathogens, particularly the extensively studied members from the CBM50 gene family, which are known as lysin motif (LysM) effectors and which play crucial roles in plant-pathogen interactions. However, the function of CBM50 in has yet to be fully studied. In this study, we identified seven CBM50 genes from the genome through complete sequence analysis and functional annotation.
