Plant transient expression using virus-based vectors is advantageous when high level of gene expression is desired within a short time. In this study, a new system, named "air-brush," has been developed to facilitate a scale-up production of recombinant proteins in plants. GFP was expressed successfully in (Nb) plants by air-brushing an suspension that contained the TMV-based vector p35S-30B-GFP. Key factors influencing the gene expression were optimized, including the cell density, seedling age, and the growth temperature of plant materials. In addition, the pharmaceutical protein human acidic fibroblast growth factor (ha FGF) was also expressed in Nb plants by the air-brush system. The results demonstrated that using this system is highly advantageous; it is convenient, quick, easily scaled-up, and has a higher expression efficiency than leaf infiltration.

Objective: Using rabbit models, this study simulated the laryngopharynx's response to the synergistic effects of various acidic reflux environments and pepsin to investigate the response mechanism underlying weak acid reflux and pepsin in the mucosal barrier injury of laryngopharyngeal reflux.
Methods: The rabbits were divided into six groups, and the original larynx was recorded for each group. During the study period, rabbits were sprayed with different doses of acid and pepsin solutions and monitored for hypopharyngeal mucosal transient impedance before and after modeling.

The sense of hearing originates in the cochlea, which detects sounds across dynamic sensory environments. Like other peripheral organs, the cochlea is subjected to environmental insults, including loud, damage-inducing sounds. In response to internal and external stimuli, the central nervous system directly modulates cochlear function through olivocochlear neurons (OCNs), which are located in the brainstem and innervate the cochlear sensory epithelium.

Calcium (Ca)-dependent signalling plays a well-characterised role in the perception and response mechanisms to environmental stimuli in plant cells. In the context of a constantly changing environment, it is fundamental to understand how crop yield and microalgal biomass productivity are affected by external factors. Ca signalling is known to be important in different physiological processes in microalgae but many of these signal transduction pathways still need to be characterised.
