Currently, industrial production of l-threonine (Thr) is based on direct fermentation with microorganisms such as , which has the characteristics of low cost and high productivity. In order to elucidate the key metabolic features of the synthesis pathway of Thr in to provide clues for metabolic regulation or engineering of the strain, this study was carried out on an l-threonine over-producing strain, in terms of analyses of metabolic flux, enzyme control and metabonomics. Since environmental disturbance and genetic modification are considered to be two important methods of metabolic analysis, addition of phosphate in the media and comparison of strains with different genotypes were selected as the two candidates due to their significant influence in the biosynthesis of Thr. Some important targets including key nodes, enzymes and biomarkers were identified, which may provide target sites for rational design through engineering the Thrproducing strain. Finally, metabolic regulation aimed at one biomarker identified in this study was set as an example, which confirms that combined metabolic analyses may guide to improve the production of threonine in .

Background: The high-frequency induction rate of haploid is crucial for double haploid (DH) breeding. The combination of multiple haploid-induced genes, such as ZmPLA1/MATL/NLD and ZmDMP, can synergistically enhance the haploid induction rate (HIR) in maize. However, the potential synergistic effects between OsMATL and OsDMP genes in rice remain unclear.

Background: With the rising diagnostic rate of gallbladder polypoid lesions (GPLs), differentiating benign cholesterol polyps from gallbladder adenomas with a higher preoperative malignancy risk is crucial. This study aimed to establish a preoperative prediction model capable of accurately distinguishing between gallbladder adenomas and cholesterol polyps using machine learning algorithms.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analysed the patients' clinical baseline data, serological indicators, and ultrasound imaging data.

Background: Neuroblastoma, a prevalent extracranial solid tumor in pediatric patients, demonstrates significant clinical heterogeneity, ranging from spontaneous regression to aggressive metastatic disease. Despite advances in treatment, high-risk neuroblastoma remains associated with poor survival. SLC1A5, a key glutamine transporter, plays a dual role in promoting tumor growth and immune modulation.

Background: Shake flasks are essential tools in biotechnological development due to their cost efficiency and ease of use. However, a significant challenge is the miniaturization of process analytical tools to maximize information output from each cultivation. This study aimed to develop a respiration activity online measurement system via off-gas analysis, named "Transfer rate Online Measurement" (TOM), for determining the oxygen transfer rate (OTR), carbon dioxide transfer rate (CTR), and the respiration quotient (RQ) in surface-aerated bioreactors, primarily targeting shake flasks.

Background: Tuberculosis remains an infectious disease of global concern, with potential impacts on respiratory and intestinal microbiota owing to prolonged broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. Despite its potential to cause infertility, the vaginal microbiota of women with genital tuberculosis remains poorly understood. We comprehensively analyzed the vaginal microbiota in Chinese women with genital tuberculosis.
