Volatile esters are major aromas contributing to the organoleptic quality of apple fruit. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of volatile ester biosynthesis in apple remain elusive. This study investigated the volatile profiles and transcriptomes of 'Qinguan' (QG) apple fruit during development and/or postharvest storage. Although the constitution of volatiles varied widely between the peel and flesh, the volatile profiles of the peel and flesh of ripening QG fruit were dominated by volatile esters. WGCNA results suggested that 19 genes belonging to ester biosynthesis pathways and 11 hub transcription factor genes potentially participated in the biosynthesis and regulation of esters. To figure out key regulators of ester biosynthesis, correlation network analysis, dual-luciferase assays, and yeast one-hybrid assay were conducted and suggested that MdMYB94 trans-activated the promoter and participated in the regulation of ester biosynthesis. This study provides a framework for understanding ester biosynthesis and regulation in apple.

Background: Low-volume hypertonic solutions, such as half-molar lactate (LAC), may be a potential treatment used for fluid resuscitation. This study aimed to evaluate the underlying cardiovascular effects and mechanisms of LAC infusion compared to sodium-matched hypertonic sodium chloride (SAL).
Methods: Eight healthy male participants were randomized in a controlled, single-blinded, crossover study.

Background: Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is the main bioactive component of poplar type propolis. We previously reported that treatment with caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) suppressed the cell proliferation, tumor growth, as well as migration and invasion of prostate cancer (PCa) cells via inhibition of signaling pathways of AKT, c-Myc, Wnt and EGFR. We also demonstrated that combined treatment of CAPE and docetaxel altered the genes involved in glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.

Genome mining of NBU2194 resulted in the identification of a family of 17-membered macrolides, neptunizhulides A-F. Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis. Stereochemical assignments of the neptunizhulides were determined by -based configuration analysis, ROESY NMR, Mosher's ester derivatization, and bioinformatic predictions.

Direct methane to methanol conversion is a dream reaction in industrial chemistry, which takes inspiration from the biological methanol production catalysed by methane monooxygenase enzymes (MMOs). Over the years, extensive studies have been conducted on this topic by bioengineering the MMOs, and tailoring methods to isolate the MMOs in the active form. Similarly, remarkable achievements have been noted in other methane activation strategies such as the use of heterogeneous catalysts or molecular catalysts.

Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI), as a well-established carcinogen, contributes to tumorigenesis for many human cancers, especially respiratory and digestive tumors. However, the potential function and relevant mechanism of Cr(VI) on the initiation of esophageal carcinogenesis are largely unknown. Here, immortalized human esophageal epithelial cells (HEECs) were induced to be malignantly transformed cells, termed HEEC-Cr(VI) cells, via chronic exposure to Cr(VI), which simulates the progress of esophageal tumorigenesis.
