Lignin, as the abundant carbon polymer, is essential for carbon cycle and biorefinery. Microorganisms interact to form communities for lignin biodegradation, yet it is a challenge to understand such complex interactions. Here, we develop a coastal lignin-degrading bacterial consortium (LD), through "top-down" enrichment.

Dysregulated mRNA translation is pervasive in cancer, in which protein synthesis is elevated to support accelerated cell growth and proliferation. Consequently, targeting the mRNA translation machinery has emerged as a therapeutic strategy to treat cancer.

This article explores an innovative educational approach using a metabolic board designed to enhance understanding of muscle metabolism across three endurance training zones: Z1 (light intensity), Z2 (moderate intensity), and Z3 (intense/severe intensity). The aerobic threshold marks the transition from light to moderate domains, and the anaerobic threshold separates moderate from intense domains, with both thresholds adapting to training. Exercises within each training zone elicit specific adaptive responses through distinct signaling pathways, but the metabolic profile induced remains relatively constant across these intensity domains.

Cerebral organoids pioneered in replicating complex brain tissue architectures in vitro, offering a vast potential for human disease modeling. They enable the in vitro study of human physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms of various neurological diseases and disorders. The trajectory of technological advancements in brain organoid generation and engineering over the past decade indicates that the technology might, in the future, mature into indispensable solutions at the horizon of personalized and regenerative medicine.

The ribs, sternum, and costal margin provide a rigid, but flexible chest wall that functions to provide protection to the vital cardiothoracic organs, while also allowing for varying levels of respiration based on physiologic need. The latter function is accomplished through various muscular attachments and rib articulations with both the axial spine posteriorly and the sternum anteriorly. The accessory muscles of inspiration rely on the downward slope and outward curve of each rib, which when contracted move the ribs upward and outward, in turn forcing the sternum anterior and increasing the thoracic volume.
