Evaluation of Differentially Expressed Genes in Leaves vs. Roots Subjected to Drought Stress in Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) (2023)

Drought stress is a common environmental challenge that plants face, severely constraining plant growth and reducing crop yield and quality. Several studies have highlighted distinct responses between monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. However, the mechanisms underlying flax tolerance to abiotic stress, such as drought, remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics and the genome-wide gene expression of oil flax and fibe

Hydrolase-Treated Royal Jelly Attenuates H2O2- and Glutamate-Induced SH-SY5Y Cell Damage and Promotes Cognitive Enhancement in a Rat Model of Vascular Dementia (2021)

Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most common type of dementia following Alzheimer's disease, but the therapeutic efficacy is still not effective. This makes the searching for novel neuroprotective agents important. Therefore, we hypothesized that royal jelly, a well-known traditional medicine, could attenuate memory impairment and brain damage in vascular dementia. This study determined the effects of royal jelly hydrolysate (RJH) and possible mechanism of cell damage and cognitive-enhancin

Lipid residues in pottery from the Indus Civilisation in northwest India (2020)

This paper presents novel insights into the archaeology of food in ancient South Asia by using lipid residue analysis to investigate what kinds of foodstuffs were used in ceramic vessels by populations of the Indus Civilisation in northwest India. It examines how vessels were used in urban and rural Indus settlements during the Mature Harappan period (<i>c</i>.2600/2500-1900 BC), the relationship between vessels and the products within them, and identifies whether changes in vessel use occurred

The Antioxidant Selenoprotein T Mimetic, PSELT, Induces Preconditioning-like Myocardial Protection by Relieving Endoplasmic-Reticulum Stress (2022)

Oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) are strictly involved in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R). Selenoprotein T (SELENOT), a vital thioredoxin-like selenoprotein, is crucial for ER homeostasis and cardiomyocyte differentiation and protection, likely acting as a redox-sensing protein during MI/R. Here, we designed a small peptide (PSELT), encompassing the redox site of SELENOT, and investigated whether its pre-conditioning cardioprotective effect resulted from modulating

Snack bars enriched with hempseed products (2025)

Jasmonate activates secondary cell wall biosynthesis through MYC2‐MYB46 module (2023)

Formation of secondary cell wall (SCW) is tightly regulated spatiotemporally by various developmental and environmental signals. Successful fine-tuning of the trade-off between SCW biosynthesis and stress responses requires a better understanding of how plant growth is regulated under environmental stress conditions. However, the current understanding of the interplay between environmental signaling and SCW formation is limited. The lipid-derived plant hormone jasmonate (JA) and its derivatives

Three-Dimensional-Bioprinted Liver Chips and Challenges (2022)

Drug testing, either on animals or on 2D cell cultures, has its limitations due to inaccurate mimicking of human pathophysiology. The liver, as one of the key organs that filters and detoxifies the blood, is susceptible to drug-induced injuries. Integrating 3D bioprinting with microfluidic chips to fabricate organ-on-chip platforms for 3D liver cell cultures with continuous perfusion can offer a more physiologically relevant liver-mimetic platform for screening drugs and studying liver function.

Humanization of the Prostate Microenvironment Reduces Homing of PC3 Prostate Cancer Cells to Human Tissue-Engineered Bone (2018)

The primary tumor microenvironment is inherently important in prostate cancer (PCa) initiation, growth and metastasis. However, most current PCa animal models are based on the injection of cancer cells into the blood circulation and bypass the first steps of the metastatic cascade, hence failing to investigate the influence of the primary tumor microenvironment on PCa metastasis. Here, we investigated the spontaneous metastasis of PC3 human PCa cells from humanized prostate tissue, containing ca
