Objective: To explore the effects of bone marrow stem cell (BMSC)-derived exosome miR-30a/DLL4 expression on angiogenesis following traumatic brain injury (TBI), which may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for postoperative TBI recovery.
Methods: A rat TBI model was established using the free-fall method, and exosomes from different sources were injected into the brain. Rats were divided into sham-operated, TBI model, TBI+inhibitor NC-Exo, TBI+miR-30a-inhibitor-Exo, TBI+OE NC-Exo, and TBI+DLL4-OE-Exo groups.
Invasive plants can change soil microbial communities and therefore promote invasion. While vegetation restoration has been adopted in certain infested lands to curb the invasion of , changes in the composition and function of rhizosphere soil bacterial communities of the species before and after the restoration has not yet been reported. In this study, two vegetation combinations used in previous studies were selected as candidates:++ (T1) and +++ (T2).

The strong adaptability and reproductive potential of grassbur are partly due to a unique germination mechanism whereby twin seeds develop in a single bur: one seed germinates, but the other remains dormant. To investigate the molecular mechanism of seed germination in twin seeds, we used isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) to perform a dynamic proteomic analysis of germination and dormancy.
