Staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) results from the consumption of foods containing sufficient amounts of one or more preformed staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs). SEs are heat stable and can withstand heat at 121 degrees C for 10 min. Therefore, after SEs were produced in food, reheating of food is ineffective in preventing SFP. Among the SEs, SEA appears to be most frequently associated with food poisoning. SEA can be produced at the temperature range of 10-46 degrees C. Many researchers investigated SEA in various foods such as milk, cream, egg and mushroom at some temperatures. As the temperature is raised, SEA concentration was increased. But, because detailed relationships between SEA production and incubation temperature were not examined, we investigated the effect of incubation temperature (10, 15, 20 and 37 degrees C) on SEA productions by using various SEA producing strains of S. aureus. As a result, relationships were found between incubation temperature and SEA production as well as the studies of others. However, little relationship was found between the maximal SEA concentrations at each incubation temperature. SEA production does not necessarily depend on temperature. This result suggests that SEA production is strongly influenced by the intrinsic properties of strains as well as the environmental factors such as temperature and nutrients.

Adenine base editors (ABEs) enable efficient A-to-G base conversions in genomic DNA, serving as powerful tools for basic research and clinical disease treatment. TadA-8e with high processive and compatibility makes ABE8e to be the most widely used adenine base editor and has also facilitated the creation of more elegant base editors based on TadA-8e fusion, such as AYBE and eA&C-BEmax. However, ABE8e has more off-target events including DNA off-target and RNA off-target, which raises safety concerns for precision gene editing.

Primitive emunctory functions to expel harmful substances from cells and the interstitial space of multicellular organisms evolved over the past billion and a half years into the complex physiology of the metanephric kidney. Integrative biology allows empirical testing of hypotheses of the origins of renal structures from homologous single-celled precursors. Emunctory cell complexes called nephridia evolved in metazoan (cnidarian) ancestors 750 million years ago (mya).

Enhancing both structural integrity and nutritional properties is crucial for developing a functional three-dimensional (3D)-printed surimi formulation. Herein, deep-sea salt was used as a substitute for conventional salt to develop 3D-printed surimi. The physicochemical properties, sensory scores, microstructural examinations, chemical bonding analysis, digestion studies, and antioxidant activity of the 3D-printed surimi were systematically evaluated.

The northern South China Sea (SCS) shelf and southern Taiwan Strait (TS) are dynamic marginal seas influenced by both freshwater discharge from the Pearl River and seasonal coastal upwelling. These interacting hydrological forces shape ecological gradients that affect marine planktonic communities. Planktonic foraminiferal assemblages were analyzed from plankton tow and surface sediment samples collected during three cruises (2018, 2020, and 2022) along a ∼1000 km transect extending from the Pearl River estuary to the southern TS.

Cyantraniliprole is a widely used insecticide in rice that could induce cellular damage. However, the mechanism of cyantraniliprole induced cell apoptosis was not clear. The Split-Split-Plot analysis revealed that the expression of apoptosis-related genes was significantly impacted by exposure time, concentration, genotype, and their complex interactions.
