Article Abstract

Zinc bioavailability with the presence of other elements in wheat grains might be affected by fertilizers. A long-term field experiment was conducted to examine effects of N fertilizer on Zn bioavailability in wheat grain tissues, with changes in the concentrations, distribution, and speciation of Zn as well as P and sulfur S via synchrotron-based technology. Results showed that addition of N fertilizer was associated with changes in Zn concentrations and distributions in grain tissues, especially in the crease region and endosperm. Simultaneously, N addition enhanced Zn-S colocalization in the crease region and endosperm and lowered the P/Zn ratio and Zn-P colocalization. Addition of N fertilizer with P increased Zn-cysteine (9.2%) and decreased Zn-phytate (47.3%) in the crease region, leading to potentially higher grain Zn bioavailability. Thus, addition of N fertilizer improved concentrations and bioavailability of Zn, by coordinating the relationships among Zn, P and S within wheat grains.

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) reveals gene expression distributions within tissues. Yet, predicting spatial gene expression from histological images still faces the challenges of limited ST data that lack prior knowledge, and insufficient capturing of inter-slice heterogeneity and intra-slice complexity. To tackle these challenges, we introduce FmH2ST, a foundation model-based method for spatial gene expression prediction.

Zebrafish models have been used to research Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders because of their similarities to the human genetic composition and behavior. Researchers have detected iron accumulation in the post-mortem brain sections of neurodegenerative disorder patients. Therefore, the development an animal model to simulate these clinical pathological findings is important.

Liver cancer is the fourth most deadly cancer worldwide, but existing treatment options are insufficient, thus highlighting the urgent need for new therapeutic agents. Taxanes, known for their anticancer properties, provide a promising avenue for intervention. In this study, a tetracyclic taxane compound with antitumor activity (taxinine) was extracted and isolated from Taxus chinensis (T.

Introduction: Galectin-9 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin that functions as a critical pattern recognition receptor (PRR) in the host immune system, initiating immune defense responses by recognizing and binding to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the surface of microorganisms. In this study, we identified and characterized a novel galectin-9 cDNA, designated CcGal-9, from Yellow River carp ().

Methods: The full-length CcGal-9 cDNA was cloned and sequenced, and its structural features were analyzed.
