is a significant agricultural pest that migrates annually based on the growth stages of its host plants. However, the role of host plant growth stages in the residency or migration of remains unclear. We allowed to feed on maize leaves and seeds, and results showed that maize seeds had higher amino acids, carbohydrates, and triglyceride (TG). that fed on seeds had longer adult stages; larger wings; higher TG, juvenile hormone II (JH II), and JH III; and more developed flight muscles, indicating tendencies toward migration. Interestingly, maize leaves were richer in sterols. that fed on leaves exhibited longer larval stages, higher 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and JH I, faster egg maturation, and earlier oviposition, suggesting tendencies toward residency. These findings suggest that the nutritional composition of host plants influences for migration or reproduction, offering new insights into its invasion and establishment patterns.

Background: We investigated circulating protein profiles and molecular pathways among various chronic kidney disease (CKD) etiologies to study its underlying molecular heterogeneity.
Methods: We conducted a proteomic biomarker analysis in the DAPA-CKD trial recruiting adults with and without type 2 diabetes with an eGFR of 25 to 75 mL/min/1.73m2 and a UACR of 200 to 5000 mg/g.

The -hydroxyphenyl (H) unit is an aromatic structure found in lignin, particularly abundant in compression wood and grass, and is derived from the incorporation of -coumaryl alcohol (-CMA). Although the structural and biosynthetic aspects of lignin have been extensively studied, the polymerization reactivity of H-unit during lignification remains poorly understood. In this study, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed homo- and co-oxidative coupling reactions (initial stage of enzymatic dehydrogenative polymerization) with -CMA and/or coniferyl alcohol (CA) were performed to investigate monolignol consumption, dilignol formation, and their potential involvement in subsequent polymerization.

With the progress of study, MoS has been proven to show excellent properties in electronics and optoelectronics, which promotes the fabrication of future novel integrated circuits and photodetectors. However, highly uniform wafer-scale growth is still in its early stage, especially regarding how to control the precursor and its distribution. Herein, we propose a new method, spraying the Mo precursor, which is proven to fabricate highly uniform 2-inch monolayer MoS wafers.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis. In this multicenter study, our goal is to identify functional biomarkers that stratify the risk of HCC in patients with cirrhosis (CP) for early diagnosis.
Methods: Five thousand and eight serum proteins (Somascan) were analysed in Cohort A (477 CP, including 125 HCC).

Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer mortality globally, often presenting with insidious symptoms that lead to late-stage diagnoses, underscoring the critical need for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. One such avenue is the exploration of ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death implicated in various pathological conditions and malignancies. In this study, we demonstrate that brucine, an alkaloid derived from Strychnos nux-vomica, exerts significant antitumor effects on GC cells both in vitro and in vivo.
