Minor coarse cereals play an essential role in the agricultural industry and in promoting healthy diet, owing to their strong climate adaptability and nutritional purposes. The present study comprehensively analyzed nutritional value of minor coarse cereals, which surpasses that of staple crops, through multi-omics. Minor coarse cereals possessed higher level of dietary fiber, particularly foxtail millet (37.16 %, which was 0.46 to 2.56-fold higher than staple crops). The crude fat in foxtail millet (5.13 %) and the resistant starch in sorghum (37.79 %) were particularly notable. Additionally, minor coarse cereals had significant advantage in iron content (42.21-47.68 mg/kg) and zinc (28.62-45.02 mg/kg), each with its own strength. Moreover, foxtail millet exhibited a remarkable abundance of phenolic acids. Broomcorn millet stood out with significantly levels of steroids. Sorghum boasted the highest concentrations of tannins, flavonoids, and coumarins. The findings of this study provided scientific evidence for the healthy diets of minor coarse cereals.

Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder with symptoms like regurgitation, dysphagia, anorexia, and chronic cough. Effective treatments include pneumatic dilatation and myotomy. This study evaluated the combined use of botulinum toxin (Botox) injection and esophageal balloon dilation versus balloon dilation alone, analyzing recovery rates for gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal symptoms.

Proteins belonging to the small GTPases family, particularly Rab proteins, are involved in plant root development. The RabG subfamily proteins, in particular, play a role in regulating plant stress responses. This study revealed that the poplar RabG protein PdRabG3f exhibited tissue-specific activity in root epidermis, root hairs, and vascular stele.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a polar aprotic solvent used in a wide range of applications, including uses as a drug and in drug delivery, as a solvent for fluorescent dyes, and in enzymatic reactions that process DNA. Consequently, many assays contain low concentrations (≤10%) of DMSO. While it is well known that DMSO lowers the melting temperature of DNA, its effects on DNA conformations and mechanical properties below the melting temperature are unclear.

Soy protein is widely used in plant-based foods; however, heating often induces large and irregular aggregates that compromise sensory quality. A distinct thermal aggregation behavior was observed in soy β-conglycinin (7S), contributing to soluble aggregates with limited size and minor sensory impacts. In this study, the mechanism of thermal limited aggregation in 7S was revealed by focusing on the effects of its main fractions, N-terminal extension region (ER) and core region (CR).
