Identification of male-fertility gene AsaNRF1 and molecular marker development in cultivated garlic (Allium sativum L.)

Garlic cultivars are predominantly characterized by their sterility and reliance on asexual reproduction, which have traditionally prevented the use of hybrid breeding for cultivar improvement in garlic. Our investigation has revealed a notable exception in the garlic line G398, which demonstrates the ability to produce fertile pollen. Notably, at the

LexA, an SOS response repressor, activates TGase synthesis in Streptomyces mobaraensis

Transglutaminase (EC 2.3.2.13, TGase), an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of covalent cross-links between protein or peptide molecules, plays a critical role in commercial food processing, medicine, and textiles. TGase from Streptomyces is the sole commercial enzyme preparation for cross-linking proteins. In this study, we revealed that

How Light Exposure Plays a Role in Cognition

Can bright light exposure lead to a sharper mind and heightened alertness? Researchers from the University of Liège in Belgium sought out the answer to this.

Placental co-transcriptional activator Vestigial-like 1 (VGLL1) drives tumorigenesis via increasing transcription of proliferation and invasion genes

Vestigial-like 1 (VGLL1) is a co-transcriptional activator that binds to TEA domain-containing transcription factors (TEADs).

An optimized method for IgE-mediated degranulation of human lung mast cells

Background: Mast cells are critically involved in IgE-mediated diseases, e.g., allergies and asthma.

Ferroptosis and hepatocellular carcinoma: The emerging role of lncRNAs

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common form of primary liver cancer and poses a significant challenge to the medical community because of its high mortality rate.

‘Ozempic Face’ — A Troubling Side Effect of Weight Loss Drugs

Prescriptions for weight loss medications have skyrocketed in recent years.

Riemannian transfer learning based on log-Euclidean metric for EEG classification

Brain computer interfaces (BCI), which establish a direct interaction between the brain and the external device bypassing peripheral nerves, is one of the hot research areas.

Key Strategies to Reduce Your Cortisol Levels

Interest in the adverse effects of elevated cortisol levels has been on the rise — a topic I've been dedicated to shedding light on for my readers.

Nanoplastics Linked to Heart Attacks and Stroke

Nanoplastics — particles less than 1 micrometer in size, or 1,000th the average width of a human hair — have emerged as a signiﬁcant environmental concern due to their widespread prevalence and potential health hazards to humans and wildlife alike. These microscopic fragments result from the degradation of larger plastic debris

The Effects of Leptin on Human Cytotrophoblast Invasion are Gestational Age and Dose-Dependent

Leptin and its receptors are expressed by the human placenta throughout gestation, yet the role of leptin in early human placental development is not well characterized.

PpSAUR5 Promotes Plant Growth by Regulating Lignin and Hormone Pathways

Peach (Prunus persica) has a high nutritional and economic value.However, its overgrowth can lead to yield loss.Regulating the growth of peach trees is challenging.

Spinocerebellar Ataxias: from Pathogenesis to Recent Therapeutic Advances

Spinocerebellar ataxia is a phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal dominant-inherited degenerative disorders.
