Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an aggressive and lethal malignancy with a poor prognosis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and natural products have emerged as key orchestrators of cancer pathogenesis through widespread dysregulation across GBC transcriptomes. Functional studies have revealed that lncRNAs interact with oncoproteins and tumor suppressors to control proliferation, invasion, metastasis

Combining sonochemistry with phytochemistry is a modern trend in the biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles (NPs), which contributes to the sustainability of chemical processes and minimizes hazardous effects. Herein, titanium dioxide (TiO2) NPs were bioengineered using a novel and facile ultrasound-assisted approach utilizing the greenly extracted essential oil of Ocimum basilicum. FTIR and UV

There is a lack of robust research investigating the association between neurocognitive impairments and chronic tobacco smoking in adolescents/young adults. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to examine this association by pooling cross-sectional studies published from 1980 to 2023. The systematic review assessed the neurocognitive performances between chronic tobacco

Domesticated strawberry is susceptible to sudden frost episodes, limiting the productivity of this cash crop in regions where they are grown during early spring. In contrast, the ancestral woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) has successfully colonized many habitats of the Northern Hemisphere. Thus, this species seems to harbour genetic factors promoting cold tolerance. Screening a germplasm

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an economically important crop, but its productivity is often hindered by the soil-borne pathogen Verticillium dahliae. This study aimed to investigate the response of cotton roots to V. dahliae infection by analysing the proteome of Gossypium thurberi (resistant) and Gossypium raimondii (susceptible) at 0 h, 24 h, and 48 h post-infection. Through weighted protein

As an important macro element for all living cells, phosphorus is essential in agricultural production systems and is required in large quantities by elite varieties of crops to maintain yields. Approximately 70% of the worldwide cultivated land suffers from phosphorous deficiency, and it has recently been estimated that the worldwide phosphorous resources will be shattered by the end of this

Direct detection of biotinylated proteins (DiDBiT) is a proteomic method that can enrich and detect newly synthesized proteins (NSPs) labeled with bio-orthogonal amino acids with 20-fold improved detectability compared to conventional methods. However, DiDBiT has currently been used to compare only two conditions per experiment. Here, we present DiDBiT-TMT, a method that can be used to quantify

Although several studies have investigated the effect of either probiotic feed additives or postmortem meat treatment on the quality of obtained chicken meat, the impact of combined treatment with probiotic feed additives along with meat dipping in essential oil nano-emulsion on meat shelf-life is barely examined. There-fore, this study investigated the effect of combined treatment with

【Objective】 The exploration of germplasm and gene resources in rice for high nitrogen efficiency, along with the elucidation of their molecular mechanisms and genetic effects, represents a significant focus and goal within current research efforts on rice nitrogen use efficiency (NUE).【Method】 To identify the variant loci and candidate genes associated with rice NUE, we collected 190 Asian rice

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a grain crop that is an important source of protein, vitamins, carbohydrates and minerals. It is highly sensitive to salt stress, and salt damage to cellular homeostasis and protein folding affects production. Plants have several mechanisms to prevent cellular damages under abiotic stresses, such as proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (protein isulfide somerases
