Researchers analyzed leaves for potential anti-cancer treatments, finding they targeted angiogenesis and neuropilins in breast cancer. In-silico analysis confirmed stability of Neuropilin complexes.
This study identified genes and a regulatory model related to color formation in eggplant. The findings enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanism behind different color variations in eggplant.
Scientists studied a wild population of drought-tolerant buckwheat to enhance drought tolerance in cultivated buckwheat. Overexpressing a gene called FlbZIP12 in buckwheat increased drought tolerance and flavonoid contents. This research provides a basis for improving buckwheat's ability to withstand drought.
Scientists sequenced and characterized the mitochondrial genome of L., an important crop. This will enhance evolutionary studies, molecular breeding, and the development of molecular markers for improved agricultural practices.
This study analyzed the polar fraction of fresh and roasted hazelnut kernels and identified various phenolic compounds and polar lipids. The roasted kernels had three times higher lipid content and the most represented lipid classes were lyso-phospholipids and phospholipids. Certain compounds showed strong antioxidant activity and inhibited lipid peroxidation.
Study explores amla phytochemicals as potential inhibitors of Top1 protein in cancer. Aims to find alternative treatment without side effects from acetylcholinesterase inhibition. New medications could reduce irinotecan's side effects.
Hi-C was used to study chromatin structure in Arabidopsis, tomato, maize, and Marchantia polymorpha genomes. Genes form folding domain units and neighboring genes form larger contact domains, with transcription factors binding to accessible regions contributing to gene domains and genome folding in plants.
TCM can influence the gut microbiome to combat osteoporosis. This is because the gut microbiome affects inflammation, hormone levels, nutrient absorption, and bone mass. TCM herbs can regulate the gut microbiome and indirectly impact bone health. Puerarin specifically improves intestinal health and reduces inflammation caused by estrogen deficiency.
