MNQ derivative D(21) protects against LPS-induced inflammatory damage in bovine ovarian follicular GCs in vitro via the steroid biosynthesis signaling pathway.

Bacterial infections in cows cause inflammation in their reproductive systems. The compound D from Impatiens balsamina L has stronger anti-inflammatory effects than MNQ, protecting the cow's cells. The compound D acts through the steroid biosynthesis signaling pathway.

Mendel-200: Pea as a model system to analyze hormone-mediated stem elongation.

Researchers propose reviving Gregor Mendel's pea plants as a model organism to study cell and organ growth. They found that injecting glucose or using gibberellic acid (GA) enhanced growth. This study provides valuable protocols for investigating the role of gibberellins and auxin in plant development.
