... Existing evidence suggests diet and chronic inflammation as risk factors in ovarian cancer (OC) development. We aim to conduct a meta-analysis exploring possible associations between dietary inflammatory potential and OC. A systematic search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and PMC databases for studies reporting relationships between dietary inflammatory potential and OC risk publish ...

Abstract:
... Wheat stem rust has reemerged as a serious disease caused by new variants of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici. Variants with significant virulence and broad geographic distribution (Africa, Central Asia, and Europe) include the Ug99 race group, race TTRTF, and TKTTF race group. Genetic analysis has placed isolates representing these critical new virulent races into 12 genetic groups that make up c ...
... Legumes, unlike most land plants, can form symbiotic root nodules with nitrogen‐fixing bacteria to secure nitrogen for growth. The formation of nitrogen‐fixing nodules on legume roots requires the coordination of rhizobial infection at the root epidermis with cell division in the cortex. The nodules house the nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia in organelle‐like structures known as symbiosomes, which enable ...
... Acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) functions as a hub linking lipid metabolism with in cellular physiologies by producing active intermediate of catalyzes acyl-CoA. However, the biological roles of ACS are largely unknown in filamentous fungi. In this study, an ortholog of yeast Faa1, named BbFaa1, was functionally characterized in the filamentous entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. BbFaa1 was asso ...

Objective: To assess the causal relationship between cheese intake, and cardiovascular diseases and cardiovascular biomarkers. Methods: A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis based on publicly available genome-wide ass ...
... KEY MESSAGE: Comparative sequence analysis was used to design a SNP marker that aided in the identification of new sources of oat stem rust resistance. New races of Puccinia graminis f. sp. avenae (Pga) threaten global oat production. An A. strigosa accession known to carry the broadly effective oat stem rust resistance gene, Pg6, was crossed with two susceptible A. strigosa accessions to generate ...

Abstract:
... Obesity is currently one of the most important challenges to public health worldwide. Acupuncture has been widely used to treat obesity. However, whether acupuncture regulates intestinal innate immunity via intestinal microbiota against obesity remains to be elucidated. In this study, electroacupuncture (EA) effectively reduced body weight and fat accumulation in obese mice persistently fed a high ...
... BACKGROUND: P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated steroid resistance (SR) has been suggested to play a significant role in lupus nephritis (LN) treatment failure. Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS), the main effective components of the traditional Chinese medicine notoginseng, exhibited potent reversal capability of P-gp-mediated SR, but its mechanism remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the ef ...
... Common in fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) domain is unique in fungal proteins and some of which contribute to iron acquisition in yeast. However, their roles in iron acquisition remain largely unknown in filamentous fungi. In this study, 12 CFEM‐containing proteins were bioinformatically identified in the filamentous entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, and the roles of 11 genes were g ...

Abstract:
... We report a phosphine-directed ruthenium-catalyzed C8-selective alkylation of naphthalenes with alkenes. This protocol provides straightforward access to a large library of electron-rich C8-alkyl substituent 1-naphthphosphines, which outperformed common commercial phosphines and their precursors in the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of aryl bromides with alkylboronic acid. ...

Abstract:
... Uroteuthis chinensis and Uroteuthis edulis are morphologically similar squids and commercially important for Indo-Pacific Ocean fisheries. Hence, species identification is vital for them because of their similarity. In order to distinguish the two species, two methods (teeth shape of arm sucker ring and DNA sequence) were adopted. In the study, 341 individuals (210 U. chinensis and 131 U. edulis) ...

... Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, is a re‐emerging disease, posing a threat to wheat production. In Spain, stem rust has been rarely detected since the 1970s, but infection was observed in wheat fields in 2018. We analysed six stem rust samples collected in Rota, Cádiz province and one from Monteagudo del Castillo, Teruel province. All the samples from Rota were typed as ...

Abstract:
... It is vital to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the efficiency of the green economy and draw parallels alongside emissions cuts, to attain the goal of sustainable green economic advancement. In this vein, this research examined the impact of expenditure from the state on the performance of the green economy of varied nations under the industrialized and emerging projects. The study makes use ...
... A mutant of the ridgetail white prawn, which exhibited rare orange-red body color with a higher level of free astaxanthin (ASTX) concentration than that in the wild-type prawn, was obtained in our lab. In order to understand the underlying mechanism for the existence of a high level of free astaxanthin, transcriptome analysis was performed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) betw ...

Abstract:
... Centromere proteins (CENPs) are nuclear proteins that are involved in centromere formation and chromosome segregation during mitosis. Some members of CENPs have been extensively studied in the initiation and development of cancers. However, the expression patterns and exact roles of CENPs in ovarian cancer (OC) have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we comprehensively assessed the genetic ...

... Hard winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop in semi‐arid western Kansas. The objective of this research was to develop a hard red winter wheat cultivar for western Kansas with high grain yield potential, good baking quality, and resistance to the important diseases in this region, including Wheat streak mosaic virus, Barley yellow dwarf virus, stripe rust, leaf rust, stem rust, and He ...
... Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, is a re‐emerging disease, posing a significant threat to durum wheat production worldwide. The limited number of stem rust resistance genes in modern cultivars compels us to identify and incorporate new effective genes in durum wheat breeding programs. We evaluated 8,245 spring durum wheat accessions deposited at the USDA National Small ...
... Egg yolks are a good source of folates. However, the method for analyzing the naturally occurring folates in egg yolks is complicated and time-consuming. In this study, a simplified pre-treatment method followed by validated HPLC–MS/MS was developed to determine native folates in eggs from laying hens treated with different amounts of folic acid. The modified enhanced matrix removal –lipid method ...
