Determination via an Integration Strategy of the Potential Dermal ECM Reconstruction Mechanism by Which the WAW Formula Alleviates Skin Aging. [PDF]

J Cosmet Dermatol
ABSTRACT Background Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treats skin conditions and delays aging using specific formulas. TCM links skin health to internal organ functions: kidney qi deficiency accelerates aging, whereas spleen deficiency leads to dry, loose skin from insufficient qi and blood. The renowned spleen‐tonifying and kidney‐nourishing formula “

Insights into epigenetics suggest a role of DNA methylation in regulating Chinese yam tuber shape [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Plant organ shape is an important trait in terms of economic efficiency in agriculture. The club-like or spindle-shaped underground tubers of Chinese yam (Dioscorea polystachya Turcz.) impede mechanical harvest resulting in unprofitable ...

Leaf physiological and transcriptomic analyses provide insights into the regulatory network underlying high yield in yam under directional cultivation [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Traditional cultivation of yam (Dioscorea polystachya Turcz.), a globally important tuber crop, is notoriously labor-intensive and inefficient. Directional cultivation (DC) is an innovative agronomic practice that utilizes physical constraints

Comparative Study of the Physicochemical, Functional, Thermal, and Rheological Properties of Pretreated Flours From Dioscorea alata and Dioscorea rotundata [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Pretreatments help improve flour quality. The increase in solubility and dispersibility is greater in D. rotundata. D. alata flours are more resistant to shear than D. rotundata flours. All flours degrade after 200°C. D. alata flours are more elastic while D. rotundata flours are more viscous.
