The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation
This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...

We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco
ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

TaRIP2 Positively Regulates Wheat Pollen Wall Formation Through MYB80‐Controlled Lipid Metabolism
ABSTRACT Male‐sterile genes and mutants are critical for hybrid seed production in monocotyledonous crops. Lipids are essential structural components of male reproductive organs, such as the anther and pollen. Here, we show that the pollen‐preferential gene TaRIP2 is essential for wheat anther development and pollen formation. RT‐qPCR analysis revealed

Interactions of Mucus Monosaccharides and the Epidermal Microbiome in Four Benthic Elasmobranchs
Here we collected mucus and microbes from the skin of Elasmobranchs to identify interactions between mucus and the microbial community. We identified key microbial genes involved in the metabolism of mucus carbohydrates in Elasmobranchs. ABSTRACT Epidermal mucus is a complicated mixture of macromolecules which acts as the first line of defence for ...

A metal halide perovskite‐based photoanode integrated with a CoNiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) cocatalyst is reported for selective glucose oxidation reaction (GOR), achieving simultaneous and unassisted photoelectrochemical hydrogen production. This system delivers high photocurrent density, excellent Faradaic efficiency of GOR, and strong techno ...

Interpreting Microbiome Signatures with MicrobiomeNet
Abstract MicrobiomeNet (https://microbiomenet.com) is a web‐based platform developed to provide functional insights into microbiome signatures using genome‐scale metabolic models (GEMs). It currently hosts 12,400 GEMs and around 6 million microbial signatures.

ABSTRACT Resistance exercise augments circulating extracellular vesicle (EV) and metabolite signalling in manners that assist musculoskeletal and systemic adaptations. Women are often underrepresented in exercise research and recent attention has focused on whether hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle and use of hormonal contraception (HC ...

Electrocatalytic Reduction and Oxidation Conversion of Plant Biomass
This review therefore establishes a unified “compound–catalyst–conversion” paradigm, systematically categorizing and analyzing electrocatalytic oxidation and reduction pathways for the three major classes of plant‐derived components—aromatics, aliphatics, and terpenoids—to provide a clear navigational map for the field.

Abstract Aims Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are among the leading global health challenges of the 21st century. While caloric restriction remains the cornerstone of weight loss interventions, ketogenic diets (KD), characterised by low carbohydrate and high fat intake, have been shown to improve metabolic health partly by modulating the ...
