Defining indigenous plants: some problematic species from Norfolk Island [PDF]

, 2010
Defining indigenous species may at first appear straight forward; most botanical texts provide similar definitions. The consistent requirement of such definitions is the lack of human intervention in the occurrence of the species within the area under ...

Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Drives Chemoresistance in Pancreatic Cancer via Glutathione‐Mediated Stemness Maintenance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PDAC has a poor prognosis due to chemoresistance. We revealed that MCU upregulation is associated with chemoresistance and stemness in PDAC. MCU‐mediated Ca2+ influx induced ER stress, activating the PERK‐ATF4/NRF2 axis to enhance PSAT1/SLC711 expression and glutathione synthesis, reducing ROS and maintaining stemness.

Acceleration of ovarian degeneration by salinity stress is mediated at multiple levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and the liver in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Aquaculture Reports
The spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) is a coastal fish and that lives in a wide range of salinities. Environmental salinity can affect the reproduction of spotted scat. However, the exact effects of environmental salinity fluctuations on the reproductive

Eimeria species occurrence varies between geographic regions and poultry production systems and may influence parasite genetic diversity [PDF]

, 2017
Coccidiosis is one of the biggest challenges faced by the global poultry industry. Recent studies have highlighted the ubiquitous distribution of all Eimeria species which can cause this disease in chickens, but intriguingly revealed a regional divide in

Fermented Lacticaseibacillus Paracasei Cultures Ameliorate Colitis by Modulating Microbiota‐Derived Tryptophan Metabolism and Macrophage Polarization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A solid‐state fermented probiotic (PYW) is developed using wheat bran as substrate, containing high viable Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and bioactive metabolites. PYW alleviates intestinal inflammation by gut microbiota composition, enriching indole derivatives, activating aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling, and regulating macrophage polarization. PYW

Spleen transcriptome analysis reveals the immune molecular responses to hypohaline or hyperhaline environments in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Aquaculture Reports
Salinity, an important environmental factor, fluctuates frequently and violently in coastal areas, and its dramatic changes tend to have profound effects on the immune function of teleosts.

Pirin Transcriptionally Regulates PLA2G4A To Inhibit Ferroptosis in Colorectal Cancer via Lipid Profile Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies Pirin (PIR), an iron‐binding protein, as a critical ferroptosis suppressor in colorectal cancer through lipid membrane remodeling. PIR, induced by NRF2 during ferroptotic stress, transcriptionally regulates PLA2G4A to shift cellular lipid composition away from ferroptosis‐permissive polyunsaturated phospholipids.
