Gene duplication and evolution in recurring polyploidization–diploidization cycles in plants

Genome Biology, 2019
Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa, and unravel common principles underlying duplicate gene retention. Results We

Targeted Delivery of Indole‐3‐Pyruvic Acid Suppresses Macrophage Ferroptosis to Enhance CD8+ T Cell‐Mediated Immunotherapy Response in Bladder Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A microbiota‐derived metabolite, indole‐3‐pyruvic acid, suppresses macrophage ferroptosis through the AHR–NF‐κB–SLC7A11 axis. This preserves CD8+ T cell function in bladder cancer. Macrophage‐targeted nanoparticles enhance indole‐3‐pyruvic acid delivery and overcome resistance to PD‐1 blockade.

Identification of S-genotypes and a novel S-RNase in 84 native Chinese pear accessions

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2022
The Chinese pear (Pyrus spp.) exhibits typical gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI), which inhibits self-crossing and promotes out-crossing, similar to other fruit species in the Rosaceae family.

Advancing Fruit Bioimpedance Monitoring With Sustainable, Soft, And Bio‐Based Electrodes Beyond ECG

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Electrical impedance spectroscopy enables non‐destructive fruit quality monitoring, but conventional ECG and needle electrodes compromise signal stability, fruit physiology, and sustainability. This perspective highlights the transition toward soft, biocompatible, and biodegradable electrode interfaces based on natural substrates, bio‐derived ...

Extreme Weather Events and Consumer Food Responses

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer food responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which affected a swath of the Southeastern U.S. in 2024. Using representative consumer survey data from six affected states, we analyze 10 distinct food responses classified into ex ante and ex post responses, and examine their associations with food insufficiency

Beneficial Body Mass Index for Age‐Related Kidney Function in Males and Females

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
The impact of BMI on age‐related kidney function decline is highly sex‐ and age‐dependent. Normal BMI (18.5–25 kg/m2) is associated with better age‐related kidney function in all‐aged males and females older than 45 years. ABSTRACT Objectives Kidney function declines with aging, leading to a high prevalence of age‐related disease.

Genome-wide identification of lysin motif containing protein family genes in eight rosaceae species, and expression analysis in response to pathogenic fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea in Chinese white pear

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Lysin motif-containing proteins (LYP), which act as pattern-recognition receptors, play central roles in growth, node formation, and responses to biotic stresses. The sequence of Chinese white pear genome (cv.

How small changes to methylated piperidinium cations impact the synthesis of zeolite SSZ‐39

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Here we report a synthesis study of SSZ‐39 with four different organic structure directing agents (OSDA). The goal was to determine how subtle changes to the OSDA architecture impact crystallization kinetics, material composition, and other properties.
