OsCK2 Phosphorylates OsSIZ1 to Regulate Phosphate Starvation Response and Defence Response in Rice
ABSTRACT Phosphorus is a crucial nutrient for the normal growth and development of rice. Enhancing the efficiency of phosphorus acquisition in plants is vital for optimising soil phosphorus utilisation. The SUMO E3 ligase OsSIZ1 is an important factor for regulating plant phosphorus acquisition and starvation response in rice. However, how its activity

Unravelling the Significance of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase in Phosphate Starvation Responses
ABSTRACT Low phosphate availability is a major concern for agriculture. Plants develop a plethora of responses to improve phosphate acquisition, known as phosphate starvation responses (PSR). Among them, the induction of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) has been described in many plants. However, most studies have been conducted in the absence of

Hypothalamic Astrocytes Exhibit Glycolytic Features Making Them Prone for Glucose Sensing
Main Points Hypothalamic astrocytes versus cortical astrocytes: are more glycolytic due to high Pkm2, Glut1 and Mct4 expression do not exhibit glutamate‐induced glycolysis detect glucose concentration variations via an AMPK sensor with altered lactate production.

Proteomic Profiling of Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles for Exploring Ovarian Cancer Biomarkers
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present in body fluids and act as disease biomarkers. Emerging evidence has proven that EVs are released not only from mammalian cells but also from bacteria. Ovarian cancer has a dismal prognosis because of difficulties in early detection.
