Shape-dependent cellular toxicity on renal epithelial cells and stone risk of calcium oxalate dihydrate crystals

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Renal epithelial cell injury causes crystal retention and leads to renal stone formation. However, the effects of crystal shape on cell injury and stone risk remain unclear.

Cryptochrome-mediated blue light regulates cell lignification via PbbHLH195 activation of the PbNSC in pear fruits

open access: yesMolecular Horticulture
The presence of stone cells in pear fruit, caused by lignified secondary cell walls (SCWs), leads to a grainy texture in the fruit flesh, thereby compromising its overall quality.

Comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the pear (Pyrus bretschneideri) laccase gene (PbLAC) family and functional identification of PbLAC1 involved in lignin biosynthesis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The content and size of stone cell clusters affects the quality of pear fruit, and monolignol polymerization and deposition in the cell walls constitute a required step for stone cell formation.

Clusterin elaborated by renal tubular epithelial cells under high oxalate stress serves as a matrix protein to facilitate kidney stone formation

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences
Calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stone is prevalent while the molecular mechanisms are not yet fully understood. The organic matrix of stones is rich in protein and has been considered to play a important role in stone aggregation and growth.
