Light quality affects diurnal gas exchange but not diurnal deacidification in CAM leaves

Environmental and Experimental Botany
During the light period, crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants remobilise malic acid from the vacuole and decarboxylate it to supply CO2 for Rubisco behind closed stomata.

The Transcription Factor MafB Regulates the Susceptibility of Bactrocera dorsalis to Abamectin via GSTz2

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Pesticide resistance is a serious problem that poses a major challenge to pest control. One of the most potent resistance mechanisms is the overexpression of genes coding for detoxification enzymes.

Water‐Activated Phospholipid Phase‐Separation Gel as an Immunomodulatory Anti‐Adhesion Barrier for Postoperative Adhesion Prevention

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A water‐activated phospholipid phase‐separation gel is repurposed as a drug‐free surgical barrier for postoperative adhesion prevention. Propylene glycol promotes rapid lamellar gel reinforcement, prolonged local retention, and tissue coverage, while phosphatidylcholine‐mediated immunomodulation suppresses inflammatory and fibrotic responses. This dual‐
