Gelatinases are members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) family; they play an important role in the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). This effect is also crucial in the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Its expression, as well as its activity regulation ...

Malnutrition substantially increases susceptibility to Entamoeba histolytica in children. Leptin is a hormone produced by adipocytes that inhibits food intake, influences the immune system, and is suppressed in malnourished children. Therefore we hypothesized that diminished leptin function may incr...

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) with high molecular weights, secreted from microorganisms, play a critical functional role in the aerobic granular sludge (AGS). To investigate the level and function of EPS during the granulation of aerobic sludge and in the mature AGS, a sequencing batch re...

Green indium phosphide (InP)-based quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) still suffer from low efficiency and short operational lifetime, posing a critical challenge to fully cadmium-free QD-LED displays and lighting 1-3 . Unfortunately, the factors that underlie these limitations remain uncle...

The rapid expansion of electric vehicles and mobile electronic devices is the main driver for the improvement of advanced high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The electrochemical performance of LIBs depends on the specific capacity, rate performance and cycle stability of the electrode mat...

This study assessed the influence of substrate type on pollutants removal, antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) fate and bacterial community evolution in up-flow microbial fuel cell constructed wetlands (UCW-MFC) with graphite and Mn ore electrode substrates. Better COD removal and higher bacterial comm...

Individual free fatty acids (FAs) play important roles in metabolic homeostasis, many through engagement with more than 40G protein–coupled receptors. Searching for receptors to sense beneficial omega-3 FAs of fish oil enabled the identification of GPR120, which is involved in a spectrum of metaboli...

The risk for cholera infection is >100 times higher for household contacts of cholera patients during the week after the index patient seeks hospital care than it is for the general population. To initiate a standard of care for this high-risk population, we developed Cholera-Hospital-Based-Interven...

Indigenous Chinese cattle combine taurine and indicine origins and occupy a broad range of different environments. By 50 K SNP genotyping we found a discontinuous distribution of taurine and indicine cattle ancestries with extremes of less than 10% indicine cattle in the north and more than 90% in t...

), which causes the decomposition and collapse of the CoOOH nanoflakes, and thereby the CoOOH nanoflakes are deprived of the oxidase-like property. Based on this principle, the fluorescence and colorimetric dual-mode detection of AA was achieved. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) can make l-ascorbic acid-2...

Importance: Worldwide, preterm birth (PTB) is the single largest cause of deaths in the perinatal and neonatal period and is associated with increased morbidity in young children. The cause of PTB is multifactorial, and the development of generalizable biological models may enable early detection an...

Abstract Vascular repair is considered a key restorative measure to improve long-term outcomes after ischemic stroke. N 6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A), the most prevalent internal modification in eukaryotic mRNAs, functionally mediates vascular repair. However, whether circular RNA SCMH1 (circSCMH1) pro...

Abstract As China expands its development assistance in Southeast Asia, is Chinese aid beginning to emulate international norms and practices or sustaining its own distinct approach to development assistance? This essay argues that China's socialization into international norms varies with the thick...

Abstract The rice landrace Horkuch, endemic to the southern saline coast of Bangladesh, is known to have salt tolerance traits and can therefore contribute to a high yielding recipient for breeding purposes. In this study, we reciprocally crossed Horkuch with high yielding but salt sensitive IR29 to...
