Open AccessThe crosstalk between endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells aggravates high phosphorus-induced arterial calcification
Arterial calcification is highly prevalent, particularly in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is the critical process for the ...

Dietary Selenium Deficiency Facilitated Reduced Stomatin and Phosphatidylserine Externalization, Increasing Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility in Mice
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that maintains normal physiological functions in organisms. Since the discovery of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), public interest in selenoproteins has gradually i...

Comparative proteomic study on fem-1b in female and male gonads in Hyriopsis cumingii
Sex regulation of bivalves is a complex process, and there has also been little research on their sex-determining genes. To better understand the sex determination/differentiation of bivalves, we analyzed the ...

Open AccessGenomic identification and characterization of MYC family genes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
MYC transcriptional factors are members of the bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) superfamily, and play important roles in plant growth and development. Recent studies have revealed that some MYCs are involved in the ...

Role of the Group 2 Mrp sodium/proton antiporter in rapid response to high alkaline shock in the alkaline- and salt-tolerant Dietzia sp. DQ12-45-1b
The six- and seven-subunit Na+/H+ antiporters (Mrp) are widely distributed in bacteria. They are reported to be integral for pH homeostasis in alkaliphilic bacteria when adapting to high pH environments. In this ...

Open AccessMitochondrial matR sequences help to resolve deep phylogenetic relationships in rosids
Rosids are a major clade in the angiosperms containing 13 orders and about one-third of angiosperm species. Recent molecular analyses recognized two major groups (i.e., fabids with seven orders and malvids wit...
