TGF-β induces assembly of a Smad2–Smurf2 ubiquitin ligase complex that targets SnoN for degradation
The receptor-regulated Smad proteins are essential intracellular mediators of signal transduction by the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of growth factors and are also important as regulators ...

Novel mechanism for boring non-cylinder piston pinhole based on giant magnetostrictive materials
To bear more loads for heavy truck pistons, the shape of heavy truck piston pinhole is often designed as non-cylinder form. Current methods cannot meet the needs for precision machining on non-cylinder piston ...

A novel strategy for development of glucocorticoids through non-genomic mechanism
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are routinely believed to take effect through genomic mechanisms, which are also largely responsible for GCs’ side effects. Beneficial non-genomic effects of GCs have been reported as bei...

Open AccessDraft genome sequence of the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis
Hevea brasiliensis, a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, is the major commercial source of natural rubber (NR). NR is a latex polymer with high elasticity, flexibility, and resilience that has played a critical ...

Open AccessALDH2 protects against stroke by clearing 4-HNE
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that metabolizes ethanol and toxic aldehydes such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE). Using an unbiased proteomic search, we identified ALDH2 deficiency i...

Open AccessThe novel long intergenic noncoding RNA UCC promotes colorectal cancer progression by sponging miR-143
The human genome contains thousands of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs). However, the functional roles of these transcripts and the mechanisms responsible for their deregulation in colorectal cancer (...

Optimal inspection and replacement strategy for systems subject to two types of failures with adjustable inspection intervals
The inspection activities are often carried out to detect possible indication of failures in plant systems. This paper considers a single unit system subject to two types of failures, where one failure mode is...

Photoperiodism dynamics during the domestication and improvement of soybean
Soybean (Glycine max) is a facultative short-day plant with a sensitive photoperiod perception and reaction system, which allows it to adjust its physiological state and gene regulatory networks to seasonal and d...

Open AccessTACC3 transcriptionally upregulates E2F1 to promote cell growth and confer sensitivity to cisplatin in bladder cancer
Accumulating evidence has shown that transforming acidic coiled-coil 3 (TACC3) is deregulated in a broad spectrum of cancers. In the present study, we reported that TACC3 was markedly elevated in bladder cance...

Open AccessPseudogene RACGAP1P activates RACGAP1/Rho/ERK signalling axis as a competing endogenous RNA to promote hepatocellular carcinoma early recurrence
Accumulating evidence has indicated crucial roles for pseudogenes in human cancers. However, the roles played by pseudogenes in the pathogenesis of HCC, particularly HCC early recurrence, still incompletely el...

Open AccessRUNX1 contributes to the mesenchymal subtype of glioblastoma in a TGFβ pathway-dependent manner
Runt-Related Transcription Factor 1 (RUNX1) is highly expressed in the Mesenchymal (Mes) subtype of glioblastoma (GBM). However, the specific molecular mechanism of RUNX1 in Mes GBM remains largely elusive. In...

Open AccessVagus nerve stimulation optimized cardiomyocyte phenotype, sarcomere organization and energy metabolism in infarcted heart through FoxO3A-VEGF signaling
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) restores autonomic balance, suppresses inflammation action and minimizes cardiomyocyte injury. However, little knowledge is known about the VNS’ role in cardiomyocyte phenotype, s...

Open AccessThe metabolite α-KG induces GSDMC-dependent pyroptosis through death receptor 6-activated caspase-8
Pyroptosis is a form of regulated cell death mediated by gasdermin family members, among which the function of GSDMC has not been clearly described. Herein, we demonstrate that the metabolite α-ketoglutarate (...

Open AccessPericytes augment glioblastoma cell resistance to temozolomide through CCL5-CCR5 paracrine signaling
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a prevalent and highly lethal form of glioma, with rapid tumor progression and frequent recurrence. Excessive outgrowth of pericytes in GBM governs the ecology of the perivascular niche, ...

Fire-prone Rhamnaceae with South African affinities in Cretaceous Myanmar amber
The rapid Cretaceous diversification of flowering plants remains Darwin’s ‘abominable mystery’ despite numerous fossil flowers discovered in recent years. Wildfires were frequent in the Cretaceous and many suc...

Open AccessProteomics data analysis using multiple statistical approaches identified proteins and metabolic networks associated with sucrose accumulation in sugarcane
Sugarcane is the most important sugar crop, contributing > 80% of global sugar production. High sucrose content is a key target of sugarcane breeding, yet sucrose improvement in sugarcane remains extremely slo...

Open AccessPINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy inhibits osteoblast apoptosis induced by advanced oxidation protein products
Osteoblast apoptosis plays an important role in age-related bone loss and osteoporosis. Our previous study revealed that advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) could induce nicotinamide adenine dinucleoti...
