Open AccessModification of wood via biochar particle impregnation
Thermal-hydro-mechanical (THM) densification was performed on Picea abies (spruce), Abies alba (European fir), Populus nigra (poplar), and Fagus sylvatica (beech). Prior to THM treatment, the wood was impregnated...

A high production of flavonoids and anthraquinones via adventitious root culture of Oplopanax elatus and evaluating antioxidant activity
Adventitious root (AR) culturing is an effective approach for obtaining bioactive compounds from the endangered plant species of Oplopanax elatus Nakai. In the present study, flavonoids and anthraquinones, both i...

Optimization of culture medium components and culture period for production of adventitious roots of Echinacea pallida (Nutt.) Nutt
To optimize the culture medium for adventitious root (AR) culture of Echinacea pallida, the nitrogen, phosphorus, and sucrose with their different concentrations were combined by using the uniform design method i...

Open AccessIncreased expression of long noncoding RNA TUG1 predicts a poor prognosis of gastric cancer and regulates cell proliferation by epigenetically silencing of p57
Recent evidence highlights long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as crucial regulators of cancer biology that contribute to tumorigenesis. LncRNA TUG1 was initially detected in a genomic screen for genes upregulated i...

Open AccessLow expression of long noncoding RNA PANDAR predicts a poor prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer and affects cell apoptosis by regulating Bcl-2
Recently, a novel class of transcripts, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), is involved in diseases including cancer. Here, we investigated the the role of lncRNA PANDAR in the progression of non-small cell lung ca...

Molecular cloning, prokaryotic expression and promoter analysis of squalene synthase gene from Schizochytrium Limacinum
Squalene synthase (SQS) is an important enzyme in the steroid biosynthetic pathways which condenses two molecules of farnesyl pyrophosphate into a squalene. In this study, the gene encoding SQS was isolated from

Open AccessP53-regulated long non-coding RNA TUG1 affects cell proliferation in human non-small cell lung cancer, partly through epigenetically regulating HOXB7 expression
Recently, a novel class of transcripts, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), is being identified at a rapid pace. These RNAs have critical roles in diverse biological processes, including tumorigenesis. Here we rep...

Leaf cuticular waxes and physiological parameters in alfalfa leaves as influenced by drought
Drought significantly constrains higher yield of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in arid and semiarid areas all over the world. This study evaluated the responses of leaf cuticular wax constituents to drought treatm...

Contrasting leaf characteristics of trees and lianas in secondary and mature forests in southwestern China
We compared variation in sun-canopy leaf anatomy, morphology and photosynthetic rates of coexisting woody species (trees and lianas) in an 8-year-old secondary forest (SF) and mature forest (MF) in the wet sea...

Hepatitis B virus core protein inhibits TRAIL-induced apoptosis of hepatocytes by blocking DR5 expression
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes chronic hepatitis in hundreds of millions of people worldwide, which can eventually lead to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The molecular mechanisms underlying HBV persistence ar...

In vitro multiplication of heavy metals hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens
A micropropagation protocol through multiple shoot formation was developed for Thlaspi caerulescens L., one of the most important heavy metals hyperaccumulator plants. In vitro seed-derived young seedlings were u...
