The core objective of this study is to clarify the promoting effect of oral ingestion of microplastics on gastric epithelial cell carcinogenesis, systematically decipher the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms, focus on investigating the key molecular targets involved in oxidative stress i...
BACKGROUND: Reptiles exhibit a wide variety of skin colors, which serve essential roles in survival and reproduction. However, the molecular basis of these conspicuous colors remains unresolved.
RESULTS: We investigate color morph-enriched Asian vine snakes...
Background: Clinacanthus nutans (C. nutans), a Southeast Asian medicinal herb, has ethnopharmacological potential against nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study aimed to elucidate the bioactive compounds, potential molecular targets, and regulatory pathways responsible for the anticancer acti...
Hepatic steatosis is the initial manifestation of abnormal liver functions and often leads to liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in humans and fatty liver syndrome in animals. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of a large chicken population consisting of 70...
Gut microbiota can modulate nutrient metabolism, considerably affecting host growth and development. However, mechanisms by which gut microbiota regulate large yellow croaker (LYC; Larimichthys crocea) growth remain unclear. We assessed gut contents of fast-growing male (IWHM) and female (IWHF) L...
Background and Purpose: Previous studies have reported that oral low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) ameliorated colitis by undefined mechanisms in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Our study explored the mechanisms of LMWH on colitis from the perspective of gut microbiota and its metabolites.
The common cutworm (CCW; Spodoptera litura) is one of the major insect pests of soybean in Asia and Oceania. Although quantitative trail loci related to CCW resistance have been introduced into leading soybean cultivars, these do not exhibit sufficient resistance against CCW. Thus, under...
