In many multicellular organisms, a group of cells called organizers plays critical roles by sending signals to adjacent cells and controlling patterning events such as embryogenesis and tissue morphogenesis. Recent studies suggest that these organizers or inductive cells facilitate the downstream...
To explore the effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) on repairing CCl4-induced chronic liver injury in rats by intravenous injection and analyze the promising metabolites.
Modern potato varieties often exhibit low carotenoid content, limiting their nutritional value and processing performance. This study employed a multi-omics approach (physicochemical analysis, metabolomics, mineral profiling, transcriptomics, and microbiome sequencing) to investigate the molecula...
The evolution of new enzymatic functions is constrained and guided by the architecture of an organism’s metabolic and regulatory networks and environmental constraints. Here, we identify a kinase that has evolved from pyruvate phosphate dikinase. Through biochemical and systems-lev...
