Chromochloris zofingiensis has been proved as a potential resource for large-scale astaxanthin production, but little information of phytohormones on growth and astaxanthin accumulation could be obtained. This study explored the impact of gibberellic acid-3 (GA3) on growth and astaxanthin generat...
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...
Cells must continuously adjust metabolic output to maintain homeostasis under changing environmental conditions, yet the mechanisms that enable rapid and reversible control of pathway activity remain largely unknown. The methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, of bacterial origin and conserved ...
Obesity and related metabolic syndromes pose a growing global health challenge, increasingly linked to severe complications including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. High-fat diet (HFD) serves as a key environmental driver of obesity, disrupting gut...
The composition and physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influence tumor progression, but the molecular mechanisms underlying ECM layering are poorly understood. Tumor-stroma interaction is critically dependent on cell-cell communication mediated by exosomes, small ves...

Cesarean section scar diverticulum (CSD) has become a formidable obstacle preventing women receiving CS from reproducing. However, the pathogenesis of CSD remains unexplored. In this study, we characterized the cervical microbiota, metabolome and endometrial transcriptome of women with CSD. Based...
In recent years, the immunomodulatory function of adipose tissue has attracted much attention; however, the mechanism of steady-state regulation of the immune microenvironment in adipose tissue remains unclear. Catecholamines (CAs) activate adipocyte surface β3-AR to promote lipid metabolism, and...
