Adipose tissue functions in terms of energy homeostasis as a rheostat for blood triglyceride, regulating its concentration, in response to external stimuli. In addition it acts as a barometer to inform the central nervous system of energy levels which can vary dramatically between meals and accor...

The rising prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) underscores the urgent need for alternative treatment strategies. By producing ammonia to neutralize gastric acid, the key virulence factor urease is essential for H. pylori&nbs...
The section Oleifera (Theaceae) has attracted attention for the high levels of unsaturated fatty acids found in its seeds. Here, we report the chromosome-scale genome of the sect. Oleifera using diploid wild Camellia lanceoleosa with a final size of 3.00 Gb and an N50 s...
Ecologically derived synthetic communities can provide robust plant benefits, yet generalizable rules for assembling multifunctional consortia remain limited. We hypothesized that a “top-down” community assembled from an ecological core would yield complementary functions and resilience superior ...
Ralstonia solanacearum, one of the most destructive crop pathogens worldwide, causes bacterial wilt disease in a wide range of host plants. The major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), has been shown to function as elicitors of plant defense lead...
