Alhagi-honey (AH) is a well-established traditional ethnic medicine with advantageous effects against diarrhea and headaches. We aim to explore the preventive effect of AH on liver damage induced by heat stress (HS) and its underlying mechanism. HS models were established by thermostat, and mice ...
Exercise enhances physical performance and reduces the risk of many disorders such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia and cancer. Exercise characteristically incites an inflammatory response, notably in skeletal muscles. While some effector mechanisms have been identified, regul...
Progestins are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, with adverse effects on aquatic organisms' reproduction even at extremely low concentrations (0.8 ng/L). As female germ cells, oocytes play an irreplaceable role in organismal reproductive processes. However, the toxic mechanism of norgestrel (NG...
Alcohol dependence is a chronic, relapsing encephalopathy characterized by compulsive craving for alcohol, loss of control over alcohol use, and the presence of negative emotions and physical discomfort when alcohol is unavailable. Harmful use of alcohol is one of the greatest risk factors for de...
Recent developments in spatially resolved -omics have enabled the joint study of gene expression, metabolite levels and tissue morphology, offering greater insights into biological pathways. Integrating these modalities from matched tissue sections to probe spatially-coordinated processes, howeve...
Jasmonic and salicylic acids are the major hormones involved in plant response to pests and pathogens. Non-invasive imaging of these hormones at the tissue and whole-organism levels has remained challenging. Here, we engineer autoluminescent plants that report activity of salicylic and jasmonic a...
