Cryptomeria fortunei growth and development are usually affected by low temperatures. Despite the evergreen nature of this species, most needles turn yellowish-brown in cold winters. The underlying discoloration mechanisms that cause this phenomenon in response to cold acclimation remain...
Chinese cedar (Cryptomeria fortunei) is a tree species with important ornamental, medicinal, and economic value. Terpenoids extracted from the essential oil of C. fortunei needles have been considered valuable ingredients in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, the poss...
Cryptomeria fortunei (Chinese cedar) has outstanding medicinal value due to its abundant flavonoid and terpenoid contents. The metabolite contents of C. fortunei needles differ across different seasons. However, the biosynthetic mechanism of these differentially synthesized meta...
The relationship between dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) has been extensively reported, but the global lipid profiles, especially in the East Asia population, associated with the development of T2D remain to be characterized. Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectromet...
Microproteins, defined as polypeptides fewer than 100 amino acids, are encoded by small open reading frames (sORFs) and exhibit unique structural and functional characteristics. Despite their short length and recent discoveries, microproteins have already been found to play critical roles in diverse...
To gain insight into the potential molecular mechanisms by which PGRN regulates influenza viral replication, proteomic analyses of whole mouse lung tissue from wild-type (WT) versus (vs) PGRN knockout (KO) mice were performed to identify proteins regulated by the absence vs presence of PGRN.
Fe(II) can be oxidized by mixotrophic nitrate-reducing Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria to Fe(III), leading to mineral precipitation. However, the effects of this process on the metabolism and reproduction ability of the Fe(II)-oxidizing bacterial cells have not yet been quantified. In this study, we inves...
