Coreopsis tinctoria and its bioactives in the prevention and management of diabetes and diabetic complications

Abstract Diabetes, one of the major metabolic diseases, has become a major public health concern worldwide leading to chronic lesions in various organs such as kidney and cardiovascular disease, severely impacting quality of life and life expectancy. Current drug treatments for d...

Efficient Acidic H2O2 Electrosynthesis over Co Atoms Anchored on Nitrogen-Doped Hierarchical Porous Carbon

The two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e− ORR) presents a promising route for the on-site production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), offering a green alternative to energy-consuming anthraquinone process. However, the high selectivity toward the competing 4e− ORR over the desi...

Multi-Trait Characterization and Selection of Elite Wild Kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) Germplasm from the Dabie Mountains of Hubei, China

Wild kiwifruit germplasm can broaden breeding pools through complementary fruit-quality and stress-response traits. The Hubei Dabie Mountains contain heterogeneous habitats, but coordinated evaluation of their wild Actinidia resources remains limited. Taxonomy and ploidy were det...

Nickel-cobalt based nanostructures for supercapacitor electrodes: From hydroxides, oxides to sulfides and phosphides

Nickel‑cobalt-based nanostructures have attracted considerable attention as electrode materials for supercapacitors due to their bimetallic synergistic effects, abundant redox-active sites, and tunable nanostructures. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in four...

PHPT1/Ocnus negatively regulates the JAK/STAT pathway to control cell survival

The JAK/STAT signaling pathway is a highly conserved regulator essential for animal development. Here, we show that the Drosophila phosphohistidine phosphatase 1, PHPT1/Ocnus, is required for cell survival by regulating JAK/STAT signaling. Knockdown of ocnus ( ocn ) leads to apop...

Chromosome-level genome assembly of landrace ‘Huangzhou’ provides insights into high cellulose accumulation in radish

<title>Abstract</title> Radish ( <italic>Raphanus sativus</italic> L.) is an important root vegetable crop with extensive morphological and nutritional diversity. The landrace radish, ‘Huangzhou’ (HZ) radish, origins in Huangzhou area, Hubei province of China, and characterized b...
