Effects of Tillage Practices and Plastic Film Mulching on Soil Temperature, Dry Matter Production, and Yield Formation of Maize in a Cool Region

Limited thermal resources in the cool regions of Northeast China restrict maize growth and yield formation. A two-year field experiment was conducted in Dunhua, Jilin Province, China, during 2024–2025 using four tillage practices—deep rotary tillage (SX), deep harrowing (SB), dee...

Brand Awareness, Purchase Intention, and Branded Beef Purchasing Behavior: An Empirical Study Based on Jilin Province, China

Against the backdrop of steadily growing beef consumption and accelerating competition toward brand differentiation, this study investigates how consumer brand awareness influences branded beef purchasing behavior. Drawing on survey data from 273 branded beef consumers in Jilin P...

Integrated Soil–Crop System Management Promotes Microbial Necromass and Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration in Black Soil Through Microbial Transformation and Aggregate Protection

Long-term intensive cultivation has degraded soil structure and reduced soil organic carbon (SOC) retention in the black soils of Northeast China. However, the processes underlying SOC accumulation under integrated soil–crop system management (ISSM) remain poorly understood. An 1...

Reprogramming Sphingolipid Metabolic and Redox Homeostasis with an Injectable Botanicals/Nanozymes Hydrogel for Inhibiting Postoperative Recurrence and Metastasis in Breast Cancer

ABSTRACT Postoperative recurrence and metastasis in breast cancer remain major clinical challenges, primarily driven by persistent inflammation responses and secondary infections at surgical sites. These pathological processes trigger sphingolipid dysregulation and generate the r...

Identification and Functional Characterization of UbiA-Type Terpene Synthases in Inonotus obliquus

Abstract Inonotus obliquus (Chaga mushroom) is a medicinal basidiomycete rich in structurally diverse terpenoids, yet the biosynthetic enzymes responsible for sesquiterpene formation remain poorly understood. Here, we identified six UbiA-type terpene synthases (IoUbiA1-6) from th...

Calcium Peroxide Addition Suppresses ARG Dissemination by Modulating Host Succession and MGE-Mediated Horizontal Transfer During Swine Manure Composting

Applying exogenous additives during composting can help to effectively mitigate the environmental dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Calcium peroxide (CaO2)—a strong oxidizing agent—has achieved significant efficacy in degrading various pollutants. This study ai...

Sunflower Receptacle Extract Alleviates Acute Gouty Arthritis via HMGB1-TLR4-NLRP3 Inflammatory Pathway

Background/Objectives: Acute gouty arthritis (AGA) is an auto-inflammatory disorder characterized by dysregulated innate immune activation and overactive NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3)/Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inflammatory signaling. While adverse e...

Akkermansia muciniphila HHAKKα Prevents High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Obesity in Mice via Gut Microbiota Modulation and Regulation of Hepatic Lipid Metabolism

Obesity and its associated metabolic disorders pose significant global health challenges. This study investigated the anti-obesity effects of Akkermansia muciniphila HHAKKα in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. C57BL/6J mice were administered HHAKKα orally for 8 weeks while...

Cultivar-dependent metabolite profiling of Panax ginseng adventitious roots reveals targets for industrial production of bioactive compounds

Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer is a commercially important medicinal crop valued for its bioactive secondary metabolites. Adventitious root (AR) culture provides a scalable and controllable platform for compound production, but the metabolic basis of variation among ginseng AR lines re...

Dietary Supplementation of Auraptene, a Major Component in Citrus reticulata Blanco, Prevents Acute Liver Injury Associated with Apoptosis and Inflammation

Abstract Auraptene (AP), a coumarin derivative abundant in citrus peels, exhibits diverse bioactivities; however, its role in acute liver injury and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study investigates the hepatoprotective effects of AP against carbon tetrachloride (...

Extraction, structural features, and in vitro bioactivities of polysaccharides from Prunus padus L. berries

Prunus padus L. berries represent an undervalued temperate medicinal fruit with established ethnobotanical applications, yet comprehensive research on its endogenous polysaccharides remains absent. This study established an ultrasound-assisted hot-water extraction protocol optimi...

An oncolytic virus armed with fowl adenovirus fiber-modified recombinant TRAIL enhances tumor targeting and immunotherapy activity

Oncolytic viruses have emerged as a promising strategy in cancer immunotherapy and have been applied to the treatment of various tumors. We previously demonstrated that oncolytic adenoviruses engineered expressing tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) co...

Effects of Dietary Glycine Supplementation on Reproductive Outcomes and Early Piglet Growth in Local Black Gilts: Associations with Placental Traits and Maternal Gut Microbiota–Metabolome Profiles

Dietary glycine may influence reproductive outcomes, placental development, and early piglet growth in gilts. Sixty local black gilts were randomly assigned to a basal diet (CON), an isonitrogenous control supplemented with 1.19% L-alanine (ALA), or 1.0% glycine (GLY; n = 20 per...
