Seed plants have evolved to maintain the dormancy of freshly matured seeds until the
appropriate time for germination. Seed dormancy and germination are distinct physiological …

Berberine is an important ingredient in a number of traditional Chinese medicines but has
been shown to have poor bioavailability in the dog. The aim of this study was to use the P‐…

In contrast to the wealth of asymmetric transformations for generating central chirality from
alkyl radicals, the enantiocontrol over the allenyl radicals for forging axial chirality represents …

The mechanism of action of berberine as an antihyperglycaemic agent was investigated in
the Caco-2 cell line. Berberine was found to effectively inhibit the activity of disaccharidases …

Background & Aims Streptococcus thermophilus was identified to be depleted in patients
with colorectal cancer (CRC) by shotgun metagenomic sequencing of 526 multicohort fecal …

Heat shock factors (HSF) are important eukaryotic stress responsive transcription factors
which are highly structurally conserved from yeast to mammals. HSFs bind as homotrimers to …

Importance Intravenous thrombolysis is increasingly used in patients with minor stroke, but
its benefit in patients with minor nondisabling stroke is unknown. Objective To investigate …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are a class of low-molecular-weight, cysteine- rich metal-binding
proteins that function in metal detoxification and oxidative stress protection. We demonstrate …

Three cDNA sequences coding for elapid cathelicidins were cloned from constructed venom
gland cDNA libraries of Naja atra, Bungarus fasciatus and Ophiophagus hannah. The open …

The expression of heat shock genes is controlled at the level of transcription by members of
the heat shock transcription factor family in vertebrates. HSF4 is a mammalian factor …
