Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses that limit maize productivity. Apart from the principal transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional regulation mediated by microRNAs appears to be the prevalent response of plants to abiotic stress. In this study, the differential expression of micro...

Background: Ischemic stroke is one of the most deadly chronic diseases, it damages blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB). Syndecan-4 (SDC4) affects BBB integrity and function, but the specific mechanism is unclear. Methods: The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat mod...

Rhizosphere microbial communities play important roles in facilitating or inhibiting the establishment of exotic species. Since some invasive plants interact with soil microbial communities such as rhizosphere bacteria, changes triggered by rhizosphere bacteria may alter competitive interactions bet...

Endothelial PAS domain protein 1 (EPAS1), also called hypoxia-inducible factor-2, is a key regulatory factor of hypoxic responses and plays an essential role in high-altitude adaptation in mammalian species. In this study, polymorphisms of EPAS1 were detected in 217 individuals from 2 Tibetan pig po...
