Visualizing Plant Salt Stress with a NaCl-Responsive Fluorescent Probe
Developing salt stress probes is essential for monitoring plant growth dynamics and for molecular breeding. This protocol outlines the synthesis and application of the probe for high-sensitivity live screening of salt stress mutants, including both sensitive and salt-tolerant types.
Time is Precious
Our laboratory has been studying the long noncoding RNA ( lncRNA ) termed FIRRE for over 15 years and yet we have only recently realized we missed something critical: TIME. Time is precious and has changed the way we think about the entire field !
Unveiling the Mechanisms Behind Cancer Aggressiveness: How Epichaperomes Drive Cellular Plasticity
What makes cancer so aggressive and adaptable? Our latest research uncovers a hidden mechanism within cells—specialized protein networks called epichaperomes. These structures help cancer cells survive and thrive, reactivating developmental pathways and fueling unchecked growth.
Mutations may offer clues to cancer development in systemic sclerosis
The latest paper from Natalie Saini's group explores an intriguing connection between inflammation, DNA damage, and cancer via accrual of somatic mutations in patients of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma).
Visible light accelerates skin wound healing and alleviates scar formation in mice by adjusting STAT3 signaling
In mice keratinocytes, upregulation of PI3Kβ by red light promotes the p-STAT3 and accelerates skin wound healing by; ROS induced by blue light inhibits the p-STAT3 and alleviates scar formation.
