Comparative and pharmacological investigation of bEVs from eight Lactobacillales strains
Characterization of bEVs from eight Lactobacillales strains
We characterized bEVs from eight gram-positive bacterial strains of the order Lactobacillales in the late exponential growth phase. The bEV size and particle number of each strain…

OsBZR4 regulates temperature-dependent embryogenesis in rice
Characterization of embryoless mutants
Our previous studies demonstrated that OsWRKY53 and OsMED25 regulate rice architecture and grain shape by interacting with OsBZR120,21. To systematically investigate the functions of OsBZR family genes, we…

A stress-induced paralog of Lhcb4 controls the photosystem II functional architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana
The Lhcb8-only plants display an altered antenna protein composition
The koLhcb4.1 koLhcb4.2 koLhcb4.3 triple knock-out genotype (hereafter koLhcb4), which lacks the Lhcb4 protein, was complemented with the endogenous Lhcb4.3 (Lhcb8) sequence…

Mechanisms of induced resistance to the antitumoral agent ZZW-115 in pancreas ductal adenocarcinoma
Establishment of the ZZW-115 resistant cells
To model the emergence of therapeutic resistance in a manner that more closely reflects clinical tumor evolution, we chose to generate ZZW-115-resistant cells through a population-based adaptive…
