Further investigation revealed that GbR2R3-MYB19 was located in the nucleus and possessed transcriptional activity, implying its potential roles in the regulation of multiple biological processes. Our findings provide a robust basis for future comprehensive evolutionary and functional analyses of GbR2R3-MYB genes in ginkgo.Black mulberry (Morus nigra L.) has shown health benefits against metabolic disorders. Lipotoxicity is considered as a potentially cause of metabolic syndrome, and there is no effective treatment. However, the protective effect and its mechanism of black mulberry against lipotoxicity are unclear. In this study, three polysaccharide fractions (BP1, BP2, BP3) were isolated from black mulberry by stepwise precipitation with 30%, 60%, and 90% of ethanol and analyzed by GPC, HPLC and FT-IR methods. BP1 exhibited a better protective effect than BP2 and BP3 on palmitic acid (PA)-induced lipotoxicity in HepG2 cells. BP1 effectively reduced PA-induced lipotoxicity by eliminating accumulation of ROS, improving mitochondrial function, reversing glutathione depletion and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activities. Mechanistically, BP1 activated the Nrf2 signaling pathway, a master regulator of the antioxidant defense system, through increasing Nrf2 nuclear translocation and phosphorylation. Collectively, these results demonstrate that BP1 has the great potential for applications in lipid disorders.Herein we present our research on the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles on the surface of electrospun cellulose (CE) nanofibers using alkali lignin as a reducing agent. Fascinatingly, CA nanofibers were deacetalized during alkali lignin treatment, which was verified by FTIR-ATR spectra. The morphology of the produced nanofibers was observed with SEM and TEM. The presence of CuO nanoparticles was verified by EDX, XRD, and XPS. The Cu/CE nanofibers showed low thermal stability. MVTR values of 2100-1900 g/m2/day are adequate for the transport of air and moisture from the wound surface. The Cu/CE showed faster release (80%) of copper ions to aqueous environment within 24 h and seemed to advance towards plateau for the next five days. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Monensin-sodium-salt(Coban).html The Cu/CE nanofibrous mats exhibited excellent antibacterial efficacy against both gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. NIH3T3 fibroblast cells have excellent migrating and proliferating ability on our prepared nanofibrous mats. The presence of bound alkali lignin on the surface of nanofibers added a benefit of antioxidant activity. These findings revealed that such type of nanofibrous mats could be used as a potential wound dressing material.Polylactic acid (PLA) is the second-highest consumed bioplastic in the world. PVP/PLA-PEO complex nanofibers encapsulating collagen and cefazolin dressing scaffold were fabricated using a coaxial electrospinning method to target the release of the encapsulated compounds. It was observed that in collagen doses of 10 and 20%, the speed of healing showed a significant difference with the control sample, but the dose of 40% caused a decrease in wound healing rate in mice. The nanofibers' morphology and surface roughness were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The mechanical properties and adhesion strength of the scaffolds were investigated. The scaffolds' antimicrobial activity was evaluated by disk diffusion method against the E. coli, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa. The results indicated a positive effect on the antimicrobial activity of the samples. In this study, we were able to prolong the effect of scaffolds by changing the pattern of release of cefazolin from inside the nanofibers. Possible interactions between the polymers and the encapsulated compounds were investigated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Finally, in-vivo and histological tests were performed to evaluate the efficacy of the scaffolds in accelerating wound healing.The sensitive colorimetric detection of glucose using nanomaterials has been attracting considerable attention. To improve the detection sensitivity, highly stable lentinan stabilized platinum nanoclusters (Pt-LNT NCs) were prepared, in which lentinan was employed as a mild reductant and stabilizer. The size of platinum nanoclusters (Pt NCs) was only 1.20 ± 0.29 nm. Pt-LNT NCs catalyzed the oxidation of substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce a blue oxidation product with absorption peak at 652 nm, indicating their peroxidase-like properties. Their enzymatic kinetics followed typical Michaelis-Menten theory. In addition, fluorescence experiments confirmed their ability to efficiently catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 to generate •OH, which resulted in the peroxidase-like mechanism of Pt-LNT NCs. Moreover, a colorimetric method for highly selective and sensitive detection of glucose was established by using Pt-LNT NCs and glucose oxidase. The linear range of glucose detection was 5-1000 μM and the detection limit was 1.79 μM. Finally, this method was further used for detection of glucose in human serum and human urine. The established colorimetric method may promote the development of biological detection and environmental chemistry in the future.Pectin has been regarded as a drug carrier accelerating the healing process due to its bioactivities, abundance and lower cost of resources. However, a big challenge related to its practical application is its poor mechanical strength. In this study the modified Cu-based MOF containing Folic acid was synthesized and incorporated in the suitable pectin electrospun nanofibers which not only improved the copper ions release behavior but also made the fiber mat stronger, antibacterial and induce angiogenesis, fibroblast migration, and proliferation due to loaded copper ions and folic acid. The nanofibers composing of 75% pectin and 4000 kDa -PEO were chosen after morphological and mechanical characterization. Finally, the effect of MOF incorporation on the nanocomposite samples was characterized in terms of morphological, physiochemical and biological properties. The nanofibrous mats were evaluated by tensile testing, antibacterial and cytotoxicity. The release behavior of copper ions and folic acid was controlled and their burst release alleviated reducing cytotoxicity in vitro.
