Alternative splicing (AS) creates multiple mRNA transcripts from a single gene. While AS is
known to contribute to gene regulation and proteome diversity in animals, the study of its …

Exosomes are a subset of extracellular vesicles that carry specific combinations of proteins,
nucleic acids, metabolites, and lipids. Mounting evidence suggests that exosomes …

Dysregulated lipid metabolism represents an important metabolic alteration in cancer. Fatty
acids, cholesterol, and phospholipid are the three most prevalent lipids that act as energy …

We report an improved draft nucleotide sequence of the 2.3-gigabase genome of maize, an
important crop plant and model for biological research. Over 32,000 genes were predicted, …

Long-distance transport of nitrate requires xylem loading and unloading, a successive
process that determines nitrate distribution and subsequent assimilation efficiency. Here, we …

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (about 85–90% of primary liver cancer) is
particularly prevalent in China because of the high prevalence of chronic hepatitis B infection. …

Following the domestication of maize over the past ∼10,000 years, breeders have exploited
the extensive genetic diversity of this species to mold its phenotype to meet human needs. …

We have resequenced a group of six elite maize inbred lines, including the parents of the most
productive commercial hybrid in China. This effort uncovered more than 1,000,000 SNPs, …

We present a vibrational imaging study of axonal myelin under physiological conditions by
laser-scanning coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. We use spinal …

Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a public health emergency of
international concern and has caused traumatic experience for nurses worldwide. However, the …
