My mom and I feeding a squirrel what seem to be Cheerios. I don’t remember this. Me looking at a tiger. I don’t remember this. Me looking at a camel. I don’t remember this. I was 2.66 years old. My brother and I holding hamsters or gerbils—not sure which. I don’t remember this. My brother and I with a rabbit. I don’t remember this rabbit. Me with Binky. Me with Binky again. My dad and I with sheepsheads. My dad and I with a redfish. My mom and I with Dudu on a cow farm in Taiwan.

AbstractPhysiologically, hepatocytes perform an estimated 500 essential liver functions to ensure systemic homeostasis. The mechanisms how hepatocytes maintain these numerous crucial functions in response to physiological and pathophysiological challenges are largely unknown. In this study, we found that vital liver function genes (e.g., HNF4A, ALB, coagulation factors, and SLC2A2) in hepatocytes possess super-enhancers.

AbstractLiver progenitor cells (LPCs) are the smallest cholangiocytes that perform hepatocyte functions to rescue the lives of patients suffering from acute liver failure (ALF) caused by massive hepatic necrosis (MHN). To date, it remains largely unknown how LPCs remain quiescent and become activated following MHN. This study elucidates the essential role of TGF-β in regulating LPC quiescence and activation.

AbstractPlant-based meat analogs (PBMAs) are promising substitutes for balancing the global supply and demand of meat products. The urgent necessity of a meat-like flavor becomes prominent owing to the aroma and taste defects of plant-based meat analogs, which restricts the desire for consumption.

I first noticed the rooster on March 18. It was in my yard with the feral pigs. I’d seen chickens in my yard before—a pair had passed through around five times in three years—but no chicken had ever stayed more than an hour. The rooster doesn’t seem to have left since arriving on March 18. He’s here all day and seemingly all night. He was silent until March 27. At four p.m. that day, he crowed thirteen times. The 10th and 12th crows had a lower-pitched last note.

1 Introduction Phytophthora, a genus of oomycetes, is recognized for its significant impact as an agricultural pathogen and its capacity to act as an invasive species in forest ecosystems. (McGowan and Fitzpatrick 2020; Martin et al. 2012; O'Brien et al. 2009). To gain deeper insights into the genetic relationships within this genus, Martin et al.

IntroductionClick to copy section linkSection link copied!Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is a unique luminescence property. (1) AIE molecules do not emit light in dilute solutions but display fluorescence in the aggregation state. (2) One of the most renowned AIE chromophores is tetraphenylethylene (TPE).
