1. IntroductionMonascus ruber is a small filamentous fungus whose fermentation products have a long history in East Asia and have been used for centuries to produce fermented products such as food colorant and pharmaceutical preparations [1,2]. M. ruber can synthesize abundant beneficial secondary metabolites in the process of growth and metabolism, such as Monascus pigments (MPs), monacolin k, γ-aminobutyric acid, ergosterol, and enzymes [3,4,5,6]. MPs are a mixture of polyketides.

1. IntroductionSoybean (Glycine max) seeds are rich in oil and protein and are widely used to extract vegetable oil and protein [1]. Soybean seeds contain eight essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body [2]. Seed coat color is an important morphological marker of soybean genetic evolution and an important attribute in determining the appearance of soybean seeds [3].

AbstractCancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are abundant and heterogeneous in tumor microenvironment (TME). Cross-talk between cancer cells and CAFs results in cancer progression. Here, we demonstrated that a distinct cancer-associated fibroblasts subset with podoplanin (PDPN) positive expression (PDPN+ CAFs) was correlated with poor survival in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). PDPN+ CAFs promoted the progression of OSCC by transferring exosomal lncRNA FTX to OSCC cells.
