Tissue engineering has become prominence in soft-tissue reconstruction. Adipogenesis and angiogenesis are important in the formation of engineering adipose tissue. Although acellular adipose matrix (AAM) possesses potential in adipogenic induction, obvious limitations remain in the realization of the authentic physiological regeneration. Matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBVs), located on the extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold, provide cues for the adipogenesis property of AAM. The bioactive components within ECM are influenced by the isolation procedures.

Irrigation plays a crucial role in enhancing agricultural productivity. However, it simultaneously increases water consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a challenge that is further exacerbated by climate change. While many irrigation strategies have been proposed, their potential to balance crop yield growth, water productivity improvement and carbon emission reduction in large-scale irrigation districts remains unclear.

The fungal cell wall, a dynamic structure critical for pathogenesis, is composed of polysaccharides and proteins. UDP-glucose 4-epimerases (UGEs) play a pivotal role in cell wall synthesis by converting UDP-galactose between UDP-glucose. This study investigates the role of MoUGE1 in Magnaporthe oryzae pathogenesis and explores its potential as an antifungal target for fungal disease control. A lead inhibitor targeting MoUGE1 was identified through virtual screening.

The plant secretory system operates as a precision logistics network that sustains cellular homeostasis and mobilizes rapid defense against pathogens. Central to this system are SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins, which catalyze membrane fusion, and the octameric exocyst complex, which tethers trans-Golgi–derived vesicles to defined plasma-membrane domains. Rather than functioning independently, these machineries act as an interdependent module: the exocyst facilitates vesicle tethering and promotes SNARE complex assembly, while SNARE proteins reciprocally stabilize exocyst positioning and activity. This synergy ensures the targeted delivery of immune cargos—including pathogenesis-related proteins, callose synthases, transporters, and specialized metabolites—directly to pathogen attack sites. However, pathogens deploy effectors that disrupt exocyst–SNARE interfaces, weakening these defensive supply lines.

Skeletal muscle is a high-energy-consuming tissue whose development and function critically depend on mitochondrial homeostasis. Mitochondrial quality control involves multiple clearance mechanisms, including mitocytosis, mitophagy, and apoptosis. However, how these pathways are coordinated during myogenic differentiation remains systematically unexplained.
