TL;DR: Baicalin has the capacity to protect IEC-6 cells and the intercellular tight junctions from LPS-induced injury and the mechanisms may be associated with inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines, and up-regulating the mRNA and protein expression of ZO-1.

TL;DR: Results indicate that baicalin exerts a protective effect on IEC-6 (rat small intestinal epithelial cells) cells against TNF-α-induced injury, which is at least partly via inhibiting the expression of miR-191a, thus increasing ZO-1 mRNA and protein levels.

TL;DR: Using the T7 phage display system, UQCRB is identified as a direct binding protein of oxymatrine, and the binding of UZCRB to oxym atrine suggests that UQ CRB is a potential target of oxematrine in treating CHB.

TL;DR: Investigation of microbial taxa in peanut germs, cotyledons, and sprouts provides new understanding into plant-microbe interactions in peanut and suggests that the selection for biocontrol agents based on mycobiome and bacteriome analysis is reliable and feasible compared with the present greenhouse selection.

TL;DR: More comprehensive and accurate community of endophytic bacteria in Aquilaria sinensis and it's variation during agarwood formation is obtained using T-RFLP, which is first study of effects of endologytic bacteria on agar wood formation, and will help to exploit resource of endophtic bacteria more reasonably.
