The Role of Dectin-1-Akt-RNF146 Pathway in &beta;-Glucan Induced Immune Trained State of Monocyte in Sepsis by Guo C, Xu P, Luo W, Zhang J, Sun X, Hoang H, Ma D, Wu D, Zhong J, Miao C

“…Moreover, RNF146 regulated dectin-1-Akt-mTOR signaling in the trained immune state of murine monocyte/macrophage RAW264.7 cell line and the expression of RNF146 was dependent on dectin-1-Akt activation. The inhibition of dectin-1 by its antagonist laminarin downregulated Akt-RNF146 signaling and partially reversed β-glucan induced trained immunity in septic mice.Conclusion: RNF146 and Akt are downregulated in the immunosuppression period of sepsis, while increased after β-glucan pretreatment induced trained immunity in septic mice. …”

Optimizing Growth and Yield in Mulched Cotton Through Aerated Subsurface Drip Irrigation in Southern Xinjiang by Yuxi Zhang, Baolin Yao, Peining Niu, Zhu Zhu, Yan Mo, Fayong Li, Sanmin Sun

“…Additionally, both aerating and increasing irrigation quotas not only enhanced the cotton leaf area index (LAI) but also delayed leaf area decay, contributing to prolonged photosynthetic activity. Aerating also favorably influenced the distribution of above-ground biomass in cotton towards budding and boll stages, with the biomass share of buddings, flowers, and bolls averaging 62.98% under aerated conditions versus 62.27% under non-aerated conditions during the boll opening stage. …”
