The Value of Forests to Pollinating Insects Varies with Forest Structure, Composition, and Age

The Value of Forests to Pollinating Insects Varies with Forest Structure, Composition, and Age

Forest Structure and Pollinator Diversity: A Review on Forest Ecological Functions Academic Background In recent years, the global diversity of pollinators has been declining rapidly, posing a serious threat to ecosystem functions and agricultural production. Forests, as critical ecosystems, not only provide habitats for pollinators but also play a...

Phosphorylation of BOK at Ser-8 Blocks Its Ability to Suppress IP3R-Mediated Calcium Mobilization

The New Role of BOK Protein in Calcium Signaling Regulation Background Introduction BOK (Bcl-2-related ovarian killer) is a member of the Bcl-2 protein family and has long been thought to play a role in cell apoptosis. However, recent studies suggest that BOK may also have non-apoptotic functions, particularly in the regulation of calcium ion (Ca²⁺...

The SIRT5-JIP4 Interaction Promotes Osteoclastogenesis by Modulating RANKL-Induced Signaling Transduction

SIRT5-JIP4 Interaction Promotes Osteoclastogenesis by Modulating RANKL-Induced Signaling Transduction Research Background Osteoporosis is a common bone disease characterized by reduced bone density and disrupted bone microstructure, leading to an increased risk of fractures. Osteoclasts, the primary cells responsible for bone resorption, play a cri...

Signal Integrator Function of CXXC5 in Cancer

Signal Integrator Function of CXXC5 in Cancer Academic Background CXXC5 (CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5) is a member of the ZF-CXXC protein family and plays a pivotal role in signal integration and information transfer within the cellular signaling network. By regulating multiple signaling pathways (such as Wnt/β-catenin, TGF-β/BMP, ATM/p53, etc.)...
