The accumulating knowledge of the host-microbiota interplay gives rise to the microbiota-gut-
brain (MGB) axis. The MGB axis depicts the interkingdom communication between the gut …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), initially categorized as toxic by-products of aerobic

Tissue injury is one of the most severe environmental perturbations for a living organism.
When damage occurs in adult Drosophila, there is a local response of the injured tissue and …

Plants have evolved sophisticated systems in response to environmental changes, and
growth arrest is a common strategy used to enhance stress tolerance. Despite the growth …

Aquaporins are membrane-intrinsic proteins initially defined as water (H 2 O) channels in all
organisms and subsequently found to have multiple substrate specificities, such as …
