Study on the function of TTG1 gene in Camellia oleifera by Chengcheng Xiang, Chengcheng Xiang, Lizhi Xiao, Lizhi Xiao, Hongmei Tao, Hongmei Tao, Jie Cao, Jie Cao, Jun Yuan, Jun Yuan, Weihao Wang, Yao Jiang, Yao Jiang

“…Although the WD40-repeat transcription factor TTG1 is known to regulate plant secondary metabolism and development, its specific functions in C. oleifera remain uncharacterized. In this study, we isolated the CoTTG1 gene from C. oleifera, which encodes a nuclear-localized protein (molecular weight 38.38 kDa, pI 5.0) sharing 99.71% sequence identity with Camellia japonica TTG1. …”

The role of Piezo1 in the regulation of erythrocyte morphology and function by CHEN Baixin, LI Yue, QU Yinyin, LI Zhengqian, GUO Xiangyang

“…Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive ion channel protein widely expressed in mammalian cells with the function of sensing mechanical stimuli and of mediating signaling, and is embedded in the membranes of erythrocytes, the major cellular component of blood.Piezo1 regulates the morphology and function of erythrocytes by mediating the influx of Ca2+ into the cell in crosstalk with the Gardos channel (KCa3.1), constituting the “Piezo1-Ca2+-Gardos channel axis”. …”

Interactive Functions of Kaně (کنه) in Ordinary Pashto Conversation by Sultan Muhammad, Dr. Salma Khatoon, Prof. Dr. Ayesha Sohail

“…Using Conversational Analysis (CA) methodology, analysis of the interactional data indicated that kaně serves the following three functions: (1) it is used, when attached to the end of declarative statements; as a tag question or tag-like turn-final question for confirmation, (2) when attached at the end of imperative statements to make some request, it serves as a word for expressing emphasis, and (3) when kaně occurs at the end of an utterance which is produced with louder pitch than other words in the surrounding environment and the final vowel of kaně at the end of the utterance is elongated, it expresses strong insistence. …”

New Results about Quadratic Functional Equation on Semigroups by Akkaoui Ahmed, Fadli Brahim

“…Let S be a semigroup, let (H, +) be a uniquely 2-divisible, abelian group and let φ, ψ be two endomorphisms of S that need not be involutive. In this paper, we express the solutions f : S → H of the following quadratic functional equation f(xφ(y))+f(ψ(y)x)=2f(x)+2f(y),  x,y∈S,f\left( {x\varphi \left( y \right)} \right) + f\left( {\psi \left( y \right)x} \right) = 2f\left( x \right) + 2f\left( y \right), \;\;\;\;x,y \in S, in terms of bi-additive maps and solutions of the symmetrized additive Cauchy equation. …”
