Gastrodin Alleviates Tau Hyperphosphorylation Associated with AKT/GSK-3&#946; Signaling Changes in an Alzheimer's Disease Cell Model

Alzheimer&#39;s disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease for which there are currently limited effective drugs. As the principal bioactive ...

Here, we present a protocol to optimize asymbiotic seed germination, seedling development, and shoot elongation in Hemipilia cucullata. The protocol also enables the induction of protocorm-like bodies from sterile leaf explants, facilitating efficient in vitro propagation for the conservation and sustainable use of this endangered medicinal orchid.

Asymbiotic Germination and Leaf Explant-Based Regeneration of the Endangered Medicinal Orchid Hemipilia cucullata from Mature Seeds

Hemipilia cucullata (Orchidaceae) is a terrestrial orchid widely valued for its medicinal properties and ornamental appeal, yet its wild populations are ...

Presented here is a protocol that guarantees uniform distribution of initial moisture inside of a fabric and investigates the effects of hot-air thermodynamic parameters (velocity, temperature, and direction) and thickness on the fabric&#39;s drying characteristics (e.g., temperature variation) under the condition of air impingement.

Fabric Moisture Uniform Control to Study the Influence of Air Impingement Parameters on Fabric Drying Characteristics

Impinging dryness is now a widely used and effective way for fabric drying due to its high heat and mass transfer coefficient. Previous studies on fabric ...
