Rutin-degrading enzymes play a crucial role in catalyzing the hydrolysis of rutin (quercetin 3-O-rutinoside) into bitter compound quercetin, contributing significantly to bitterness Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) (TB). Mitigating this is vital for improving palatability and marketability TB products. In study, we integrated genomic transcriptomic data with molecular docking analyses identify 12 potential rutin-degrading TB. Among them, FtBGLU29 exhibited stable binding affinity...
Induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) can be directly transdifferentiated from somatic cells. One potential clinical application of the iNSCs is for nerve regeneration. However, it unknown whether function in disease models. We produced by conditional overexpressing Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, c-Mycin mouse embryonic fibroblasts. They expanded readily vitro and expressed NSC mRNA profile protein markers. These differentiated into mature astrocytes, neurons oligodendrocytes vitro. Importantly, they reduced...
This study investigates two research questions: 1) do senior university students change their expectations on teacher feedback in comparison with junior counterparts? and 2) to what extent can these new be explained by the changing student literacy level? Survey (n = 427) interview data 11) were collected from English major one of largest universities East China. Three lessons are learned this study.

Personalized learning has gained significant attention in higher education as it promotes accessibility, personalization, and engagement. However, the implementation of PLE was slow due to lack frameworks guidelines facilitate collaboration among key stakeholders. Our previous research developed a Social, Policy, Education Technology (SPET) framework for PLEs tackle challenges. SPET overlooked potential negative consequences exclusion inequity caused by PLEs. To address these concerns, we...
