“…There are three major types of mechanical stresses experienced by cancer cells: tensile, compressive, and shear. Tensile stress arises from cellular actomyosin contraction in response to extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness . Compressive stress takes place as the tumor grows within a confined space.…”

Similar to bacteria, yeast, and other organisms that have evolved pathways to respond to environmental stresses, cancer cells develop mechanisms that increase genetic diversity to facilitate adaptation to a variety of stressful conditions, including hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, exposure to DNA‐damaging agents, and immune responses. To survive, cancer cells trigger mechanisms that drive genomic instability and mutation, alter gene expression programs, and reprogram the metabolic pathways to evade growth inhibition signaling and immune surveillance. A deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie the pathways used by cancer cells to overcome stresses will allow us to develop more efficacious strategies for cancer therapy. Herein, we overview several key stresses imposed on cancer cells, including oxidative, metabolic, mechanical, and genotoxic, and discuss the mechanisms that drive cancer cell responses. The therapeutic implications of these responses are also considered, as these factors pave the way for the targeting of stress adaption pathways in order to slow cancer progression and block resistance to therapy.

Environmental stresses are ubiquitous and unavoidable to all living things. Organisms respond and adapt to stresses through defined regulatory mechanisms that drive changes in gene expression, organismal morphology, or physiology. Immune responses illustrate adaptation to bacterial and viral biotic stresses in animals. Dysregulation of the genotoxic stress response system is frequently associated with various types of human cancer. With respect to plants, especially halophytes, complicated systems have been developed to allow for plant growth in high salt environments. In addition, drought, waterlogging, and low temperatures represent other common plant stresses. In this review, we summarize representative examples of organismal response and adaptation to various stresses. We also discuss the molecular mechanisms underlying the above phenomena with a focus on the improvement of organismal tolerance to unfavorable environments.

“…Therefore, accurate species identifications and proper taxonomic classification of lichens is necessary for effective characterization of biological diversity. With the increasing availability of molecular profiling and improvement of analytical methods, criteria used for delimiting species have changed dramatically over the last decades (DU et al, 2010;MA et al, 2010;SUN et al, 2010;WANG et al, 2010;ZHANG et al, 2010b;LU et al, 2011;TIAN et al, 2011;CHENG et al, 2012;GAO & REN, 2012;LLOP et al, 2012;LU et al, 2012;WANG et al, 2012;ZHANG et al, 2012;ZHAO et al, 2012;ZHOU et al, 2012;HU et al, 2013;LI et al, 2013c;LU et al, 2013;REN, 2013;REN & KOU, 2013;WANG et al, 2013b;YUAN et al, 2013a;ZHAO et al, 2013a;ZHAO et al, 2013b;HOU et al, 2014b;HU et al, 2014;REN, 2014;REN & ZHAO, 2014;ZHAO et al, 2014b;LIU et al, 2015;REN, 2015;WANG et al, 2015c;ZHANG et al, 2015a;ZHANG et al, 2015b;ZHAO et al, 2015;WANG et al, 2016;ZHAO et al, 2016d;ZHAO et al, 2016e;REN, 2017;ZHAO et al, 2017).…”

Biodiversity plays a key role in human welfare by providing agricultural, economic, and health benefits. However, following the industrial revolution, the rapid expansion of the human population and subsequent economic activities have caused a dramatic loss in global biodiversity, resulting in significant disturbances to ecosystems and our own living conditions. Accordingly, the conservation of biodiversity has become one of the most important challenges for humanity. The vast numbers of plants, animals, and microorganisms, the enormous genetic diversity of these species and the different ecosystems to which these organisms belong are all part of a biologically diverse planet. A substantial proportion of the world’s biodiversity has been destroyed, this loss is a catastrophe for all living species, including humans. Fortunately, we are working to remedy the destruction of our ecosystems. Herein, we summarized the discovery and development of biodiversity as a field of study and discuss the importance of the genetic and metabolite diversity. We proposed potential solutions to the loss of biodiversity with the aim of facilitating further exploration and identification of biodiversity, contributing for human welfare through the conservation of human habitats.
