Harnessing Single-Cell RNA Sequencing to Identify Dendritic Cell Types, Characterize Their Biological States, and Infer Their Activation Trajectory.

Dendritic cells (DCs) orchestrate innate and adaptive immunity, by translating the sensing of distinct danger signals into the induction of different effector lymphocyte responses, to induce the defense mechanisms the best suited to face the threat. Hence, DCs are very plastic, which results from two key characteristics. First, DCs encompass distinct cell types specialized in different functions.

Soil amendments enhanced the growth of Nicotiana alata L. and Petunia hydrida L. by stabilizing heavy metals from wastewater.

Due to the non-degradable nature of heavy metals (HMs), the industrial effluent, whether treated or untreated, carrying HMs, eventually end up into the water bodies, soil, and sediments. Numerous countermeasures were applied, but the use of ornamental plants for the stress mitigation associated with HMs on the environment is a neglected research domain. The composition of wastewater influences bioremediation strategies.

Population data of 23 Y STRs from Manchu population of Liaoning Province, Northeast China.

Mongol-like-horsemen-turned-merchants from Manchuria are known as Manchus, originally their homeland was centered around what is nowadays the city of Shenyang in Northeast China. Previously, worldwide analysis of Y-chromosomal haplotype diversity for 23 STR loci and Y-STR databases with PowerPlex® Y23 System (Promega Corporation Madison, USA) kit were created with collaborative efforts, but Manchu population data was missing. In current study, PowerPlex® Y23 System loci were examined in 328 unrelated Manchu male individuals from Xiuyan and Huanren Manchu autonomous counties in Liaoning province, to calculate the forensic parameters of the 23 STR loci.
