In recent years, the exploration of genome three-dimensional (3D) conformation has yielded profound insights into the regulation of gene expression and cellular functions in both animals and plants. While animals exhibit a characteristic genome topology defined by topologically associating domains (TADs), plants display similar features with a more diverse conformation across species. Employing advanced high-throughput sequencing and microscopy techniques, we investigated the landscape of 26 histone modifications and RNA polymerase II distribution in tomato ().

Dental dose cannot be predicted from heterogeneous IMRT dose distributions; mandibular dose metrics cannot guide dentist avulsion decisions in high-risk ORN situations. Using a mapping tool to report dental root dose, avulsions, and ORN sites, we re-examined ORN risk factors in a case-control study.

We developed DERO (Dosimetric Evaluation of Risk of ORN), a semi-automatic tool which reports doses delivered to tooth-bearing sectors, to guide post-therapeutic dental care.

A comparison of different processing methods demonstrates that Spark Plasma Sintering is the most effective sintering process to yield high density ceramic with high permittivity. We compare this sintering process with two other processes.
