Background: It is well-known that Dendritic cells (DCs) are essential in the development of airway Th2 polarization and airway allergy (AA). The underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. The objective of this study is to examine the role of methyltransferase-like protein-5 (Mettl5), a methyltransferase involved in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation, in altering DC's properties to facilitate the development of Th2 polarization and AA.

Avocado is a type of tropical fruit tree with high economic value. Most avocado cultivars delete, wither, or even die when exposed to heat stress for a long time, which seriously restricts the introduction and cultivation of avocados.

Background: Improvement is needed in the remedies used to control Th2 polarization. Bioengineering approaches have modified immune cells that have immunosuppressive functions. This study aims to generate modified eosinophils (Meos) in vivo and use Meos to balance Th2 polarization and reduce airway allergy.

The primary diagnosis method is fluorescence microscopic inspection, but manual inspection is inefficient and can lead to false detection or missed detection. Automatic cell identification and localization in microscopic images are necessary.

Codon usage bias (CUB) is a critical feature for studying gene function and evolution, which can provide a better understanding of biological gene regulation. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the CUB patterns of the nuclear genome, chloroplast genome, and gene expression, as well as systematic evolution of species.

Most studies indicate that good personal relationships are generally positively correlated with academic performance. However, few studies have compared how different types of personal relationships correlate with academic performance, and the conclusions of existing studies are inconsistent.

Designing organic fluorescent and phosphorescent materials based on various core fluorophore has gained great attention, but it is unclear whether similar luminescent units exist for inorganic materials. Inspired by the BX octahedral structure of luminescent metal halide perovskites (MHP), here we propose that the BX octahedron may be a core structure for luminescent inorganic materials. In this regard, excitation-dependent color-tunable phosphorescence is discovered from α-AlF featuring AlF octahedron.

Through both experimental and theoretical investigations, the through-space conjugation of the lone pair n electrons of N/O atoms in EDTA was identified as the origin of RTP.

Recently, organic materials capable of emitting long-lived room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) are reported, carbon skeletons are almost the exclusive structural feature of the conjugated luminophores. Herein, we reported that boric acid, a non-metal and C-free material, could emit RTP with lifetime up to 0.

In this study, we established and validated a polymerase spiral reaction (PSR) assay which targeted the conserved invasion gene (A) of by SYBR Green I indicator methods. Subsequently, assays for determination of the optimal conditions for optimal specificity and sensitivity of PSR were performed.

A hybrid process of absorption combined with electrochemical oxidation to degrade ethanethiol was investigated. The ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM]BF) was employed as an absorbent to capture ethanethiol from the air stream.
