Exosomes Derived from Endoplasmic Reticulum Stressed Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells Enhance the Antitumor Immunity of Dendritic Cells.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERs) is implicated in antitumor immunity. However, the exact role of ERs in mediating the effects of dendritic cells (DCs) is not unclear. In this study, we explored the role of exosomes derived from ER-stressed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells in the antitumor effects of DCs and the precise underlying mechanism.

A GWAS identified loci and candidate genes associated with fiber quality traits in a new cotton MAGIC population.

GWAS of a new MAGIC population containing alleles from five tetraploid Gossypium species identified novel fiber QTL and confirmed previously identified stable QTL. Identification of loci and underlying genes for fiber quality traits will facilitate genetic improvement in cotton fiber quality. In this research, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was carried out for fiber quality attributes using a new multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population consisting of 372 recombinant inbred lines (RILs).

Exact Deconfined Gauge Structures in the Higher-Spin Yao-Lee Model: A Quantum Spin-Orbital Liquid with Spin Fractionalization and Non-Abelian Anyons.

The nonintegrable higher spin Kitaev honeycomb model has an exact Z_{2} gauge structure, which exclusively identifies quantum spin liquid in the half-integer spin Kitaev model. But its constraints for the integer-spin Kitaev model are much limited, and even trivially gapped insulators cannot be excluded. The physical implications of exact Z_{2} gauge structure, especially Z_{2} fluxes, in integer-spin models remain largely unexplored.

Hemorrhage risk after coblation tonsillectomy in Chinese pediatric: a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study.

Objectives: The study aimed to assess the incidence of post-coblation tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PCTH) and identify associated risk factors in a pediatric Chinese population.

Methods: This prospective, multicenter cohort study, conducted over 17 months, included 8854 pediatric patients who underwent coblation tonsillectomy across 15 research centers in China. Patient data were collected through an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system.

Uniformly dispersing SbSe nanoparticles in porous carbon as an anode material for enhancing sodium storage capacity.

About 60 nm SbSe nanoparticles are uniformly embedded in a porous carbon substrate to prepare a SbSe/C composite through a combination of pyrolysis reduction and solid-phase selenization. The SbSe/C anode exhibits excellent sodium storage capacity. The initial discharge capacity is up to 420 mA h g at 0.
