Identification of Oil Palm's Consistently Upregulated Genes during Early Infections of via RNA-Seq Technology and Real-Time Quantitative PCR.

Basal stem rot (BSR) disease caused by pathogenic fungus is a significant concern in the oil palm industry. infection in oil palm induces defense-related genes. To understand oil palm defense mechanisms in response to fungal invasion, we analyzed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) derived from RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) transcriptomic libraries of oil palm roots infected with A total of 126 DEGs were detected from the transcriptomic libraries of -infected root tissues at different infection stages.

High Dose of Intravenous Allogeneic Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (CLV-100) Infusion Displays Better Immunomodulatory Effect among Healthy Volunteers: A Phase 1 Clinical Study.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) express growth factors and other cytokines that stimulate repair and control the immune response. MSCs are also immunoprivileged with low risk of rejection. Umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UCMSCs) are particularly attractive as an off-the-shelf allogeneic treatment in emergency medical conditions.
