PlanText: Gradually Masked Guidance to Align Image Phenotypes with Trait Descriptions for Plant Disease Texts.

Plant diseases are a critical driver of the global food crisis. The integration of advanced artificial intelligence technologies can substantially enhance plant disease diagnostics. However, current methods for early and complex detection remain challenging.

Opposing Motor Memories in the Direct and Indirect Pathways of the Basal Ganglia.

Loss of dopamine neurons causes motor deterioration in Parkinson's disease patients. We have previously reported that in addition to acute motor impairment, the impaired motor behavior is encoded into long-term memory in an experience-dependent and task-specific manner, a phenomenon we refer to as aberrant inhibitory motor learning. Although normal motor learning and aberrant inhibitory learning oppose each other and this is manifested in apparent motor performance, in the present study, we found that normal motor memory acquired prior to aberrant inhibitory learning remains preserved in the brain, suggesting the existence of independent storage.

Obstetric blood transfusion in placenta previa patients with prenatal anemia: a retrospective study.

Background: The appropriate use of obstetric blood transfusion is crucial for patients with placenta previa and prenatal anemia. This retrospective study aims to explore the correlation between prenatal anemia and blood transfusion-related parameters in this population.

Methods: We retrieved the medical records of consecutive participants who were diagnosed with placenta previa and underwent cesarean section in our hospital.

Unraveling the underlying mechanism of good electrochemical performance of hard carbon in PC/EC-Based electrolyte.

Although hard carbon in propylene carbonate / ethylene carbonate (PC/EC)-based electrolytes possesses favorable electrochemical characteristics in rechargeable sodium-ion batteries, the underlying mechanism is still vague. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed to solve the puzzle, but none of them have satisfactorily unraveled the reason at the molecular-level. In this study, we firstly attempted to address this mystery through a profound insight into the disparity of the ion solvation/desolvation behavior in electrolyte.

Nanog induced intermediate state in regulating stem cell differentiation and reprogramming.

Background: Heterogeneous gene expressions of cells are widely observed in self-renewing pluripotent stem cells, suggesting possible coexistence of multiple cellular states with distinct characteristics. Though the elements regulating cellular states have been identified, the underlying dynamic mechanisms and the significance of such cellular heterogeneity remain elusive.

Results: We present a gene regulatory network model to investigate the bimodal Nanog distribution in stem cells.
