Single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals the developmental trajectory and transcriptional regulatory networks of quinoa salt bladders.

Salt bladders, specialized structures on the surface of quinoa leaves, secrete Na to mitigate the effects of the plant from abiotic stresses, particularly salt exposure. Understanding the development of these structures is crucial for elucidating quinoa's salt tolerance mechanisms. In this study, we employed transmission electron microscopy to detail cellular differentiation across the developmental stages of quinoa salt bladders.

Bile acid profiling as an effective biomarker for staging in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.

Rapid and accurate clinical staging of pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is crucial to determine the appropriate therapeutic approach. This study aimed to identify effective, convenient biomarkers for staging IBD in pediatric patients. We recruited cohorts of pediatric patients with varying severities of IBD to compare the features of the intestinal microbiota and metabolites between the active and remitting disease stages.

Multi-view clustering via multi-manifold regularized non-negative matrix factorization.

Non-negative matrix factorization based multi-view clustering algorithms have shown their competitiveness among different multi-view clustering algorithms. However, non-negative matrix factorization fails to preserve the locally geometrical structure of the data space. In this paper, we propose a multi-manifold regularized non-negative matrix factorization framework (MMNMF) which can preserve the locally geometrical structure of the manifolds for multi-view clustering.
