Article Synopsis
- Pollen ornamentation patterns play a crucial role in understanding plant evolution and taxonomy, but quantifying them can be challenging.
- A study analyzed the pollen characteristics of 128 flowering crabapple germplasms and developed a binary data matrix to combine qualitative and quantitative analysis.
- Findings show that ornamentation evolved from regular to irregular patterns across species and varieties, with significant changes observed in the diversity of patterns as well as a decrease in regularity in new varieties and progeny.
Long-term clinical studies of drug-eluting stents (DES) have reported high incidence of late thrombosis. Given the growing concern over the clinical application of this technology, we have developed a stent coated with bi-layered PLGA nanoparticles (BL-PLGA NPs) containing VEGF plasmid in the outer layer and paclitaxel (PTX) in the inner core (VEGF/PTX NPs). We hypothesized that early release of VEGF gene would promote re-endothelialization, while slow release of PTX would suppress smooth muscle cell proliferation.
