All multicellular organisms undergo senescence, but the continuous division of the vascular cambium in plants enables certain tree species to survive for hundreds or even thousands of years. Previous studies have focused on the development of the vascular cambium, but the mechanisms regulating age-related changes remain poorly understood. This study investigated age-related changes in the vascular cambium of trees aged 50 to 350 years.

Paratuberculosis (PTB), primarily caused by subsp. (MAP), is a chronic infection that affects ruminants and is difficult to prevent, diagnose, and treat. Investigating how MAP infections affect the gut microbiota in sheep can aid in the prevention and treatment of ovine PTB.

Distinguished by its exceptional sensitivity and specificity, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a pivotal technology for pathogen detection. However, traditional PCR instruments that employ thermoelectric cooling (TEC) are often constrained by cost, efficiency, and performance variability resulting from the fluctuations in ambient temperature. Here, we present a thermal cycler that utilizes electromagnetic induction heating at 50 kHz and anti-freezing water cooling with a velocity of 0.

With advancements in small-scale research fields, precision manipulation has become crucial for interacting with small objects. As research progresses, the demand for higher precision in manipulation has led to the emergence of ultrahigh-precision engineering (UHPE), which exhibits significant potential for various applications. Traditional rigid-body manipulators suffer from issues like backlash and friction, limiting their effectiveness at smaller-scale applications.
