Published: August 2018

To investigate the difference in the disinfectant efficiency of ozone microbubbles (OMB) and ozone millibubbles (OMMB), the morphological change of the treated f. sp. spores was observed with scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM and TEM). The disinfectant efficiency of OMB on f. sp. spores was greater than that of OMMB. On observation with SEM, it was revealed that morphological change of f. sp. spores was caused by OMB and OMMB, and damage to the spore surfaces by OMB occurred sooner than that by OMMB. On observation with TEM, it was furthermore confirmed that f. sp. spores treated with OMB induced wavy deformation of cell membrane and the intracellular change different from that with OMMB. Therefore, the greater disinfection efficiency of OMB was suggested to be caused due to the function of the MB in addition to the oxidative power of O.

Understanding the tumor hypoxic microenvironment is crucial for grasping tumor biology, clinical progression, and treatment responses. This study presents a novel application of AI in computational histopathology to evaluate hypoxia in breast cancer. Weakly Supervised Deep Learning (WSDL) models can accurately detect morphological changes associated with hypoxia in routine Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) whole slide images (WSI).

The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) gene family comprises some of the most critical transporter proteins in plants, playing vital roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis and adapting to environmental changes. While ABC transporters have been extensively characterized in various plant species, their profile in C. mollissima remains less understood.

Astrocytes exhibit diverse cellular and molecular properties across the central nervous system (CNS). Recent studies identified region-specific transcription factors (TF) that oversee these diverse properties; how sex differences intersect with region-specific transcriptional programs to regulate astrocyte function is unknown. Here, we show that the TF Nkx6.
