Spatial and Temporal Variability Management for All Farmers: A Cell-Size Approach to Enhance Coffee Yields and Optimize Inputs.

Plants (Basel)

January 2025

Laboratory of Precision Agriculture (LAP), Department of Biosystems Engineering, "Luiz de Queiroz" College of Agriculture (ESALQ), University of São Paulo (USP), Piracicaba 13418-900, São Paulo, Brazil.

Coffee yield exhibits plant-level variability; however, due to operational issues, especially in smaller operations, the scouting and management of coffee yields are often hindered. Thus, a cell-size approach at the field level is proposed as a simple and efficient solution to overcome these constraints. This study aimed to present the feasibility of a cell-size approach to characterize spatio-temporal coffee production based on soil and plant attributes and yield (biennial effects) and to assess strategies for enhanced soil fertilization recommendations and economic results.

Recent developments in single-cell multi-omics technologies have provided the ability to identify diverse cell types and decipher key components of the tumor microenvironment (TME), leading to important advancements toward a much deeper understanding of how tumor microenvironment heterogeneity contributes to cancer progression and therapeutic resistance. These technologies are able to integrate data from molecular genomic, transcriptomic, proteomics, and metabolomics studies of cells at a single-cell resolution scale that give rise to the full cellular and molecular complexity in the TME. Understanding the complex and sometimes reciprocal relationships among cancer cells, CAFs, immune cells, and ECs has led to novel insights into their immense heterogeneity in functions, which can have important consequences on tumor behavior.

All-Fiber Micro-Ring Resonator Based p-Si/n-ITO Heterojunction Electro-Optic Modulator.

Materials (Basel)

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Radio Frequency Heterogeneous Integration, International Collaborative Laboratory of 2D Materials for Optoelectronics Science and Technology, Institute for Advanced Study in Nuclear Energy & Safety, Interdisciplinary Center of High Magnetic Field Physics of Shenzhen University, College of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China.

With the rapid advancement of information technology, the data demands in transmission rates, processing speed, and storage capacity have been increasing significantly. However, silicon electro-optic modulators, characterized by their weak electro-optic effect, struggle to balance modulation efficiency and bandwidth. To overcome this limitation, we propose an electro-optic modulator based on an all-fiber micro-ring resonator and a p-Si/n-ITO heterojunction, achieving high modulation efficiency and large bandwidth.

Department of Gastric Surgery, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, State Key Laboratory of Oncology in South China, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Guangzhou 510060, China.

In the field of digestive system tumor research, spatial transcriptomics technologies are used to delve into the spatial structure and the spatial heterogeneity of tumors and to analyze the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the inter-cellular interactions within it by revealing gene expression in tumors. These technologies are also instrumental in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of digestive system tumors. This review provides a concise introduction to spatial transcriptomics and summarizes recent advances, application prospects, and technical challenges of these technologies in digestive system tumor research.

Endometrial cancer (EC), a prevalent gynecological malignancy, presents significant challenges due to its genetic complexity and heterogeneity. The genomic landscape of EC is underpinned by genetic alterations, such as mutations in PTEN, PIK3CA, and ARID1A, and chromosomal abnormalities. The identification of molecular subtypes-POLE ultramutated, microsatellite instability (MSI), copy number low, and copy number high-illustrates the diverse genetic profiles within EC and underscores the need for subtype-specific therapeutic strategies.
