Central Asia is an important center of diversity for common walnut (Juglans regia L.). We characterized the genetic diversity of 21 wild and cultivated populations across Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. A complete threat assessment was performed evaluating the short-term threats from overexploitation, overgrazing, landslides, and fragmentati...

The authors identify two subsets of peripheral nerve macrophages residing in the endoneurium and the epineurium and displaying a distinct transcriptome and response to injury. These cells lack the main microglia identity and have a distinct origin.

Implantable scaffolds mimicking the different physicochemical attributes of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in native bone matrix have been developed for stem cell transplantation as a tailored microenvironment to direct the desired osteogenic responses. However, current approaches for the engineering of bone constructs fail to recapitulate the dyna...
Nowadays 3D bioprinting, due to its high structural reconstruction and low cost, has been a promising technology and gained expectation in the treatment of vascular diseases. Although some studies have reported that 3D printing of large-sized blood vessels in the human body has been achieved, there are still some problems to be solved urgently, suc...

In order to foster the potential of exclosures to sequester carbon, it is understood that they are increasingly assisted through enrichment planting. To study the impact of the enrichment planting on carbon sequestration process, five exclosures with enrichment planting and five pure naturally regenerated exclosures were selected. Along parallel tr...

During the exothermic gas phase activation (e.g. reduction) or passivation (oxidation) of a catalyst in a commercial scale fixed bed, the interaction of the heat wave propagation phenomenon and the (desired) exothermic gas-solid reaction(s) may give rise to local temperature excursions way beyond the adiabatic temperature rise of the reactions. Ins...
In vitro propagation of the ornamentally interesting species Wikstroemia gemmata is limited by the recalcitrance to form adventitious roots. In this article, two strategies to improve the rooting capacity of in vitro microcuttings are presented. Firstly, the effect of exogenous auxin was evaluated in both light and dark cultivated stem segments and...
