Macrophage distribution density is tightly regulated within the body, yet the importance of macrophage crowding during in vitro culture is largely unstudied. Using a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived macrophage model of tissue resident macrophages, we characterize how increasing macrophage culture density changes their morphology a...

Lac dye is a natural colorant derived mainly from the insect Kerria lacca (Kerr) and has been used in food and beverage as a red-coloring additive. Despite its increasing use for human consumption as an alternative for allergy-associated cochineal, its toxicity profile remained incomplete to sufficiently assess its safety for the intended use. In t...

The gut microbiota plays an important role in regulating the host immune systems. It is well established that various commensal microbial species can induce the differentiation of CD4+ T helper subsets such as Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells and Th17 cells in antigen-dependent manner. The ability of certain microbial species to induce either Treg ...

Salinity stress is one of the primary threats to agricultural crops resulting in impaired crop growth and development. Although cotton is considered as reasonably salt tolerant, it is sensitive to salt stress at some critical stages like germination, flowering, boll formation, resulting in reduced biomass and fiber production. The mechanism of part...

Objectives During the COVID-19 home-quarantines, home care services may act as an auxiliary component of health care system, which reduces the burden on the formal health care system. This study aimed to investigate the status of informal home care provided for home quarantined patients with COVID-19 in southwest Iran. Methods This descriptive stud...

Detecting changes in population trends depends on the accuracy of estimated mean population growth rates and thus the quality of input data. However, monitoring wildlife populations poses economic and logistic challenges especially in complex and remote habitats. Declines in wildlife populations can remain undetected for years unless effective moni...

Background: Immunotherapy has achieved remarkable success in treating advanced liver cancer. Current evidence shows that most of the available immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICB) treatments are suboptimal, and specific markers are needed for patients regarded as good candidates for immunotherapy. Necroptosis, a type of programmed cell death, plays an...

As a single matrilineal gene, human mitochondrial DNA plays a very important role in the study of population genetics. The whole mitogenome sequences of 287 individuals of the Tai-Kadai-speaking population in Guizhou were obtained. It was discovered that there were 82, 104, and 94 haplotypes in 83 Bouyei individuals, 107 Dong individuals, and 97 Su...

Otomycosis accounts for over 15% of cases of external otitis worldwide. It is common in humid regions and Chinese cultures with ear-cleaning custom. Aspergillus and Candida are the major pathogens causing long-term infection. Early endoscopic and microbiological examinations, performed by otologists and microbiologists, respectively, are important ...
