Ionic Liquid Engineered Defect-Driven Green Emitting Zero-Dimensional CsPbBr Microdisks.

Quantum-confined perovskites represent an emerging class of materials with great potential for optoelectronic applications. Specifically, zero-dimensional (0D) perovskites have garnered significant attention for their unique excitonic properties. However, achieving phase-pure, size-tunable 0D perovskite materials and gaining a clear understanding of their photophysical behavior remains challenging.

The endoplasmic reticulum autophagy receptor TEX264 drives epidermal differentiation and is dysregulated in Darier disease.

Differentiating keratinocytes break down their organelles and nuclei to become the compacted cornified layers of the epidermal barrier in a poorly understood catabolic process. Live confocal imaging of stratified human organotypic epidermis revealed endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fragmentation and lysosomal engulfment in the cornifying layers, where we found up-regulation of TEX264, a receptor that mediates selective autophagy of the ER (reticulophagy). TEX264 expression was increased by ER stress, which caused precocious cornification of organotypic epidermis.

Interferon-γ release assay.

Traditionally, tuberculosis (TB) has been viewed as having two distinct manifestations, known as TB infection (TBI) and TB disease. The spectrum, however, has recently been expanded to include the elimination of TBI with the help of innate and/or adaptive immunity, TBI, incipient and subclinical TB disease, and TB disease. Epidemiologically speaking, identifying individuals with TBI is critical since diagnosis and treatment of TBI are essential in controlling the TB burden.

Genome-wide identification and functional characterization of magnesium transporter (MGT) gene family in soybean (Glycine max L.) and their expression profiles in response to aphid infestation, dehydration, and salt stresses.

The divalent cation, Magnesium (Mg2+), is an essential mineral element for plant growth and development. Magnesium transporter (MGT) plays a vital role in maintaining Mg2 + homeostasis within plant cells. Although extensive research has been conducted in several crop species, no comprehensive study has yet been carried out on the MGT gene family in soybean (Glycine max L.
