Microfluidic device for simple diagnosis of plant growth condition by detecting miRNAs from filtered plant extracts

This paper develops a microfluidic device to detect miR399 in plant extracts for early diagnosis of phosphorus deficiency stress.

Chronic BCR signaling generates and maintains age-associated B cells from anergic B cells

This study shows chronic BCR signaling generates and maintains age-associated B cells from anergic B cells, and Btk inhibition reduces ABCs and lupus pathogenicity.

Upregulated Fcrl5 disrupts B cell anergy and causes autoimmunity

This study shows that upregulated Fcrl5 disrupts B cell anergy, leading to autoimmunity by activating autoreactive B cells and exacerbating autoimmune disease models.

Exploratory mass cytometry analysis reveals immunophenotypes of cancer treatment-related pneumonitis

The paper uses mass cytometry to analyze immune cell subsets in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with PCP, DI-ILD, and ICI-ILD, revealing distinct immunophenotypes associated with each condition.

Mass cytometry identifies characteristic immune cell subsets in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from interstitial lung diseases

The paper uses mass cytometry to identify distinct immune cell subsets in BALF from ILD patients, revealing disease-specific immune signatures.

Stem cell therapy for skin regeneration using mesenchymal stem cells derived from the progeroid Werner syndrome-specific iPS cells

This study evaluates the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells derived from Werner syndrome-induced pluripotent stem cells in treating skin ulcers, finding reduced angiogenic potential and improved healing with VEGF supplementation.

Physiological determinants of the increase in oxygen consumption during exercise in individuals with stroke

This study identifies physiological determinants of oxygen consumption increase during exercise in stroke patients using multivariate analysis of respiratory, cardiac, and skeletal muscle parameters.
