ABSTRACT Seagrass beds are increasingly degraded; however, their protection and restoration are still confined to localized marine areas, making it difficult to establish connectivity between differently protected and restored areas. One limiting factor is the lack of understanding of the processes...

A free space vortex light generator is designed based on the diffraction of an optical Bessel beam. The Bessel beam propagating in a single mode fiber is modulated by a helical phase disk designed at the fiber end and gradually evolves to vortex light in free space. The properties of the generator s...

Background: We aimed to identify stromal cells associated with liver metastasis of gastric cancer (GC). Methods: We downloaded single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets for GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues (NT), as well as liver metastases (LM) and healthy liver tissues (HL) from GEO. Ad...
