Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which melanocyte−specific CD8+ T cells destroy pigment−forming cells, producing persistent depigmented macules. Recurrence after treatment implicates tissue−resident memory T (TRM) cells that are maintained by interleukin−15 (IL−15) signaling. Here we rev...

The literature has sparked a debate concerning whether bilingual individuals surpass monolinguals in executive functions, a concept known as the bilingual advantage. This leads to the question of whether this purported bilingual advantage extends to those who are trilingual or multilingual. Conseque...

Cotton is a leading cash crop and ranks first in value-added crops in the United States of America. Timely and accurate information on the spatial distribution of cotton fields is vital for cotton management and production prediction. In this study, we combined hourly PhenoCam pictures and time seri...

This paper examined consumers’ experiences in and preferences for plant-based meat (PBM) food and their respective correlates, based on data from an online survey of 579 consumers in four major cities in China in early 2021. We first described consumers’ experiences in consuming and purchasing PBM f...

Mouse models serve as a means of examining immune changes when genes of interest are knocked out (KO). One group of immune gene-producing cells that have been identified is type 2 innate lymphoid cells (Ilc2). These cells are involved in the production of Th2 equivalent immune responses and signal c...

Conclusions: Our study revealed genetic association between PBC and hypothyroidism through a phenome-wide Mendelian randomization, and then, colocalization identified two potential drug targets for hypothyroidism.

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating augmented reality (AR) and concept mapping method in English vocabulary learning and proposes a design thinking-based development framework for learning systems. Grounded in mobile learning and situated learning theories, the study applies a u...

Two phenomena in the history of China’s economic growth during the last four decades are the increase in the share of off-farm employment and the progress in poverty alleviation in rural China. Although both of them have been well documented in the literature, less is known about the linkage between...

The lead-cooled fast reactor uses liquid lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) as the coolant. In accident conditions, a passive cooling system is used to remove the heat from the reactor core to avoid meltdown. Therefore, the natural circulation ability of liquid LBE directly affects the inherent safety of t...
