Various scenarios of measurements using a smartphone with a LiDAR sensor in the context of integration with the TLS point cloud by Janicka Joanna, Błaszczak-Bąk Wioleta

“…Smartphones with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors are increasingly used for engineering measurements. Although the processing of the acquired point clouds seems similar to the processing of point clouds measured with, for example, a terrestrial laser scanner, processing data from a smartphone requires a special approach, first of all, when it comes to methods of obtaining and registering point clouds to obtain one complete metric point cloud. …”

Induced hepatocyte-like cells derived from adipose-derived stem cells alleviates liver injury in mice infected with Echinococcus Multilocularis by Hui Liu, Xiaojuan Bi, Ning Yang, Xue Zhang, Bingbing Fang, Nuerbaiti Kusuman, Wenmei Ma, Jing Li, Jin Chu, Li Sun, Liang Li, Guodong Lü, Renyong Lin

“…Abstract Accumulating evidence has shown that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have the potential to differentiate into hepatic lineages, which are ideal engraftments for tissue-engineered repair. In this study, we investigated the potential of transplanted induced hepatocyte-like cells (iHEPs) in treating hepatic alveolar echinococcosis and describe an efficient three-step protocol for the generation of iHEPs in vitro from ADSCs. …”

Increased distribution of carbon metabolic flux during de novo cytidine biosynthesis via attenuation of the acetic acid metabolism pathway in Escherichia coli by Tong Ye, Wei Ding, Zhengxu An, Haojie Zhang, Xiaobo Wei, Junnan Xu, Huiyan Liu, Haitian Fang

“…To mitigate carbon source loss, the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technique was employed to knock out the poxB and pta genes in E. coli, generating the engineered strains K12ΔpoxB and K12ΔpoxBΔpta. After 39 h of fermentation in 500 mL shake flasks, the cytidine yields of strains K12ΔpoxB and K12ΔpoxBΔpta were 1.91 ± 0.04 g/L and 18.28 ± 0.22 g/L, respectively. …”
