Spatio-Temporal Evolution of Net Ecosystem Productivity and Its Influencing Factors in Northwest China, 1982–2022 by Weijie Zhang, Zhichao Xu, Haobo Yuan, Yingying Wang, Kai Feng, Yanbin Li, Fei Wang, Zezhong Zhang

“…The carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems is a crucial component of the global carbon cycle, and drought is increasingly recognized as a significant stressor impacting their carbon sink function. Net ecosystem productivity (NEP), which is a key indicator of carbon sink capacity, is closely related to vegetation Net Primary Productivity (NPP), derived using the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach (CASA) model. …”

Brain local structural connectomes and the subtypes of the medial temporal lobe parcellations by Zhensheng Li, Jie Ma, Hongmin Bai, Bingmei Deng, Jian Lin, Weimin Wang

“…The subtypes of the parahippocampal connectomes exhibited resemblances to those of the hippocampus.ConclusionWe have constructed the brain local connectomes of the MTL parcellations and acquired the network parameters to delineate the hubs distribution through graph theory analysis. The connectomes can be classified into different major subtypes, which were closely related to the functional connectivity.…”

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome subpopulations remained consistent for 28 culture days, displaying therapeutic effects in a silicosis mouse model by Lina Zhang, Jing Jin, Jing Jin, Liguang Sun, Gang Hou, Mingming Deng, Yiding Bian, Jianming Liu, Wei Cheng, Shaoliang Xing, Shaoliang Xing, Wenjia Wang, Xin Dong, Qingjie Fan, Lei Gao, Xinhua Lei, Xinhua Lei, Yongli Bao, Yongguang Yang

“…Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated in a silica-induced mouse silicosis model comparing intravenous and respiratory administration routes.ResultsOur findings indicate that (1) the RoosterBio exosome harvesting system in the Hollow Fiber 3D bioreactor enables 28 days production of exosomes, with stable harvesting of the main subpopulations over a certain period; (2) systemic administration via intravenous injection in rats reveals distinct tissue tropism, with isotope-labeled exosomes exhibiting predominant hepatic accumulation; and (3) in the silica-induced mouse silicosis model, respiratory delivery of exosomes significantly improves disease progression, whereas intravenous infusion of exosomes does not yield notable therapeutic effects.DiscussionThis study proposes a holistic workflow for early-stage development of natural exosomes as therapeutics, offering guidance on industrial-scale production, purification, and characterization of exosomes with stable subpopulation distribution and functional consistency. …”

A 3D Clinical Face Phenotype Space of Genetic Syndromes Using a Triplet-Based Singular Geometric Autoencoder by Soha S. Mahdi, Eduarda Caldeira, Harold Matthews, Michiel Vanneste, Nele Nauwelaers, Meng Yuan, Giorgos Bouritsas, Gareth S. Baynam, Peter Hammond, Richard Spritz, Ophir D. Klein, Michael Bronstein, Benedikt Hallgrimsson, Hilde Peeters, Peter Claes

“…Experiments are designed to illustrate the following properties of CFPSs that can aid clinicians in narrowing down their search space: a CFPS can 1) classify syndromes accurately, 2) generalize to novel syndromes, and 3) preserve the relatedness of genetic diseases, meaning that clusters of phenotypically similar disorders reflect functional relationships between genes. The proposed model consists of three main components: an encoder based on GDL optimizing distances between groups of individuals in the CFPS, a decoder enhancing classification by reconstructing faces, and a singular value decomposition layer maintaining orthogonality and optimal variance distribution across dimensions. …”
