MAZUS DANXIACOLA (MAZACEAE), A DISTINCT NEW SPECIES ENDEMIC TO DANXIA LANDFORM IN JIANGXI PROVINCE, EASTERN CHINA

Mazus danxiacola (Mazaceae), a distinct new species endemic to Danxia landform in Jiangxi Province, eastern China

Mazus danxiacola, a new species endemic to Danxia landform in east Jiangxi Province, eastern China, is described and illustrated.The systematic placement of this new species was confirmed by molecular phylogenetic analyses based on four plastid markers (matK, Jandy AquaLink TCX Parts rbcL, rps16 and trnL-trnF) and nuclear ribosome ITS sequence, and

Enhanced radiosensitivity and chemoradiation efficacy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma via a dual-targeted SPION@polymer hybrid nanosensitizer

Abstract Cisplatin-based nanoparticles show good potential in enhancing the effect of nasopharynx carcinoma (NPC) therapy but are still limited by their low radiation sensitization and poor tumor targeting ability.Herein, Jandy AquaLink TCX Parts an ingenious design of multifunctional superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION)@polymer hybrid

Immunodominant T-cell epitopes from the SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen reveal robust pre-existing T-cell immunity in unexposed individuals

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a range of disease phenotypes in infected patients with asymptomatic, mild, or severe clinical outcomes, but the mechanisms that determine such variable outcomes remain unresolved.In this study, we identified immunodominant CD8 T-cell epitopes in the spike antigen using a novel TCR-binding algorithm.The p
