In vitro generation of neuromesodermal progenitors reveals distinct roles for wnt signalling in the specification of spinal cord and paraxial mesoderm identity.

Cells of the spinal cord and somites arise from shared, dual-fated precursors, located towards the posterior of the elongating embryo.Here we show that these neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) can readily be generated in vitro from mouse and human pluripotent stem cells by activating Wnt and Fgf signalling, timed to emulate in vivo development.Simi

Effects of Shear Stress and Salinity Stratification on Floc Size Distribution During the Dry Season in the Modaomen Estuary of the Pearl River

The floc size distribution of fine cohesive sediments in estuaries varies spatiotemporally within assorted physical, chemical, and biological factors.However, the distribution of different floc fractions that are affected by shear stress and salinity stratification has not yet been thoroughly investigated.This study intends to clarify the floc size
