Abstract Background The advent of human-induced pluripotent stem cells holds great promise for producing ample individualized hepatocytes.Although previous efforts have succeeded in generating hepatocytes from human pluripotent stem cells in vitro by viral-based expression of transcription factors and/or addition of growth factors during the differ
Information on the impact of salinity of irrigation water on soil moisture and salt content is scant in the literature.Therefore, in the present study, growth of sorghum as well as soil moisture and salt content were investigated as affected by irrigation water salinity.In this experiment, the effect of three salinity levels of irrigation water, i.
In terrestrial landscapes, the spectral variability hypothesis (SVH) enables estimation of species diversity from satellite data, thereby allowing biodiversity assessments to be upscaled.Whether the SVH works in the marine realm is an open question.To answer it, we tested the ability of this hypothesis to retrieve coral reef fish biodiversity from
