Orchids have evolved flowers with unique morphologies through coevolution with pollinators, such as insects.Among the floral organs, the lip (labellum), one of the three petals, exhibits a distinctive shape and plays a crucial role in attracting pollinators and facilitating pollination in many orchids.The lip of the terrestrial orchid Habenaria rad
Spatial Distribution and Predictive Significance of Dendritic Cells and Macrophages in Esophageal Cancer Treated With Combined Chemoradiotherapy and PD-1 Blockade
BackgroundThe first clinical study (NCT03671265) of first-line chemoradiotherapy combined with PD-1 blockade showed promising treatment outcomes in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).However, partial patients did not respond to the combination treatment.The roles of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages in this combination t

exploding cluster dynamics probed by XUV fluorescence
Clusters excited by intense laser pulses are a unique source of warm dense matter, that has been the subject of intensive experimental studies.The majority of plastic cover these investigations concern atomic clusters, whereas the evolution of molecular clusters excited by intense laser pulses is less explored.In this work we trace the dynamics of
