Two ratiometric near-infrared fluorescent probes have been developed to selectively detect mitochondrial pH changes based on highly efficient through-bond energy transfer (TBET) from cyanine donors to near-infrared hemicyanine acceptors. The probes consist of identical cyanine donors connected to different hemicyanine acceptors with a spirolactam…[Read more]

Atmospheric oxygen is thought to have played a vital role in the evolution of large, complex multicellular organisms. Challenging the prevailing theory, we show that the transition from an anaerobic to an aerobic world can strongly suppress the evolution of macroscopic multicellularity. Here we select for increased size in multicellular…[Read more]

001), especially in RMPP group (p = 0.021). Therefore, the elevated expansion of TFH cells and the increased secretion of IL-21 cytokine may contribute to the pathogenesis of childhood MPP, while its excessive response may be associated with the development of childhood RMPP. Key Words TFH cells, IL-21, Children, Mycoplasma pneumoniae…[Read more]
