The status quo in a healthy gut is related to a constant balance between the resident macrophages and inflammatory mononuclear phagocytes (Mphs) that is critical for maintaining and ensuring protective immunity. How colonic microenvironment influences the inflammatory MPh infiltration is not well defined and represents a fundamental gap in the understanding of homeostatic immune function and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) developmentThe research team led by Dr. WANG Qingqing with the...

The nanocrystal has captured immense attention among scientists in recent years and is expected to distinguish itself in the domains of display, illumination and detection in the future. Nonetheless, since its inception in the 1980s, the microscopic appearance of this future “superstar”, in particular the surface chemistry of the organic ligand, has remained elusive. Scientists can depict its rough “configuration”, but its details are based on pure guesswork. This therefore hampers the ...
