Spatial transcriptomics reveals novel genes during the remodelling of the embryonic human arterial valves. by Rachel Queen, Moira Crosier, Lorraine Eley, Janet Kerwin, Jasmin E Turner, Jianshi Yu, Ahlam Alqahtani, Tamilvendhan Dhanaseelan, Lynne Overman, Hannah Soetjoadi, Richard Baldock, Jonathan Coxhead, Veronika Boczonadi, Alex Laude, Simon J Cockell, Maureen A Kane, Steven Lisgo, Deborah J Henderson

“…We show that ST can be used to investigate the transcriptome of the developing arterial valves, circumventing the problems of accurately dissecting out these tiny structures from the developing embryo. We show that the transcriptome of CS16 and CS19 arterial valves overlap considerably, despite being several days apart in terms of human gestation, and that expression data confirm that the great majority of the most differentially expressed genes are valve-specific. …”

A Review of IoT and Machine Learning for Environmental Optimization in Aeroponics by Muhammad Amjad, Elanchezhian Arulmozhi, Yeong-Hyeon Shin, Moon-Kyung Kang, Woo-Jae Cho

“…However, aeroponics faces critical challenges in irrigation management due to non-standardized structures and limited real-time control. A key limitation is the inability to dynamically respond to temperature (T), relative humidity (RH), light intensity (L_i), electrical conductivity (EC), pH, and photosynthesis rate (P_n), resulting in suboptimal crop yields and resource wastage. …”
