Matrigel inhibits elongation and drives endoderm differentiation in aggregates of mouse embryonic stem cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Stem cell‐based embryo models (SCBEMs) are valuable to study early developmental milestones. Matrigel, a basement membrane matrix, is a critical substrate used in various SCBEM protocols, but its role in driving stem cell lineage commitment is not clearly defined.

Rodent-mediated seed dispersal of Korean pine in forest gaps: The importance of fine-scale spatial heterogeneity of understory vegetation

Ecological Indicators, 2022
During the restoration of secondary forests in Northeast China, it is critically important to promote seed recruitment of Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis), which is highly dependent on rodents and significantly affected by spatially heterogeneous ...

Environment sensing in spring-dispersed seeds of a winter annual Arabidopsis influences the regulation of dormancy to align germination potential with seasonal changes [PDF]

, 2014
Seed dormancy cycling plays a crucial role in the lifecycle timing of many plants. Little is known of how the seeds respond to the soil seed bank environment following dispersal in spring into the short-term seed bank before seedling emergence in autumn.

Mesoporous Silica Microspheres by Super‐Fast Alkaline Etching of Micrometer‐Sized Stöber Particles

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Microscale silica particles are prepared along with a modified, scalable Stöber synthesis using the continuous addition of tetraethoxy silane to an ethanolic solution of ammonia with KCl. Etching with hydroxide ions at 95 °C gave porous analogs within minutes. Monodisperse particles are isolable in high yield after precipitation in ethanol.
