Windblown dust in the Tarim basin, Northwest China. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Tarim Basin in western China is home to the world's second-largest mobile dune desert, Taklimakan Desert, and it's one of Asia's primary sources of sand and dust storm. Observations of windblown dust are insufficient over this hyper-dry inland region. Here we present a comprehensive study based on consecutive in-situ field observations, meteorological ...

The genomic origins of the Bronze Age Tarim Basin mummies. [PDF]

Nature, 2021
AbstractThe identity of the earliest inhabitants of Xinjiang, in the heart of Inner Asia, and the languages that they spoke have long been debated and remain contentious1. Here we present genomic data from 5 individuals dating to around 3000–2800 bc from the Dzungarian Basin and 13 individuals dating to around 2100–1700 bc from the Tarim Basin ...

A Mouse Model for Studying Stem Cell Effects on Regeneration of Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheaths

Open Life Sciences, 2020
Stem cells hold promise for treating hair loss. Here an in vitro mouse model was developed using outer root sheaths (ORSs) isolated from hair follicles for studying stem cell-mediated dermal papillary regeneration.

Paleomagnetic Study of Mesozoic Continental Sediments Along the Northern Tien Shan (China) and Heterogeneous Strain in Central Asia [PDF]

, 1991
A paleomagnetic study of rocks from the northern foot of the Tien Shan and the southern border of the Dzungar Basin, east of Urumqi (44.2°N, 86.0°E), spanning ages from middle Jurassic to early Tertiary was carried out to constrain the tectonic evolution

Reconstruction of the proto-type basin and tectono-paleographical evolution of Tarim in the Cenozoic

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Tarim Basin is the largest sedimentary basin in China, and it has experienced a complex tectonic evolutionary history. Reconstruction of the proto-type basin and tectono-paleogeography is helpful to understand the different stages of evolution of the
