Using imaging spectroscopy to assess the impacts of invasive plants on aboveground and belowground characteristics

Invasive plants are threats to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and services.Previous studies have reported that the impacts of biological invasions on ecosystem characteristics can be scale- and ecosystem-dependent.Current methods to assess the impacts of biological invasions have mainly focused on traditional field observations, limiting the

The herpes virus Fc receptor gE-gI mediates antibody bipolar bridging to clear viral antigens from the cell surface.

The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein gE-gI is a transmembrane Fc receptor found on the surface of infected cells and virions that binds human immunoglobulin G (hIgG).gE-gI can also participate in antibody bipolar bridging (ABB), a process by which the antigen-binding fragments (Fabs) of the IgG COLOR SEALER bind a viral antigen while the
