1Effect of Cyclocarya paliurus polysaccharides on streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy in rats显示文摘OBJEVTIVE:To investigate the efficacy of Cyclocarya paliurus(C.paliurus)polysaccharides on streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy in rats.METHODS:Rats were divided into 6 groups,including group of normal control,group of diabetic control,group of metformin treatment,low-dose group of C.paliurus polysaccharides treatment,middle-dose group of C.paliurus polysaccharides treatment and high-dose group of C.paliurus polysaccharides treatment.Histological analysis of kidney was analyzed using hematoxilin and eosin.Levels of blood glucose,creatinine,urea,uric acid were determined by spectrophotometry.Anti-oxidative enzymes were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Advanced glycation end products(AGEs)and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)level was measured by ELISA.RESULTS:Abnormal changes were observed in the group of diabetic control characterized by atrophy of the renal glomeruli with hypercellularity,congestion of glomerular tufts,dilation of the renal spaces,and degeneration of renal tubule.Compared with that of normal group,blood glucose,creatinine,urea,uric acid level was significantly increased in the group of diabetic control.Superoxide dismutase,catalase,glutathione peroxidase,glutathione reductase level was significantly decreased,but AGEs and TGF-β1 level was significantly increased.By contrast,administration of C.paliurus polysaccharides and metformin could reverse the above-mentioned results of the group of diabetic control,especially in the high-dose group of C.paliurus polysaccharides.CONCLUSION:Our findings suggest that C.paliurus polysaccharides may play a protecting role for nephropathy of diabetic rats by lowering glucose,creatinine,urea,uric acid level,enhancing the antioxidative ability,and reducing AGEs and TGF-β1 expression.Xia Xichao Mao Dongxue Dai Hongmei Wu Xi Zhang Zuyuan Wang Huaying Zhou Wenwen Dong Yanmei Wang Mengqi Li Yuan Shao Xiangyang Ouyang Jingfeng 2020Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2020,40,6:9
2How do Chinese medicines that tonify the kidney inhibit dopaminergic neuron apoptosis?显示文摘Wistar rats were intragastrically perfused with Chinese medicines used for tonifying the kidney.These included 0.180 g/mL of Herba Epimedii(Epimedium), Semen Cuscutae(Dodder Seed), or Herba Cistanches(Desertliving Cistanche), 0.04 mg/mL monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor selegiline,or distilled water for 14 consecutive days to prepare drug-containing serum or blank serum.MES23.5 cells in the logarithmic phase were cultured in media supplemented with 15%drug-containing serum for 24 hours, followed by incubation in culture solution containing 100 μmol/L H2O2for 3 hours. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) and flow cytometry results showed that all drug-containing serums improved the survival rate of H2O2-injured MES23.5 cells, inhibited pro-apoptotic FasL and caspase-3 expression, promoted anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 expression. However, drug-containing serums had little influence on Fas expression in H2O2-injured MES23.5 cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results showed that serum containing Herba Cistanches or Herba Epimedii increased the expression of nerve growth factor,brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor in injured MES23.5cells; serum containing Semen Cuscutae only increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression; while expression of the above neurotrophic factors remained the same in cells treated with serum containing selegiline. These findings indicate that Chinese medicines used to tonify the kidney can protect nerve cells by regulating the expression of apoptosis-related factors and neurotrophic factors in MES23.5 cells.Shaogang Lin Shuifen Ye Jinmu Huang Yun Tian Yihui Xu Mengqi Wu Jingxia Wang Songying Wu Jing Cai 2013Neural Regeneration Research2013,8,30:9
3Hierarchical activation of compartmentalized pools of AMPK depends on severity of nutrient or energy stress显示文摘AMPK, a master regulator of metabolic homeostasis, is activated by both AMP-dependent and AMP-independent mechanisms. The conditions under which these different mechanisms operate, and their biological implications are unclear. Here, we show that, depending on the degree of elevation of cellular AMP, distinct compartmentalized pools of AMPK are activated, phosphorylating different sets of targets. Low glucose activates AMPK exclusively through the AMP-independent, AXIN-based pathway in lysosomes to phosphorylate targets such as ACC1 and SREBP1c, exerting early anti-anabolic and pro-catabolic roles. Moderate increases in AMP expand this to activate cytosolic AMPK also in an AXIN-dependent manner. In contrast, high concentrations of AMP, arising from severe nutrient stress, activate all pools of AMPK independently of AXIN. Surprisingly, mitochondrion-localized AMPK is activated to phosphorylate ACC2 and mitochondrial fission factor (MFF) only during severe nutrient stress. Our findings reveal a spatiotemporal basis for hierarchical activation of different pools of AMPK during differing degrees of stress severity.Yue Zong Chen-Song Zhang Mengqi Li Wen Wang Zhichao Wang Simon A.

4In-Situ Preparation and Thermal Shock Resistance of Mullite-Cordierite Heat Tube Material for Solar Thermal Power显示文摘In order to improve the thermal shock resistance of solar thermal heat transfer tube material, the mullite-cordierite composite ceramic as solar thermal heat transfer tube material were fabricated by pressureless sintering using α-Al2O3 , Suzhou kaolin, talc, and feldspar as starting materials. The important parameter for solar thermal transfer tube such as water absorption (Wa ), bulk density (Db ), and the mechanical properties were investigated. The phase composition and microstructure of the composite ceramics were analyzed by XRD and SEM. The experimental results show that the B3 sintered at 1 300 ℃ and holding for 3 h has an optimum thermal shock resistance. The bending strength loss rate of B3 is only 2% at 1 100℃ by air quenching-strength test and the sample can endure 30 times thermal shock cycling, and the water absorption, the bulk density and the bending strength are 0.32%, 2.58 g·cm-3 , and 125.59 MPa respectively. The XRD analysis indicated that the phase compositions of the sample were mullite, cordierite, corundum, and spinel. The SEM images illustrate that the cordierite is prismatic grain and the mullite is nano rod, showing a good thermal shock resistance for composite ceramics as potential solar thermal power material.徐晓虹 MA Xionghua WU Jianfeng CHEN Ling XU Tao ZHANG Mengqi 2013Journal of Wuhan University of Technology(Materials Science)2013,28,3:6
5Analyses of oligodontia phenotypes and genetic etiologies显示文摘Oligodontia is the congenital absence of six or more teeth and comprises the more severe forms of tooth agenesis.Many genes have been implicated in the etiology of tooth agenesis,which is highly variable in its clinical presentation.The purpose of this study was to identify associations between genetic mutations and clinical features of oligodontia patients.An online systematic search of papers published from January 1992 to June 2021 identified 381 oligodontia cases meeting the eligibility criteria of causative gene mutation,phenotype description,and radiographic records.Additionally,ten families with oligodontia were recruited and their genetic etiologies were determined by whole-exome sequence analyses.We identified a novel mutation in WNT10A(c.99_105dup)and eight previously reported mutations in WNT10A(c.433 G>A;c.682 T>A;c.318 C>G;c.511.C>T;c.321 C>A),EDAR(c.581 C>T),and LRP6(c.1003 C>T,c.2747 G>T).Collectively,20 different causative genes were implicated among those 393 cases with oligodontia.For each causative gene,the mean number of missing teeth per case and the frequency of teeth missing at each position were calculated.Genotype–phenotype correlation analysis indicated that molars agenesis is more likely linked to PAX9 mutations,mandibular first premolar agenesis is least associated with PAX9 mutations.Mengqi Zhou Hong Zhang Heather Camhi Figen Seymen Mine Koruyucu Yelda Kasimoglu Jung-Wook Kim Hera Kim-Berman Ninna M.R.Yuson Paul J.Benke Yiqun Wu Feng Wang Yaqin Zhu James P.Simmer Jan C-C.Hu 2021International Journal of Oral Science2021,13,3:5
6Macroporous 3D carbon-nitrogen(CN)confined MoO_(x) catalyst for enhanced oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene显示文摘Macroporous 3D carbon doped with nitrogen confined Mo catalyst(MoO_(x)@CN)had been prepared by a facile one-step pyrolysis technique using silica as a template and was employed for oxidative desulfurization(ODS)of dibenzothiophene(DBT)in model fuel with H2O_(2) as oxidant.The effect of different ope rating conditions(i.e.,reaction te mperature and time,catalyst dosage,H2O_(2)/DBT(O/S)molar ratio)were also systematic investigated.Under the optimal reaction condition,MoO_(x)@CN catalyst exhibited highly excellent ODS performance toward DBT,the highest sulfur removal efficiency can be up to 99.9%and sulfur content was wiped out from 800 ppm to 10 ppm.Due to the robust 3D structure promoting rapid transfer,in addition to the increased number of active sites induced by the Mo vacancies,the catalyst,prepared using chitosan and ammonium heptamolybdate in a mass ratio of 1:0.5,displayed rapid kinetics and low activation energy in the oxidation of dibenzothiophene.Moreover,it exhibited excellent recyclability after five cycles without any obvious decrease in catalytic activity for the oxidative desulfurization reaction.Jinmei Ye Jie Wen Dongdong Zhao Peilun Zhang Airong Li Lianhong Zhang Hui Zhang Mengqi Wu 2020Chinese Chemical Letters2020,31,10:3
7Unraveling specific role of carbon matrix over Pd/quasi-Ce-MOF facilitating toluene enhanced degradation显示文摘Metal organic frameworks(MOFs)derivatives represented by quasi-MOFs have excellent physical and chemical properties and can be applied for the catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds(VOCs).In this work,Pd/quasi-Ce-BTC synthesized by simple one-step Npyrolysis was applied to the oxidation of toluene,showing excellent toluene catalytic activity(T_(90)=175℃,30000 mL/(g·h)).Microscopic analyses indicate the formation and interaction of a carbon matrix composite quasi-MOF structure interface.The results show that the amorphous carbon matrix formed during the partial pyrolysis of Ce-BTC significantly improves the adsorption and activation capacity of toluene in the reaction,and constructs a reductive system to maintain high concentrations of Ce^(3+)and Pd^(0),which can facilitate the activation and utilization of oxygen in reaction.Quasi in-situ XPS proves that carbon matrix is indirectly involved in the activation and storage of oxygen,and Pd^(0)is the crucial active site for the activation of oxygen.Stability and water resistance tests display good stability of Pd/quasi-Ce-BTC.This work provides a potential method for designing quasi-MOF catalysts towards VOCs effective abatement.Chunjing Su Zhi Li Mengqi Mao Wenhua Ye Jinping Zhong Quanming Ren Hairong Cheng Haomin Huang Mingli Fu Junliang Wu Yun Hu Daiqi Ye Haihong Xu 2022Journal of Rare Earths2022,40,11:2

9A New Indicator for Global Food Security Assessment: Harvested Area Rather Than Cropland Area显示文摘Cropland area has long been used as a key indicator of food security.However,grain yield is not solely controlled by the area of the cropland.Therefore,we proposed a new indicator to assess food security.Results show that from 1992 to 2004,the global cropland area increased by 840200 km^(2)(99.4%),but the grain yield increased only by 310 million t(29.1%);and from 2004 to 2015,the cropland area decreased by 39000 km^(2)(4.64%),but the grain yield increased by 370 million t(70.84%).This result showed that grain yield was not linearly correlated with cropland area,and delimiting the threshold of cropland protection may not guarantee food security.Combined with further correlation analysis,we found that the increase in the global grain yield was more closely related to the harvested area(R^(2)=0.94),which indicated that the harvested area is a more scientific and accurate indicator than cropland area in terms of guaranteeing food security.Therefore,if governments want to ensure the food security,they should choose a new and more accurate indicator:harvested area rather than cropland area.SONG Fengjiao WANG Shijie BAI Xiaoyong WU Luhua WANG Jinfeng LI Chaojun CHEN Huan LUO Xuling XI Huipeng ZHANG Sirui LUO Guofeng YAN Mengqi ZHEN Qingqing 2022Chinese Geographical Science2022,32,2:2
10RHOBTB3 promotes proteasomal degradation of HIFa through facilitating hydroxylation and suppresses the Warburg effect显示文摘Chen-Song Zhang Qi Liu Mengqi Li Shu-Yong Lin Yongying Peng Di Wu Terytty Yang Li Qiang Fu Weiping Jia Xinjun Wang Teng Ma Yue Zong Jiwen Cui Chengfei Pu Guili Lian Huiling Guo Zhiyun Ye Sheng-Cai Lin 2015Cell Research2015,25,9:2
11Identification of serum metabolites enhancing inflammatory responses in COVID-19显示文摘Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19),caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2),is characterized by a strong production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF and IL-6,which underlie the severity of the disease.However,the molecular mechanisms responsible for such a strong immune response remains unclear.Here,utilizing targeted tandem mass spectrometry to analyze serum metabolome and lipidome in COVID-19 patients at different temporal stages,we identified that 611 metabolites(of 1,039)were significantly altered in COVID-19 patients.Among them,two metabolites,agmatine and putrescine,were prominently elevated in the serum of patients;and 2-quinolinecarboxylate was changed in a biphasic manner,elevated during early COVID-19 infection but levelled off.When tested in mouse embryonic fibroblasts(MEFs)and macrophages,these 3 metabolites were found to activate the NF-κB pathway that plays a pivotal role in governing cytokine production.Importantly,these metabolites were each able to cause strong increase of TNF and IL-6 levels when administered to wildtype mice,but not in the mice lacking NF-κB.Intriguingly,these metabolites have little effects on the activation of interferon regulatory factors(IRFs)for the production of type I interferons(IFNs)for antiviral defenses.These data suggest that circulating metabolites resulting from COVID-19 infection may act as effectors to elicit the peculiar systemic inflammatory responses,exhibiting severely strong proinflammatory cytokine production with limited induction of the interferons.Our study may provide a rationale for development of drugs to alleviate inflammation in COVID-19 patients.Chen-Song Zhang Bingchang Zhang Mengqi Li Xiaoyan Wei Kai Gong Zhiyong Li Xiangyang Yao Jianfeng Wu Cixiong Zhang Mingxia Zhu Lei Zhang Xiufeng Sun Yi-Hong Zhan Zhengye Jiang Wenpeng Zhao Wei Zhong Xinguo Zhuang Dawang Zhou Hai-Long Piao Sheng-Cai Lin Zhanxiang Wang 2022Science China(Life Sciences)2022,65,10:1

13Interleukin-13 promotes cellular senescence through inducing mitochondrial dysfunction in IgG4-related sialadenitis显示文摘Immunoglobulin G4-related sialadenitis(IgG4-RS)is an immune-mediated fibro-inflammatory disease and the pathogenesis is still not fully understood.The aim of this study was to explore the role and mechanism of interleukin-13(IL-13)in the cellular senescence during the progress of IgG4-RS.We found that the expression of IL-13 and IL-13 receptorα1(IL-13Rα1)as well as the number of senescent cells were significantly higher in the submandibular glands(SMGs)of IgG4-RS patients.IL-13 directly induced senescence as shown by the elevated activity of senescence-associatedβ-galactosidase(SA-β-gal),the decreased cell proliferation,and the upregulation of senescence markers(p53 and p16)and senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP)factors(IL-1βand IL-6)in SMG-C6 cells.Mechanistically,IL-13 increased the level of phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 6(p-STAT6)and mitochondrial-reactive oxygen species(mt ROS),while decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential,ATP level,and the expression and activity of superoxide dismutase 2(SOD2).Notably,the IL-13-induced cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction could be inhibited by pretreatment with either STAT6 inhibitor AS1517499 or mitochondria-targeted ROS scavenger Mito TEMPO.Moreover,IL-13 increased the interaction between p-STAT6 and c AMP-response element binding protein(CREB)-binding protein(CBP)and decreased the transcriptional activity of CREB on SOD2.Taken together,our findings revealed a critical role of IL-13 in the induction of salivary gland epithelial cell senescence through the elevated mitochondrial oxidative stress in a STAT6–CREB–SOD2-dependent pathway in IgG4-RS.Mengqi Zhu Sainan Min Xiangdi Mao Yuan Zhou Yan Zhang Wei Li Li Li Liling Wu Xin Cong Guangyan Yu 2022International Journal of Oral Science2022,14,3:1
14Overexpression of PvWOX3a in switchgrass promotes stem development and increases plant height显示文摘Switchgrass(Panicum virgatum L.)is an important perennial,noninvasive,tall ornamental grass that adds color and texture to gardens and landscapes.Moreover,switchgrass has been considered a forage and bioenergy crop because of its vigorous growth,low-input requirements,and broad geography.Here,we identified PvWOX3a from switchgrass,which encodes a WUSCHEL-related homeobox transcription factor.Transgenic overexpression of PvWOX3a in switchgrass increased stem length,internode diameter,and leaf blade length and width,all of which contributed to a 95%average increase in dry weight biomass compared with control plants.Yeast one-hybrid and transient dual-luciferase assays showed that PvWOX3a can repress the expression of gibberellin 2-oxidase and cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase through apparently direct interaction with their promoter sequences.These results suggested that overexpression of PvWOX3a could increase gibberellin and cytokinin levels in transgenic switchgrass plants,which promotes cell division,elongation,and vascular bundle development.We also overexpressed PvWOX3a in a transgenic miR156-overexpressing switchgrass line that characteristically exhibited more tillers,thinner internodes,and narrower leaf blades.Double transgenic switchgrass plants displayed significant increases in internode length and diameter,leaf blade width,and plant height but retained a tiller number comparable to that of plants expressing miR156 alone.Ultimately,the double transgenic switchgrass plants produced 174%more dry-weight biomass and 162%more solubilized sugars on average than control plants.These findings indicated that PvWOX3a is a viable potential genetic target for engineering improved shoot architecture and biomass yield of horticulture,fodder,and biofuel crops.Ruijuan Yang Zhenying Wu Chen Bai Zhichao Sun Mengqi Wang Yuzhu Huo Hailing Zhang Yamei Wang Huapeng Zhou Shaojun Dai Wenwen Liu Chunxiang Fu 2021Horticulture Research2021,8,1:1
15Impact of Economic Development Levels and Disaster Types on the Short-Term Macroeconomic Consequences of Natural Hazard-Induced Disasters in China显示文摘The relationship between natural hazard-induced disasters and macroeconomic growth has been examined widely on global and national scales, but little research has been focused on the subnational level, especially in China.We examined the impacts of natural hazard-induced disasters on the regional growth in China based on subnational panel data for the period from 1990 to 2016. First, we used the number of people affected and the direct economic losses as the measures of the scale of disasters. Then, we used the direct damages of meteorological disasters and earthquakes as disaster measures separately to examine the impacts of different disaster types. Finally, we performed intraregional effects regressions to observe the spatial heterogeneity within the regions. The results show that the adverse short-term effects of disasters is most pronounced in the central region, while the direct damage of disasters is a positive stimulus of growth in the whole of China.However, this stimulus is observed in a lagged way and is reflected differently—meteorological disasters in central and eastern China and earthquakes in western China are related to regional growth. The results demonstrate that the short-term macroeconomic impacts of these disasters in the three geographical regions of China largely depend on regional economic development levels and the disaster types.Rumei Tang Jidong Wu Mengqi Ye Wenhui Liu 2019International Journal of Disaster Risk Science2019,10,3:1
16JAG1 enhances angiogenesis in triple-negative breast cancer through promoting the secretion of exosomal lncRNA MALAT1显示文摘Despite significant improvements in five-year survival rates due to early diagnosis and combination therapy, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment remains a major challenge. Finding new and effective targets for diagnosis and drug therapy is urgent for TNBC patients. Jagged-1 (JAG1), one of the canonical ligands of the Notch signaling pathway, is involved in vascular budding and is a poor prognostic factor of TNBC. In this study, combined with quantitative real-time PCR, database analysis, animal experiments, and other means, JAG1 was confirmed to be related to the poor prognosis of TNBC patients. JAG1 was highly expressed in MDA-MB-231 Bone (231B) cells, with stronger invasion and metastasis ability than MDA-MB-231 (231) cells. Treatment of human vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) with TNBC conditioned medium showed that TNBC JAG1 promoted the angiogenesis of HUVEC. Next, we detected the exosomes extracted from TNBC conditioned medium and found that JAG1 promoted the exosome secretion from 231 cells via ALIX-RAB11A/RAB35. In addition, we also found that the exosomes from JAG1 overexpressed TNBC cells contained more long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MALAT1 , and MALAT1 promoted angiogenesis of HUVEC by targeting miR-140-5p . Finally, the angiogenesis-promoting effect of JAG1 in TNBC was further investigated by matrix gel assay. In conclusion, we reveal that JAG1 has a pro-invasion effect on TNBC and is involved in microenvironment angiogenesis by promoting exosome secretion and the MALAT1-miR-140-5p-JAG1/VEGFA pathway.Junping Liu Yutong Shi Minmin Wu Fengmei Zhang Mengqi Xu Zhiqiang He Min Tang 2023Genes & Diseases2023,10,5:1
17Duality of the fatigue behavior and failure mechanism in notched specimens of Ti-7Mo-3Nb-3Cr-3Al alloy显示文摘An interesting phenomenon of dual S-N fatigue behavior is investigated in a metastable β titanium alloy,Ti-7 Mo-3 Nb-3 Cr-3 Al notched cylindrical specimens with an elastic stress concentration factor of Kt=3.Fractographic studies revealed all specimens,and irrespective of lifetime,failed from the specimen surface because of stress concentration occurs at the notch root.Typically,the short-life-distribution is usually associated with surface-failure-without-facets and the long-life-distribution generally occurs due to surface-failure-with-facets.This competing failure leads to increasing the variability in fatigue lifetime and further facilitates the difficulty in prediction of fatigue lifetime.Crack-initiation area characterization was conducted by using mechanical grinding,focused ion beam milling and subsequent electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD) analysis of the 2 D section across faceted grains.Results show that the α_p particles(especially the elongated α_p particles) well-oriented for basal slip activation is a preferential fatigue-critical microstructural configuration.Additionally,the β+α_s matrix has a higher KAM value than the α_p particles in fatigued microstructures and significant dislocation activity in the form of dislocation tangles is observed in α_p boundaries.Zhihong Wu Hongchao Kou Nana Chen Mengqi Zhang Ke Hua Jiangkun Fan Bin Tang 2020Journal of Materials Science & Technology2020,47,15:0

19Structural insights reveal the specific recognition of meiRNA by the Mei2 protein显示文摘In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe,Mei2,an RNA-binding protein essential for entry into meiosis,regulates meiosis initiation.Mei2 binds to a specific non-coding RNA species,meiRNA,and accumulates at the sme2 gene locus,which encodes meiRNA.Previous research has shown that the Mei2 C-terminal RNA recognition motif(RRM3)physically interacts with the meiRNA 5'region in vitro and stimulates meiosis in vivo.However,the underlying mechanisms still remain elusive.We first employed an in vitro crosslinking and immunoprecipitation sequencing(CLIP-seq)assay and demonstrated a preference for U-rich motifs of meiRNA by Mei2 RRM3.We then solved the crystal structures of Mei2 RRM3 in the apo form and complex with an 8 mer RNA fragment,derived from meiRNA,as detected by in vitro CLIP-seq.These results provide structural insights into the Mei2 RRM3-meiRNA complex and reveal that Mei2 RRM3 binds specifically to the Uuc(U)sequence.Furthermore,a structure-based Mei2 mutation,Mei2F644A causes defective karyogamy,suggesting an essential role of the RNA-binding ability of Mei2 in regulating meiosis.Siyuan Shen Yanze jian Zhaokui Cai Fudong Li Mengqi Lv Yongrui Liu Jihui Wu Chuanhai Fu Yunyu Shi 2022Journal of Molecular Cell Biology2022,14,5:0
20A modular hierarchical array camera显示文摘Array cameras removed the optical limitations of a single camera and paved the way for high-performance imaging via the combination of micro-cameras and computation to fuse multiple aperture images.However,existing solutions use dense arrays of cameras that require laborious calibration and lack flexibility and practicality.Inspired by the cognition function principle of the human brain,we develop an unstructured array camera system that adopts a hierarchical modular design with multiscale hybrid cameras composing different modules.Intelligent computations are designed to collaboratively operate along both intra-and intermodule pathways.This system can adaptively allocate imagery resources to dramatically reduce the hardware cost and possesses unprecedented flexibility,robustness,and versatility.Large scenes of real-world data were acquired to perform human-centric studies for the assessment of human behaviours at the individual level and crowd behaviours at the population level requiring highresolution long-term monitoring of dynamic wide-area scenes.Xiaoyun Yuan Mengqi Ji Jiamin Wu David JBrady Qionghai Dai Lu Fang 2021Light(Science & Applications)2021,10,4:0
