Plant detection and counting from high-resolution RGB images acquired from UAVs: comparison between deep-learning and handcrafted methods with application to maize, sugar beet, and sunflower crops

This paper compares deep-learning and handcrafted methods for plant detection and counting in UAV-acquired RGB images of maize, sugar beet, and sunflower, finding that deep learning outperforms handcrafted methods, especially with weed management improvements.

Large-scale in-vitro production of red blood cells from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

This study develops a scalable method to produce red blood cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, achieving high yields and functional maturity comparable to in vivo cells.

Polyfunctional tumor-reactive T cells are effectively expanded from non-small cell lung cancers, and correlate with an immune-engaged T cell profile

The paper isolates and expands tumor-reactive T cells from NSCLC tumors, finding that polyfunctional T cells correlate with immune-engaged T cell profiles and tumor reactivity.
