Tomb of Yu Hong 592-598 CE. Link to my blog at bottom with more sources and description of individual images.

This is probably a Sogdian tomb. Interestingly, the man has a haplogroup that was widespread amongst the blue-eyed Mesolithic/Neolithic Western Hunter Gatherers (WHG are probably where blue eyes originated from) and the haplogroup is found today most prominently in Sami, Finns, and Estonians. His wife has a haplogroup found prominently amongst East Asians. Based on her East Asian origins and the inclusion of some Turkic-looking people in the tomb's artwork I would assume she was probably a Turk, herself. The long-haired men without halos (e.g. panel 4) are probably Turks, that was a typical appearance for them during this time period. Men from other surrounding populations such as the Sogdians, Huns, Tocharians, etc. typically kept shorter hair that didn't go past their shoulders. More info:

"The man buried in the tomb went by Yu Hong (Chinese: 虞弘; pinyin: Yú Hóng; Wade–Giles: Yü Hung; 533–592 AD), with Mopan (莫潘) as his courtesy name, who was a Central Asian, probably of Persian or Sogdian origin, and practiced Zoroastrianism. He had settled in Early Middle Period China during the Northern Qi, Northern Zhou and Sui dynasties. This tomb is so far the only archaeological find in the Central Plains region that reflects Central Asian (Western Regions) culture. The epitaph found in the tomb records that he was a noble of the city of Yü-ho-lin / Yuhelin (尉紇驎) in the mysterious Yu country (魚國), assumably for which he is named, because the two characters 虞 and 魚 are homophones.

According to the epitaph, Yu Hong started his career in service of the nomadic tribe at the time, known as Ruru. At the age of 13, he was posted as an emissary to Persia by the Khagan of Ruru, as well as Parthia, Tuyuhun and Yuezhi. Later he went on a mission to the Northern Qi, Northern Zhou and Sui dynasties. He served as chien-chiao sa-pao fu / jianjiao sabao fu (檢校薩保府, lit. “acting director of the office of Zoroastrian affairs”, or “Sogdian affairs”) during the Northern Zhou period. The term sa-pao / sabao (薩保) comes from the Sogdian s′rtp′w, means a “caravan leader”.

He had later served as a provincial governor in the Sui dynasty government, a chieftain of the Central Asian people who had settled in China during that period. Yu Hong died at the age of 59 in 592 AD. His wife survived him by six years, and was buried in the same grave in 598 AD.

A study on ancient DNA reveals that Yu Hong belonged to the haplogroup U5, one of the oldest western Eurasian-specific haplogroups, while his wife can be classified as haplogroup G, the type prevalent in East Asia.

The age of U5 is estimated at between 25,000 and 35,000 years old, roughly corresponding to the Gravettian culture. Approximately 11% of Europeans (10% of European-Americans) have some variant of haplogroup U5.

U5 was the predominant mtDNA of mesolithic Western Hunter Gatherers (WHG) [this is where blue eyes probably originated from].

U5 has been found in human remains dating from the Mesolithic in England, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, France and Spain. Neolithic skeletons (~7,000 years old) that were excavated from the Avellaner cave in Catalonia, northeastern Spain included a specimen carrying haplogroup U5.

Haplogroup U5 and its subclades U5a and U5b today form the highest population concentrations in the far north, among Sami, Finns, and Estonians. However, it is spread widely at lower levels throughout Europe. This distribution, and the age of the haplogroup, indicate individuals belonging to this clade were part of the initial expansion tracking the retreat of ice sheets from Europe around 10,000 years ago.

U5 was the main haplogroup of mesolithic European hunter gatherers. U haplogroups were present at 83% in European hunter gatherers before influx of Middle Eastern farmer and steppe Indo-European ancestry decreased its frequency to less than 21%.

Today, haplogroup G is found at its highest frequency in indigenous populations of the lands surrounding the Sea of Okhotsk. It is an East Asian haplogroup. Haplogroup G is one of the most common mtDNA haplogroups among modern Ainu, Siberian, Mongol, Tibetan and Central and North Asian Turkic peoples people (as well as among people of the prehistoric Jōmon culture in Hokkaidō). It is also found at a lower frequency among many other populations of East Asia, Central Asia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. However, unlike other mitochondrial DNA haplogroups typical of populations of northeastern Asia, such as haplogroup A, haplogroup C, and haplogroup D, haplogroup G has not been found among indigenous peoples of the Americas."

Vegan Mushroom Dumplings | Recipe by Mary’s Test Kitchen

These mushroom dumplings are bursting with savory flavour. Shiitake mushrooms impart a rich, distinct flavour, while wood ear fungus add texture and napa cabbage and carrots give the dumplings juicy sweetness. The ingredients are pretty common in vegetarian Chinese cooking, but for good reason. These dumplings are perfect as a dish for dim sum or just keep them in your freezer for convenient…

Construction and characterization of regulated cycle inhibiting factors induced upon Tet-On system in human colon cancer cell lines

A previous study has proven that cycle inhibiting factors (Cifs) inhibit Cullin E3 ubiquitin ligases, resulting in cell cycle arrest. More importantly, Cifs are also involved in cancer progression by deamidating Nedd8. Here we aimed to explore a novel insight into the treatment implications of Cifs in colon cancers by Tet-on system. The anticancer activity of Cif by doxycycline induction was investigated in the colon cell lines based upon Tet-On system. The expression of Cif in the colon cancer cells was determined by western blot. Furthermore, the cell viability and flow cytometry analysis were respectively performed to evaluate the cell proliferation and survival of colon cells. More importantly, the p21 and p27 levels were also evaluated after the induction of Cif with Tet-On system. Multiple clones of colon cancer cells for doxycycline-regulated Cif expression were constructed for maintenance purposes including HCT116 and SW480 cell lines. The result of western blot displayed good inducibility of expressing Cif in the cell lines. The clones with CifWT preserved their transformed phenotype compared with the control group (clones with GFP or with CifC/A), in terms of the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and survival. Furthermore, western blot analysis showed that p27 and p21 were accumulated in the clones with CifWT, compared with the colon cancer cell lines with GFP or with CifC/A. Using the Tet-On system, we developed an efficient approach toward generation of colon cancer cells induced with Cif. These engineered colons tightly controlled Cif expression in vitro, which is a good inducible model system for cancer treatment. *Liang Liu and Jianjiao Ni contributed equally to the writing of this article.

London's Best Dumplings

London loves dumplings, and we're not just talking about dim sum. Most countries have their own version of stuffed dough. These are some of our favourites. Hakkasan This is what you'd term 'special occasion dim sum' because a) it's expensive and b) it's intricate. Some may argue it isn't worth the money, but we think every Londoner should try this style at least once. The dumpling skins are almost impossibly fine and they often come in fun, creative shapes like miniature pumpkins. The one consistent problem here is the service... we do wish they'd be a little less snooty. 8 Hanway Place, W1T | 17 Bruton Street, W1J Source Hakkasan Mayfair Source Hakkasan Mayfair Little Georgia This is among one of the tastiest and best value Georgian restaurants in London. Cheesy khachapuri breads, nutty salads, blinis and hearty stews all feature on a regularly changing menu. Portions are large, but there’s a finesse in the place of the stodge that can be found at lesser Eastern European joints. We love their dumplings as you can probably guess - look out for khinkali, thick, soupy meat dumplings, flavoured with black pepper. 87 Goldsmiths Row, E2 | 14 Barnsbury Road, N1 Yauatcha This is the place to go if you're into xiao long bao, or Chinese soup dumplings. King crab and pork broth fill the siew long bun (different name, same dumpling) and they're some of the best in town. Just be careful to let them cool sufficiently before attempting to eat them, whole, or your next stop could be St. Thomas' A & E. 15-17 Broadwick Street, W1F | Broadgate Circle Source yauatcha Source yauatcha Silk Road The dumplings at Silk Road are made fresh every evening and, if you walk past at the right time you'll see a lady sat under a lamp, pleating like her life depends on it. The prawn and leek are delicately flavoured, the flavour of both seafood and vegetable coming through, while grilled five spiced beef versions are immensely satisfying, chewy bottomed and richly flavoured. 49 Camberwell Church Street, SE5 Source timeout Source bobbydowza Beijing Dumpling A short walk from Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden, this Chinatown institution is the place to go for Beijing dumplings. Freshly made by hand every day, what they may lack in elegance, they more than make up for in flavour. We love the vegetarian jianjiao or fried dumplings (£6 for eight pieces) but you can also order boiled dumplings (£5 for eight pieces). It is a popular spot at lunchtime and the big green, formica topped tables are big enough to share when it gets busy. There are forks for children who haven't mastered the art of chopsticks yet and plenty of drinks to choose from (but the toilets have a habit of being out of order which you might want to bear in mind with small children in tow). 23 Lisle Street, WC2H Source chinatown Source tripadvisor Rainbo Homemade Gyoza Rainbo Street Food Truck is known for turning out box after box of vibrantly hued, tasty yet fortifying food. Their gyoza boxes come with either pork or veggie gyoza and we prefer the latter, their mixture of tofu and shiitake mushroom consistently hitting the umami sweet spot. They come alongside a set of brightly coloured salads, meaning your dumpling craving is sated, but you don't feel like you've missed out on a 'proper' lunch.

Fillings are slightly more inventive and seasonal than other dumpling pedlars. You'll find seasonal greens for example, alongside anything else artist/designer Meihui Liu fancies. Source Source My Neighbours The Dumplings There's a delicacy and fragrance about the dumplings here which you'll struggle to find elsewhere. So often it seems that prawn dumplings in particular are over-steamed to the point of ping pong bounciness. Here, the care is discernable in every bite. 165 Lower Clapton Road, E5 Source instagram Source my neighbours Dumpling Shack There are few things as fine to eat as a plate of Chinese dumplings and Dumpling Shack at Broadway Market make some of the best. Their soft, pleated bundles come with fillings like pork and crab soup, or eight-hour braised beef short rib. They also look fantastic, their pudgy pleats gleaming all over Instagram.
