ABSTRACT Alpine sandy land on the Tibetan Plateau is fragile, with poorly developed soils, low nutrient availability, and weak biological resilience. Vegetation restoration is widely used to improve soil functioning, yet how microbial nutrient limitation and life‐history strategies vary among restoration modes remains unclear.

ABSTRACT Optimized fertilization involving reduced mineral N input and organic substitution can alter resource stoichiometry, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, how fertilization‐induced resource imbalance reshapes microbial community to regulate CUE and NUE remains unclear. We conducted a field experiment

ABSTRACT Biochar is widely recognized as a promising amendment for enhancing soil carbon sequestration and microbial functioning, yet how biochar properties and application levels jointly influence potential microbial nutrient limitation and estimated microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) remains unclear, especially in tropical farmland soils.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Goose herbivory alters soil microbial community functional potential in a sub‐Arctic wetland
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory alters below‐ground resource dynamics via direct and indirect mechanisms, yet its effects on microbial functional potential remain poorly understood. This limits our understanding of the mechanisms that link animal, plant and microbial functional roles in ...

Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...
