Deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of lichen acids
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Depsides and depsidones are polyketide‐derived lichen acids widely distributed in lichen thalli, yet the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for their production remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we investigated the diversity and evolutionary relationships of polyketide BGCs in lichens.

Toll Like Receptor 4: A Potential Link Between Obesity and Metabolic Diseases
Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Epidemiological evidence shows that obesity increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases. Nevertheless, the mechanisms behind this connection remain underappreciated. The substantial impact of these disorders on global health has led to extensive research efforts aimed at identifying the pathophysiological links between them.

Defense Systems and Prophage Detection in Streptococcus mutans Strains
Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although the species is extensively studied, limited data are available on antiphage defense systems (APDSs) in Streptococcus mutans. The present study aimed to explore the diversity and the occurrence of APDSs and to search for prophages in the genomes of clinical isolates of S. mutans using bioinformatics tools.

Iron homeostasis in the annual and perennial stem zones of Arabis alpina
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Iron accumulates in secondary growth tissues in the perennial stem zone and is correlated with particular gene expression patterns in the perennial model plant Arabis alpina. Abstract Plants store nutrients, including the micronutrient iron, in bioavailable forms to support growth in subsequent seasons. The perennial lifestyle is preponderant in nature.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Altered wildfire regimes, exacerbated by unsustainable management, threaten natural ecosystem recovery post‐fire. Effective restoration requires timely fire impact assessments and tailored, evidence‐based management. While fire databases and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) frameworks partially support decision‐making, a ...

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Gollum Channel System is a land‐detached large‐scale canyon‐channel system situated offshore southwest Ireland on the Northeast Atlantic margin. The system has been considered inactive with downslope gravity flows since the last glacial period, but geophysical data in some of its branches do suggest Holocene activity.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the biotic and abiotic influences on the deposition and diagenesis of recent microbial carbonates is crucial for addressing the environmental and ecological significance of ancient organosedimentary structures. This study investigates these factors and their expression in the microstructure of Holocene tufa thrombolites from a ...

Function Art: Linking Mathematics, Technology, and Visual Arts
School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigated students' understanding of mathematical functions and strategies to create artwork using GeoGebra. It was framed by the principles of constructionism and examined how students use functions in creating artworks. We gathered data from students' artworks using the Algebra view and the Construction Protocol in the GeoGebra
