Endophytic Fungus Drives Nodulation and N₂ Fixation Attributable to Specific Root Exudates

mBio, 2019
Endophytic fungi play important roles in the modification of ecosystem productivity; however, the underlying mechanisms are only partly understood. A 2-year field plot experiment verified that the endophytic fungus Phomopsis liquidambaris increased ...

Five decades of N2 fixation research in the North Atlantic Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015
Dinitrogen (N2) fixation (the reduction of atmospheric N2 to ammonium by specialized prokaryotic microbes), represents an important input of fixed nitrogen and contributes significantly to primary productivity in the oceans.

Hydrides mediate nitrogen fixation

Cell Reports Physical Science, 2022
Summary: The fixation of atmospheric dinitrogen to ammonia is crucial for the sustainable growth of human society. The reduction of N2 to NH3 needs the inputs of electrons and hydrogens, which could be supplied by hydridic hydrogens. Hydrides are thus at

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

Symbioses between cyanobacterial communities and feather mosses in boreal forests and consequences for dinitrogen fixation [PDF]

, 2013
Feather moss-cyanobacteria associations, although still poorly understood, are recognised as essential for the regulation of nitrogen (N) input into N-limited ecosystems such as boreal forests due to their ability to carry out N2-fixation.

UCYN-A/haptophyte symbioses dominate N2 fixation in the Southern California Current System. [PDF]

, 2021
The availability of fixed nitrogen (N) is an important factor limiting biological productivity in the oceans. In coastal waters, high dissolved inorganic N concentrations were historically thought to inhibit dinitrogen (N2) fixation, however, recent N2 ...

Flash Assembloids: A Rapid Biofabrication of a Platform for Modeling Early Glioblastoma Invasion at the Glioblastoma–Brain Organoid Interfaces

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a bioengineered assembloid (ASM) system combining glioblastoma (GBM) cells in oxidized alginate (OA) microgels with dorsal organoids (DOs). This model simulates brain tumor‐host interactions, revealing enhanced GBM invasion, altered gene expression, and aggressive infiltration patterns, demonstrating ASM as a valuable platform for ...

A global dataset of nitrogen fixation rates across inland and coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Biological nitrogen fixation is the conversion of dinitrogen (N2) gas into bioavailable nitrogen by microorganisms with consequences for primary production, ecosystem function, and global climate.

Dissolved Organic Matter Influences N2 Fixation in the New Caledonian Lagoon (Western Tropical South Pacific)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Specialized prokaryotes performing biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation (“diazotrophs”) provide an important source of fixed nitrogen in oligotrophic marine ecosystems such as tropical and subtropical oceans. In these waters, cyanobacterial photosynthetic

Standardized Effect Measures Informing Next‐Generation Strategies for Mechanical Stimulation in Cartilage Tissue Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This systematic review quantitatively compares conventional mechanical stimulation strategies in cartilage tissue engineering across 85 heterogeneous in vitro studies. Applying standardized effect measures, meta‐analysis reveals that combined compression and shear loading optimally promotes cartilage matrix development.
