ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a human neglected tropical disease in which dogs participate as reservoirs of the etiological agent Leishmania chagasi. The identification of infected dogs is important to the control of VL, and recombinant proteins are strong antigen candidates for canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) serodiagnosis. In this work,

Chagas disease in Canadian blood donors: 15 years of selective testing
Abstract Background and Objectives Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi), prevalent in Mexico, Central and South America, can be transfusion‐transmitted. Selective serological testing of blood donors was implemented over 15 years ago. We describe the trends in infections and characteristics of donors selected for testing.

Diagnostic value of BTG2 and its immunoregulatory mechanism in IgAN. This study reveals that BTG2 improves immune microenvironment dysregulation, attenuates inflammation, and reduces fibrosis by promoting the expansion of T follicular helper cells, inducing macrophage polarization toward an M2 anti‐inflammatory phenotype, and inhibiting the TGF‐β1 ...

In this systematic review and meta‐analysis of seven studies involving 1366 patients, elevated T‐wave amplitude variability (TAV) was associated with a 2.5‐fold higher risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. These findings support TAV as a marker of ventricular repolarization instability for long‐term risk stratification.

ABSTRACT Four new species of Ibaloniinae harvestmen are described from the Solomon Islands, Melanesia. Based on the original diagnosis of Euibalonius Roewer, 1915, and description of E. maculatus (Roewer, 1915), this material appeared related to that genus. However, examination of syntype photographs of the type species E.

Abstract Automated insect identification systems hold significant value for biodiversity monitoring, pest management, citizen science initiatives and systematic studies, particularly in an era of declining expertise in insect taxonomy. However, current deep learning approaches often rely on standardized specimen photos from limited‐angles and ...
