Informing the potential of mature temperate forests as natural climate solutions: Changed fine root biomass and morphology under elevated CO2

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

Dynamics of telomere length in captive Siamese cobra (Naja kaouthia) related to age and sex

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Telomeres comprise tandem repeated DNA sequences that protect the ends of chromosomes from deterioration or fusion with neighboring chromosomes, and their lengths might vary with sex and age. Here, age‐ and sex‐related telomere lengths in male and female

Spatial Dynamics of Tourism Sustainability in EU Member States

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces a synthetic indicator of tourism sustainability for the EU, bridging the gap between institutional monitoring and academic research. By applying the PROMETHEE II method to rank the 27 Member States in 2019 and 2023, the research transforms static data into a dynamic roadmap of post‐pandemic recovery. The findings reveal a

Halting the Progression of Acute Kidney Injury: A Tubular‐Inspired Reusable Detoxifier Against Protein‐Bound Uremic Toxins and Oxidative Stress

SusMat, EarlyView.
This graphical ToC illustrates a tubular‐inspired detoxifier (SDCMs–DS) that halts acute kidney injury progression. Inspired by proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs), the biomimetic design combines dissociation‐adsorption clearance of protein‐bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) with antioxidant protection. During hemoperfusion, danshensu (DS) released from

Systemic Treatment of Psoriasis: Current Evidence on Efficacy and Safety

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systemic treatments for moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis have been advanced from broad immunosuppressants up to agents more selectively targeting cytokines, cytokine receptors, or intracellular signaling. The current systemic treatments mainly consist of conventional systemic agents, biologics targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α ...

Recent progress in studies of the last million years of human physical and behavioural evolution Avancées récentes dans l’étude du dernier million d'années d’évolution physique et éthologique de l'espèce humaine

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article presents a synthesis of recent developments in the study of human evolution over the past five years. It begins with an overview of hominin species nomenclature and diversity, followed by an examination of the proposed population bottleneck ∼900,000 years ago.
