Nephrolithiasis risk factors for obese patients on 24‐hour urine collection metabolic evaluation
Abstract Objectives Twenty‐four‐hour urine collections are obtained as part of the metabolic workup for nephrolithiasis to identify modifiable abnormalities for stone prevention. We sought to discern trends in the prevalence of abnormalities based on body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2).

During wheat infection, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici promotes cysteine export to the apoplast, where it is oxidised to cystine. The fungus then imports cystine via the PstCYN1 transporter to support its growth and quench host‐derived reactive oxygen species, thereby suppressing defence. ABSTRACT Amino acid uptake is crucial for the pathogenicity

Enantioenriched α‐/β‐/γ‐thiocarboxylic acids featuring C–S chirality are valuable targets in organic synthesis. This review outlines recent progress in their asymmetric synthesis, including chiral pool approaches, metal‐ /organo‐catalysis, and emerging biocatalytic strategies. Enantiomerically pure α‐/β‐/γ‐thiocarboxylic acids bearing a stereocentre at

ABSTRACT Here we review the historical background and contemporary insights into genetic dominance, focusing on haploinsufficiency (HI), that is, when the function of only one allele of a gene is not enough to ensure a normal phenotype in a diploid organism.
