Effect of Dry–Wet Cycling on Methanotrophs in Wetland Soils

Biology
Wetlands occupy a mere 6% of Earth’s land surface, yet they contribute 25–45% of global natural methane (CH4) emissions. A key contradiction emerges here: it is the soil of these wetlands that serves as the host for methane-trophic microorganisms, which can oxidize the vast majority of the methane they produce under specific conditions (for example ...

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Cracking of silty mudstone subjected to wetting-drying cycles

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Cracking affected by wetting-drying cycles is a major cause of shallow failure of soft rock slopes. Knowledge of rock tensile properties and cracking behaviors helps better assess the stability of soft rock slopes. This study aims to examine the cracking

Effect of Drying-Wetting Cycles on Engineering Properties of Expansive Soils Modified by Industrial Wastes

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
The swelling properties of expansive soils can be reduced by the addition of modifiers. Nevertheless, the performance deterioration after modification occurs when weathering for a long term.

Plasma EV Proteomics Identifies ECM Remodeling and Inflammatory Proteins LUM and C7 as Candidate Biomarkers in FSHD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most debilitating and common muscular dystrophies. Despite its severity, no approved therapy exists for FSHD patients. However, several therapeutic candidates are currently under development, and some have recently entered clinical trials, marking the need for reliable ...

Microstructure Reconstruction in Battery Electrodes Using Machine Learning Based on Low‐Voltage Focused Ion Beam–Scanning Electron Microscopy Tomography Images

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐voltage FIB‐SEM tomography combined with a image preprocessing pipeline improves phase contrast and enables reliable machine‐learning segmentation of conductive networks in lithium‐ion battery electrodes. Structural descriptors are extracted from segmented images, done semimanually and automated, and compared.
