Specific root length regulated the rhizosphere effect on denitrification across distinct macrophytes

Geoderma
Macrophytes influence nitrogen (N) removal from wetlands. However, the specific plant traits responsible for this effect and the related microbial mechanisms remain largely unknown, especially root traits.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

The conversion of natural wetlands to paddy fields affects net ecosystem carbon fluxes by restructuring the coupling between soil microbial communities and physicochemical properties

Ecological Processes
Background Natural wetlands serve as important global carbon sinks and play a critical role in regulating greenhouse gas emissions. However, the widespread conversion of wetlands into paddy fields has raised concerns, and its impacts on ecosystem net ...

From atoms to ecosystems: elementome diversity meets ecosystem functioning [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2021
SummaryThe elemental composition of plants (the elementome) is a reliable indicator of their functional traits and the ecological strategies that they follow, and thus represents a good predictor of how ecosystems work. Biodiversity and, especially, functional diversity are also widely recognized as important drivers of ecosystem functioning, mainly ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Shorebirds Affect Ecosystem Functioning on an Intertidal Mudflat

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Ecosystem functioning and services have provided a rationale for conservation over the past decades. Intertidal muddy sediments, and the microphytobenthic biofilms that inhabit them, perform crucial ecosystem functions including erosion protection ...

A function-based typology for Earth’s ecosystems

Nature, 2022
AbstractAs the United Nations develops a post-2020 global biodiversity framework for the Convention on Biological Diversity, attention is focusing on how new goals and targets for ecosystem conservation might serve its vision of ‘living in harmony with nature’1,2.

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Lipid droplets sequester palmitic acid to disrupt endothelial ciliation and exacerbate atherosclerosis in male mice

Nature Communications
Disruption of ciliary homeostasis in vascular endothelial cells has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. However, the molecular basis for the regulation of endothelial cilia during atherosclerosis remains poorly understood.

De-extinction beyond species: Restoring ecosystem functionality through large herbivore rewilding

Cambridge Prisms: Extinction
This perspective positions rewilding as a novel approach to ecosystem restoration, emphasising the restoration of natural processes to create self-willed ecosystems.
