BIOME cohort: Multi‐system microbiome dynamics and clinical outcomes in massive burn injury patients

iMeta, EarlyView.
Massive burn injuries (MBIs) are associated with high mortality and disability rates, primarily due to microbial‐driven sepsis from extensive skin barrier loss and subsequent scar formation. This makes MBI a compelling model for studying multi‐system microbial dysbiosis following skin barrier destruction.

Biocrusts alter the effects of long-term warming on soil respiration in a dryland ecosystem

Geoderma
Climate warming is expected to have contrasting impacts on soil respiration in dryland ecosystems, with responses ranging from positive to negative across short-, mid-, and long-term timescales.

Schisantherin A: Remodeling Gut Microbiota to Activate the Gut–Immune–Neural–Adipose Axis for Thermogenesis

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global obesity epidemic necessitates safe and effective strategies to enhance energy expenditure. Schisantherin A (Sin A), a lignan derived from Schisandra chinensis, has demonstrated metabolic benefits, yet its systemic mechanism remains unclear.

Wild Animal Suffering Is Not Intractable: A Precautionary Approach to Compassionate Intervention

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wild animals suffer due to human activity, yet natural factors contribute far more significantly to their suffering. In light of this, some propose that we have a pro tanto obligation to intervene in ecosystems to improve wild animal welfare.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

The Optimal Temperature of Ecosystem Respiration Homogenizes Under Global Warming

Earth's Future
AbstractTerrestrial ecosystem respiration (ER) is a key component of the carbon cycle and is highly temperature sensitive. While ER is often modeled as an exponential function of temperature, recent evidence shows that ER exhibits an optimal temperature (Topt). However, the temporal dynamics of Topt under climate warming remain poorly understood.

Adenotonsillar Microbiome Shifts in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study compares the microbiomes of adenoids and tonsils in pediatric OSAS patients and healthy controls using 16S rRNA sequencing. Significant differences were found in the tonsillar microbiome of OSAS patients, with lower alpha diversity and an overrepresentation of pathogenic genera like Haemophilus and Neisseria, while adenoid microbiomes showed

Comparing non‐staining methods with Mutvei's solution to visualize growth increments in short‐lived intertidal marine gastropod shells

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Mutvei's solution is a widely utilized standard staining method for revealing growth increments in biogenic carbonates; however, it is a slightly toxic, destructive approach with varying success across species groups. Therefore, there has been growing interest in finding non‐toxic, less destructive, and straightforward alternative techniques ...

An ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy system for studying real‐time pressure effects on enzyme activity

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of hydrostatic pressure effects on microbial enzymatic processing are challenging but critical for understanding element cycling in the world's oceans. In this study, we developed and tested a stainless‐steel pressure cell capable of withstanding up to 110 MPa of hydrostatic pressure (equivalent to ~ 11,000 m depth), featuring ...
