Pore constrictions in intervessel pit membranes provide a mechanistic explanation for xylem embolism resistance in angiosperms

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2021
Embolism spreading in angiosperm xylem occurs via mesoporous pit membranes between vessels. Here, we investigate how the size of pore constrictions in pit membranes is related to pit membrane thickness and embolism resistance. Pit membranes were modelled

Pulmonary embolism

open access: yesNature Reviews Disease Primers, 2018
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is caused by emboli, which have originated from venous thrombi, travelling to and occluding the arteries of the lung. PE is the most dangerous form of venous thromboembolism, and undiagnosed or untreated PE can be fatal. Acute PE is associated with right ventricular dysfunction, which can lead to arrhythmia, haemodynamic ...

Functional xylem characteristics associated with drought-induced embolism in angiosperms.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2022
Hydraulic failure resulting from drought-induced embolism in the xylem of plants is a key determinant of reduced productivity and mortality. Methods to assess this vulnerability are difficult to achieve at scale, leading to alternative metrics and ...

Pulmonary embolism and 529 human blood metabolites: genetic correlation and two-sample Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesBMC Genomic Data, 2022
Background The incidence of pulmonary embolism complications in the literature ranges from 10 to 50%, with a 0.5–10% risk of fatal pulmonary embolism. However, the biological cause of pulmonary embolism is unknown.
