Guard cell photorespiration controls stomata behavior and development
Summary Photorespiration is traditionally viewed as a limitation to photosynthetic efficiency. However, it is mandatory for safeguarding the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle from inhibitory byproducts through Rubisco‐mediated oxidative misfire and is tightly integrated with primary metabolism.

Summary Stomatal patterning on the plant epidermis is regulated by the ERECTA family of leucine‐rich repeat receptor kinases (LRR‐RKs). While ubiquitination has emerged as a key regulatory mechanism for the endocytosis of receptor kinases, the precise molecular connections among ERECTA ubiquitination, endocytosis, and its biological functions remain ...

Evaluation of Daily CT for EPID-Based Transit In Vivo Dosimetry
PurposeThe difference in anatomical structure and positioning between planning and treatment may lead to bias in electronic portal image device (EPID)-based in vivo dosimetry calculations. The purpose of this study was to use daily CT instead of planning

A Precision Microbiome Approach Using Sucrose for Selective Augmentation of Staphylococcus epidermidis Fermentation against Propionibacterium acnes. [PDF]
Acne dysbiosis happens when there is a microbial imbalance of the over-growth of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) in the acne microbiome. In our previous study, we demonstrated that Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis, a probiotic skin bacterium)

Dose calibration of EPIDs for segmented IMRT dosimetry [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to investigate the dose response of amorphous silicon (a‐Si) electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) under different acquisition settings for both open jaw defined fields and segmented intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) fields. Four different EPIDs were used.
