Biodiversity Promotes Tree Growth during Succession in Subtropical Forest

PLoS ONE, 2013
يمكن أن تؤثر خسائر تنوع الأنواع النباتية على أداء النظام الإيكولوجي، حيث يكون انخفاض الإنتاجية الأولية هو التأثير الأكثر تكرارًا في التجمعات النباتية التجريبية، بما في ذلك مزارع الأشجار. لا يُعرف سوى القليل عن دور التنوع البيولوجي في النظم الإيكولوجية الطبيعية، بما في ذلك الغابات، على الرغم من أهميتها بالنسبة للدورات الكيميائية الحيوية والمناخ العالمي.

Dietary nitrate and nitrite protect against doxorubicin‐induced cardiac fibrosis and oxidative protein damage in tumor‐bearing mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Chemotherapies such as doxorubicin can have toxic effects on healthy cardiovascular/heart tissue. Following up on a doxorubicin toxicity study in mice without tumors where nitrate water was cardioprotective (lessened toxicity), this study with tumor‐bearing mice undergoing doxorubicin treatment showed no negative effect of nitrate and nitrite on drug ...

Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

Pathogenic Neurofibromatosis type 1 gene variants in tumors of non‐NF1 patients and role of R1276

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Somatic variants of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene occur across neoplasms without clinical manifestation of the disease NF1. We identified emerging somatic pathogenic NF1 variants and hotspots, for example, at the arginine finger 1276. Those missense variants provide fundamental information about neurofibromin's role in cancer.

Understanding bio‐based polymers: A study of origins, properties, biodegradation and their impact on health and the environment

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of bio‐based polymer sources, their unique functional properties and their environmental impact, and addresses their role as sustainable alternatives. It discusses end‐of‐life options, including composting and anaerobic digestion for renewable energy.

Local topographic and biotic neighborhood factors influence tree survival in a tropical dry forest, western Thailand

Ecological Processes
Background Understanding variations in tree mortality and survival is essential to interpreting community dynamics and demographic processes. Tree size and both biotic and abiotic factors are among the local-scale drivers proposed to be essential to ...

Copy Number Variants and Their Association With Intracerebral Hemorrhage Risk: A Case–Control Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and lacks effective therapeutic interventions. Despite previous studies, the genetic underpinnings of ICH remain poorly understood. We sought to investigate the role of copy number variants (CNVs) in ICH pathophysiology to identify novel ...
