Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Functional diversity of jasmonates in rice [PDF]

Rice, 2015
Phytohormone jasmonates (JA) play essential roles in plants, such as regulating development and growth, responding to environmental changes, and resisting abiotic and biotic stresses. During signaling, JA interacts, either synergistically or antagonistically, with other hormones, such as salicylic acid (SA), gibberellin (GA), ethylene (ET), auxin ...

Sensing weeds and crops using thermal and hyperspectral imaginary

Plant, Soil and Environment
The availability of new sensor technologies, such as thermal and hyperspectral imaging, enables early-stage weed detection and species identification and density estimation, both of which are crucial for effective weed management.

Mining and quarrying activities tend to favor stress-tolerant plants

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Anthropogenic activities such as mining and agricultural practices may alter plant community structure and functioning. Grime’s Competitors–Stress–Ruderal (CSR) strategy can be used to detect plant community transformations caused by environmental ...

Spatial variation in functional group diversity in a sandflat benthic community: implications for ecosystem resilience [PDF]

, 2013
The resilience of macrobenthic communities to environmental stress depends upon the vulnerability, adaptability and connectivity of species. Recent studies suggest that the function(s) species perform may be more influential in driving community response

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Amphibian Taxonomic and Functional Diversity in a Heterogeneous Landscape of West-Central Mexico

, 2022
Land use in Mexico has dramatically changed in recent decades since deforested lands have been repurposed for agriculture. We evaluated the amphibian taxonomic and functional diversity of a heterogeneous landscape with ten land cover/use types in west ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Coccinellidae on native and introduced spruce in central Europe: conservation implications in urban areas

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The abundance and species composition of adult ladybird communities (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) were investigated on two congeneric trees, native Norway spruce (Picea abies) and the introduced blue spruce (Picea pungens), at four locations in Slovakia ...

Ciliate Communities Respond via Their Traits to a Wastewater Treatment Plant With a Combined UASB–Activated Sludge System

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Assessing functional diversity of communities is an efficient method to link community composition to ecosystem quality. Still, studies using functional traits of microeukaryote ciliate communities in biological wastewater treatment plants are lacking ...
