Flowering out of sync: Climate change alters the reproductive phenology of Terminalia paniculata in the Western Ghats of India

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how climate change impacts the plant life cycle is critical for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. Our findings suggest that Terminalia paniculata Roth, a common tropical deciduous tree species in the Western Ghats, is now flowering and fruiting at more scattered times than it used to in the past.

Tumour‐informed workflow to use ctDNA as a biomarker for risk of recurrence in head and neck cancer patients post‐treatment

VIEW, EarlyView.
Our study presents a tumour‐informed circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) workflow designed to enhance the detection of recurrence in head and neck cancer patients, addressing key challenges such as low ctDNA tumour fractions and tumour heterogeneity. Abstract Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is a promising minimally invasive biomarker for monitoring treatment

Exploring the impact of microbial dysbiosis on ovarian cancer and the therapeutic potential of probiotics

VIEW, EarlyView.
Ovarian cancer has been linked to the microbiome as a potential environmental contributor, but how this association relates to tumor progression remains unclear. By comparing tumor and nontumor tissues, we identified a severity‐associated microbial and metabolic signature and showed that probiotics can partially restore immune balance and slow tumor ...

Heat stress in tropical highland regions: the case of Kenya during February 2024

Weather, EarlyView.
Understanding and awareness about heat stress remain low in sub‐Saharan countries despite high exposure and vulnerability. After the national media in Kenya reported that people had complained about unusual heat stress during February 2024, we combine in situ and reanalysis data to (i) put this event into climatological perspective, and (ii) give ...

Clinical Characteristics and Risk Factors for Cutaneous Manifestations Associated With Nemolizumab in Atopic Dermatitis: A Multicenter Retrospective Study in Japan

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nemolizumab, an anti‐interleukin‐31 receptor A monoclonal antibody, has been approved in Japan for treating atopic dermatitis (AD)‐associated pruritus. While it is effective for itch control, nemolizumab‐associated cutaneous adverse events have been increasingly recognized, yet their clinical features remain poorly characterized. In this study,
