Nail Toxicities Associated With Anticancer Therapies in Children
JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nail toxicities are a frequent yet often underrecognized component of dermatologic adverse events in children receiving anticancer therapies. Both conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy and newer targeted agents can affect the nail matrix, nail bed and periungual tissues, producing a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations that range from ...

Quantifying Dehydration Effects of Porcine Vocal Fold Attenuation With Optical Coherence Tomography
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The purpose of this study is to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to characterize the effect of dehydration on the optical attenuation coefficient of porcine vocal fold (VF) tissue. The optical attenuation coefficient tissue decreased linearly with dehydration, dropping by approximately 0.08 mm−1 for every 1% increase in mass loss.

Innate immunity shapes the persistent transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.In this review, we focus on two key aspects of the virus–vector interplay: (1) persistently transmitted viruses utilize host factors to overcome transmission barriers; and (2) molecular recognition activates antiviral immunity and subsequent viral counter‐defense. Understanding these interactions offers critical insights for developing novel strategies

Effectiveness and Safety of Setmelanotide in a Patient With a Heterozygous PCSK1 Deficiency
Obesity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Setmelanotide, a melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist, is a promising pharmacological treatment option for people with rare monogenic obesity conditions affecting the leptin‐melanocortin signaling pathway, including proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) gene mutations.

Oikos, EarlyView.Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

The role of melanin production in the survival of Vibrio cholerae in the marine environment
, 2006 Word processed copy.Includes bibliographical references (p. 141-165).The marine bacterium Vibrio cholerae produces pyomelanin through the catabolism of L-tyrosine to homogentisic acid.
