Comparing RNA extraction protocols from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded microcore samples [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The ability to analyze intratumoral heterogeneity is of great interest for both diagnostic and basic research purposes. However, currently available dissection techniques are unsuitable for routine use and hard to access financially.

Microcore Skin Biopsies: A Novel, Micro‐Invasive Skin Biopsy Technique Yielding Full‐Thickness Histology [PDF]

Skin Research and Technology
ABSTRACT Background Punch biopsies are considered the primary technique to obtain full‐thickness skin specimens for dermatologic diagnoses. However, limitations include scarring, sampling error, poor margin identification, and post‐sampling deformations.

Asynchronous and correlations of radial growth between different lateral meristems in Abies forrestii var. smithii [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Understanding radial growth phenology is crucial in the comprehension of tree physiology and its susceptibility to climate change. Numerous studies have investigated the impacts of radial growth activity in stem meristems and environmental factors on ...

Vertical Stratification Drives Divergent Spatial Trade-Offs Among Xylem Cell Types in Angiosperm Trees of a Mountain Forest in Eastern China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
To understand how vertical forest stratification influences xylem functional balance, we measured vessel, fiber, and parenchyma fractions across 39 tree species in eastern China. Key trade‐offs exist between vessel‐fiber and parenchyma‐fiber fractions.

Tree-ring structure determines the temporal coordination between xylem growth and the gain in hydraulic conductivity in the outermost ring. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The study of seasonal xylem hydraulics has predominantly focused on embolism‐induced losses, whereas growth‐driven increases in hydraulic capacity have received little attention. We assessed the intra‐annual dynamics of xylem formation and gain of conductivity in the current‐year ring of three species with contrasting tree‐ring structure ...

Defense mechanisms promoting tolerance to aggressive Phytophthora species in hybrid poplar [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Poplars are among the fastest-growing trees and significant resources in agriculture and forestry. However, rapid growth requires a large water consumption, and irrigation water provides a natural means for pathogen spread.

Prostatic abscess with infected aneurysms and spondylodiscitis after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy: a case report and literature review [PDF]

BMC Urology, 2021
Background Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy is the conventional method of diagnosing prostate cancer. TRUS-guided prostate biopsy can occasionally be associated with severe complications.

Evaluating the impact of cell-penetrating motif position on the cellular uptake of magnetite nanoparticles [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been employed to enhance the cellular uptake and intracellular delivery of various nanocarriers. Among them, nanoparticles (NPs) have been used as suitable vehicles for delivering different bioactive molecules in the

Phenological Shifts in Wood Formation Tracked by Frost Rings Across Two Centuries. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Rapid warming is reshaping plant phenology across ecosystems. We present an indirect retrospective approach to infer cambial phenology by analysing the timing and occurrence of frost rings in three Alpine conifers. We found that the cold spells responsible for frost ring formation typically involve temperature dropping below freezing for an average of ...
