Effect of Serum Starvation on Rheology of Cell Monolayers [PDF]
The rheological properties of cells and tissues are central to embryonic development and homoeostasis in adult tissues and organs and are closely related to their physiological activities. In this work, we present our study of rheological experiments on cell monolayer under serum starvation compared to that of healthy cell monolayer with full serum ...

Maximizing the benefits and minimizing the risks of intervention programs to address micronutrient malnutrition: symposium report. [PDF]
Interventions to address micronutrient deficiencies have large potential to reduce the related disease and economic burden. However, the potential risks of excessive micronutrient intakes are often not well determined.

Immune Function and Micronutrient Requirements Change over the Life Course
As humans age, the risk and severity of infections vary in line with immune competence according to how the immune system develops, matures, and declines. Several factors influence the immune system and its competence, including nutrition.

Density-dependent and independent mechanisms jointly reduce species performance under nitrogen enrichment [PDF]
Nitrogen (N) deposition is a primary driver of species loss in plant communities globally. However, the mechanisms by which high N availability causes species loss remain unclear. Many hypotheses for species loss with increasing N availability highlight density-dependent mechanisms, i.e., changes in species interactions.
