Dual Roles of Adipose Tissue in Skeletal Muscle Regeneration: Pro-Regenerative Versus Maladaptive. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle accounts for approximately 40% of total body mass and is essential for locomotion, metabolic regulation and systemic homeostasis. Adipose tissue is increasingly recognized as an active component of the muscle's regenerative microenvironment.

Phytolith-Occluded Carbon Storages in Forest Litter Layers in Southern China: Implications for Evaluation of Long-Term Forest Carbon Budget [PDF]
Phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) can be preserved in soils or sediments for thousands of years and might be a promising potential mechanism for long-term terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration.

Phytolith Radiocarbon Dating: A Review of Previous Studies in China and the Current State of the Debate [PDF]
Phytolith radiocarbon dating can be traced back to the 1960s. However, its reliability has recently been called into question. Piperno summarized recent dating evidence, but most phytolith dating results from China were not included in the review because

Production of carbon occluded in phytolith is season-dependent in a bamboo forest in subtropical China. [PDF]
Carbon (C) occluded in phytolith (PhytOC) is a stable form of C; when PhytOC is returned to the soil through litterfall it is stored in the soil which can be an effective way for long-term C sequestration.

Silicon Fertilizer Application Promotes Phytolith Accumulation in Rice Plants [PDF]
In this study, a pot experiment was designed to elucidate the effect of varying dosages of silicon (Si) fertilizer application in Si-deficient and enriched paddy soils on rice phytolith and carbon (C) bio-sequestration within phytoliths (PhytOC).

Phytoliths are silica biomineralization products within plants and have been considered as a promising material to sequester carbon (C). However, there is considerable uncertainty and controversy regarding the C content in phytoliths due to the lack of detailed information on variation of C under different extraction procedures.

Impact of rice cultivar and organ on elemental composition of phytoliths and the release of bio-available silicon [PDF]
The continental bio-cycling of silicon (Si) plays a key role in global Si cycle and as such partly controls global carbon (C) budget through nutrition of marine and terrestrial biota, accumulation of phytolith-occluded organic carbon (PhytOC) and ...

Changes in land use are associated with the accumulation of soil phytolith-occluded organic carbon
Organic carbon occluded in phytoliths is extremely stable and plays important roles in long-term preservation of soil and stable carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems.

Background Equine pastern dermatitis (EPD) is a common multifactorial clinical syndrome in horses. Treatment can be difficult; pathogenesis and triggering factors cannot always be determined. Objectives To assess risk factors for developing EPD in a large group of horses kept under the same conditions and to analyse whether or not a spot‐on containing ...

Abstract Carbon is not only the foundation of all life on our planet, but also an element that persists in detrital material long after living organisms die. Quantifying the relative amount of living and nonliving carbon in suspended particles in the ocean is challenging and rarely done; yet it is key to understanding the fate of organic matter and ...
