Health‐Related Quality of Life and Symptom Severity Among Patients With PIK3CA‐Related Overgrowth Spectrum: A Mixed‐Methods Study to Understand Real‐World Experience With Alpelisib Treatment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background PIK3CA‐related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) includes several rare overgrowth disorders resulting from somatic gain‐of‐function mutations in PIK3CA. Despite treatment advances, including the recent approval of alpelisib for PROS in the United States, literature detailing the patient experience with PROS is limited.

Fruit production is influenced by tree size and size‐asymmetric crowding in a wet tropical forest

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
In tropical forest communities, seedling recruitment can be limited by the number of fruit produced by adults. Fruit production tends to be highly unequal among trees of the same species, which may be due to environmental factors.

Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization consistently favor pathogenic over mutualistic fungi in grassland soils

Nature Communications, 2021
Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment may drive shifts in soil microbial communities. Here, the authors analyse nitrogen and phosphorus addition effects on soil fungi in a distributed grassland experiment across four continents, finding promotion of ...

Melanization slows the rapid movement of fungal necromass carbon and nitrogen into both bacterial and fungal decomposer communities and soils

mSystems, 2023
Microbial necromass contributes significantly to both soil carbon (C) persistence and ecosystem nitrogen (N) availability, but quantitative estimates of C and N movement from necromass into soils and decomposer communities are lacking.

Plant behavior upon contact with streptomycetes [PDF]

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2008
Plants have a variety of chemical and anatomical defences, whose strengths depend on biotic and environmental influences. We show here that root inoculation with belowground bacteria, filamentous gram-positive streptomycetes, can induce plant defence responses.

Hospitalization Through Families’ Eyes: Comparing Inpatient Care Quality for Children With Sickle Cell Disease and Cystic Fibrosis in Canada

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, inherited hemoglobinopathy that requires frequent hospitalization for disease‐related complications. Canadian data on inpatient care is limited. This study compared caregiver‐reported hospital experiences of children with SCD to those with cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic, autosomal recessive ...

Sizing up competition with strigolactones: the case of pea plants

Plant Signaling & Behavior
Plants, though sessile, can detect and respond to their neighbors through chemical signals such as strigolactones (SLs). We investigated how SL synthesis and perception affect the climbing behavior of Pisum sativum by analyzing wild-type plants and two ...

WRINKLED1 as a novel 14-3-3 client : function of 14-3-3 proteins in plant lipid metabolism

, 2018
The conserved plant 14-3-3 proteins (14-3-3s) function by binding to phosphorylated client proteins to regulate their function. Previous studies indicate that 14-3-3s are involved in the regulation of plant primary metabolism; however, not much is known ...
