Spatiotemporal dynamics and adaptive strategies of plant diversity and functional traits in desert steppe

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionPlant diversity and functional traits form the core foundation of grassland ecosystem stability. However, rapid climate change poses a severe threat to biodiversity, making it imperative to clarify how these two factors mediate community ...

Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

Functional traits explain variation in plant life history strategies [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Significance Plants have evolved diverse life history strategies to succeed in Earth’s varied environments. Some species grow quickly, produce copious seeds, and die within a few weeks. Other species grow slowly and rarely produce seeds but live thousands of years.

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

Role of plant functional traits in determining vegetation composition of abandoned grazing land in north-eastern Victoria, Australia

, 2008
Question: In the Northern Hemisphere, species with dispersal limitations are typically absent from secondary forests. In Australia, little is known about dispersal mechanisms and other traits that drive species composition within post-agricultural ...

Plant traits and their role in determining forest community structure along a soil fertility gradient

, 2014
Previous studies have shown that changes in community composition in mature kauri forests are driven by topographical gradients. The extent to which functional traits influence the patterns detected in these forests has not been well-studied. The overall
