Calcium carbonate and phosphorus interactions in inland waters
Abstract Phosphorus, an element essential to all life, is impacted by calcium carbonate (CaCO3) co‐precipitation and dissolution dynamics across aquatic ecosystems. Changes to climate, hydrology, and eutrophication, coupled with differences in terminology related to naming CaCO3‐producing ecosystems (i.e., chalk, carbonate, karst, travertine), point to

Inhibition of cGMP‐Signalling Rescues Retinal Ganglion Cells From Axotomy‐Induced Degeneration
Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons are myelinated only beyond the lamina cribrosa, that is, when leaving the eye. Axotomy‐induced RGC degeneration is likely to be related to excessive nitric oxide (NO) production, leading to an over‐production of cGMP, over‐activation of protein kinase G (PKG) and excessive phosphorylation of target proteins, such as ...
