Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Assessment of Growth in Cardio‐Facio‐Cutaneous Syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardio‐facio‐cutaneous (CFC) syndrome is a rare, multiple congenital anomaly disorder in which individuals commonly experience faltering growth; however, systematic analysis of growth parameters in this disorder has not been performed. We recruited 69 participants with CFC through CFC International and collected data on assessing height ...

Human Leukocyte Elastase Triggered Nanoparticles for Targeted Antimicrobial Delivery and Oral Microbial Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This study explores enzyme‐responsive nanoparticles for targeted antimicrobial release in inflamed oral environments. Nanoparticles formed by complexing peptides and chlorhexidine respond to human leukocyte elastase and release chlorhexidine selectively. P7 (ECAAPVCE)‐based formulations show optimal properties and stability, with antimicrobial activity

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Nontobacco Nicotine Dependence Is Associated With Perioperative Complications and Repeat Surgery After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To compare perioperative complications and revision surgery rates between following primary rotator cuff repair among patients with nontobacco nicotine dependence (NTND), no nicotine dependence, and traditional tobacco‐related nicotine dependence.

Higher Complement C4 Gene Copy Number Constitutes a Shared Genetic Risk Factor for Giant Cell Arteritis and IgA Vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

IMACulate(DE3), an E. coli Strain for High Purity His‐Tagged Protein Purifications

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immobilised Metal Affinity Chromatography (IMAC) is widely used to purify his‐tagged recombinant proteins from Escherichia coli. However, endogenous contaminants with histidine clusters, such as GFAT and PDH E1 proteins, are often co‐purified with the target protein.

Effectiveness of Sustainability Rating Scales in Dual‐Labeling: The Role of Eco‐Label Familiarity in Consumer Responses

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐labels and sustainability rating scales are widely used to communicate product sustainability, yet it remains unclear whether combining these signals enhances or undermines consumer responses. Drawing on signaling theory, this study examines how eco‐label familiarity and the presence of a sustainability rating scale jointly shape consumer ...

Pathophysiologic Consequences of Early Coarctation Stenting in a Longitudinal Porcine Model

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Novel stent technologies offer early intravascular treatment options for coarctation (COA). Mid‐to‐long‐term cardiovascular responses to early COA stent interventions are undefined. Aims We studied a porcine model of COA, with and without early stent implantation with serial dilation to adult aortic diameters, aiming to define ...

Effects of Early, High Moisture Harvesting on Grain, Milling, Flour, and Baking Quality of Six Winter Wheat Varieties

open access: yesCereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Three US soft wheat varieties (Hilliard, Wilson, and Kokosing), one Korean soft wheat variety (Olgeru), and two Korean hard wheat varieties (Keumkang and Sukang) were harvested three times on weekly intervals beginning at approximately 20% grain moisture, and were evaluated for grain, milling, flour quality, and ...
