Agricultural carbon sequestration, poverty, and sustainability [PDF]

, 2008
This paper explores the potential impacts of payments for agricultural soil carbon sequestration on poverty of farm households and on the sustainability of agricultural systems, using economic theory combined with evidence from three case studies in ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Amount and bioavailability of dissolved organic carbon leached from decomposing bamboo wood organs under manganese addition in a subtropical moso bamboo forest

BMC Plant Biology
Manganese (Mn) is regarded as a crucial factor regulating wood litter decay and property change. However, the effect of Mn on wood litter-leached dissolved organic carbon (DOC) characteristics during decomposition remains unexplored in forests.

3 year old with chronic wet cough : Intralobar Bronchopulmonary sequestration [PDF]

, 2016
Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital foregut anomaly of the lung, consisting of nonfunctioning primitive tissue that does not communicate with the healthy tracheobronchial tree.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Inhibited vertical mobility of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter under low-intensity rainfall: role of mineral retention

Biochar
Biochar has great potential in the application areas of carbon sequestration and environmental remediation. A significant amount of dissolved organic matter (DOM) may be released from biochar, which is highly reactive and mobile.

Potential climate benefits of using bamboo cutlery as a substitute for plastic in the food delivery service

Advances in Bamboo Science
Switching to bamboo cutlery in food delivery could reduce plastic pollution and associated carbon emissions in the life cycles. Current bamboo cutlery studies focus on comparing either disposable or reusable types with plastics but lack systematic ...

Quantifying the effectiveness of climate change mitigation through forest plantations and carbon sequestration with an integrated land-use model [PDF]

, 2008
Background Carbon plantations are introduced in climate change policy as an option to slow the build-up of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. Here we present a methodology to evaluate the potential effectiveness of carbon plantations.

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
