Blood Cell Counts and the Duffy Null Phenotype: Beyond Neutropenia
ABSTRACT The absence of Duffy antigen expression on red blood cells, caused by a single nucleotide polymorphism in the DARC/ACKR1 gene, confers protection against malaria and is associated with lower absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) in some studied populations.

Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...

Abstract Plant biomass measurements are critical for crop improvement and breeding programs. Such measurements rely on destructive and labor‐intensive methods that limit continuous measurements of biomass over plant growth stages and time. This study aimed to develop an inexpensive, nondestructive method for estimating aboveground biomass in rice ...
