Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Leaching and phytoavailability of zinc and cadmium in a contaminated soil treated with zero-valent iron [PDF]
, 2010 Immobilization of heavy metals by stabilization amendments is a promising method to restore contaminated soils. In our study, we investigated the efficiency of zero-valent iron (Fe0) added to the soil in the form of iron grit to reduce leaching and ...

Reevaluating Diversity and the History of Women in Soil Science: A Necessary Step for a Real Change
Spanish Journal of Soil Science, 2022 Over the last decades, diversity in science has focused on the inclusion of individuals from formerly under-represented backgrounds. While this is important, it can result in reducing the topic to a game of numbers and quotas, but individuals are not ...

Application of Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Forward and Inverse Analysis of Pile-Soil Interaction [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The application of the Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to forward and inverse analysis of pile-soil interaction problems is presented. The main challenge encountered in the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modelling of pile-soil interaction is the presence of abrupt changes in material properties, which results in large discontinuities in the ...

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

Boundaries of photosynthesis: adaptations of carbon fixation in extreme environments
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Photosynthesis faces challenges from environmental extremes of temperature, pH, and salinity, limiting gas diffusion, modifying membrane fluidity, and destabilizing photochemical and biochemical reactions. Photosynthetic organisms have evolved unique adaptations overcoming these stresses and maintaining their photosynthetic activity.

The soil quality concept as a tool for exposing values in science and promoting sustainability considerations [PDF]
, 2004 The term soil quality has mainly been used as a technical concept for grading soils. It is important that the values and goals in soil use planning and soil management are explicitly stated and related to the soil quality indicators.

Climate change impacts on the Alpine ecosystem: an overview with focus on the soil
Journal of Forest Science, 2015 The Alpine ecosystem is very sensitive to climatic changes, which have an influence on glaciers, snow, vegetation and soils. The aim of this review is to illustrate the effects of global change on the Alpine soil ecosystem, which is an optimal marker to ...
