High functional diversity is related to high nitrogen availability in a deciduous forest - evidence from a functional trait approach [PDF]
, 2010 The current study tested the assumption that floristic and functional diversity patterns are negatively related to soil nitrogen content. We analyzed 20 plots with soil N-contents ranging from 0.63% to 1.06% in a deciduous forest near Munich (Germany ...

SNUPN‐Related Muscular Dystrophy: Novel Phenotypic, Pathological and Functional Protein Insights
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective SNUPN‐related muscular dystrophy or LGMDR29 is a new entity that covers from a congenital or childhood onset pure muscular dystrophy to more complex phenotypes combining neurodevelopmental features, cataracts, or spinocerebellar ataxia. So far, 12 different variants have been described.

Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Is Associated With a Dysbiotic Oral Microbiome
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurological impairment. While the gut microbiota's role in MS is extensively studied, the association between the oral microbiota and MS remains underexplored, particularly in North American cohorts.

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Background Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare disease defined by recurrent cartilaginous inflammation. Anti‐collagen II (anti‐Col2) antibodies have been proposed as a diagnostic biomarker for RP, but their performance characteristics are not well defined.

Environmental and Human Controls of Ecosystem Functional Diversity in Temperate South America [PDF]
, 2013 The regional controls of biodiversity patterns have been traditionally evaluated using structural and compositional components at the species level, but evaluation of the functional component at the ecosystem level is still scarce.

A Spatially Resolved View on the Aging Substantia nigra: An Exploratory Proteomic Study
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Although aging is the most important risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases, the molecular effects of physiological aging are still understudied. By applying spatially‐resolved proteomic analyses of the human substantia nigra pars compacta, alterations in vesicular trafficking and mitochondrial proteins are observed, as well as reduced ...
