Developing GIS-Based Algorithm of Stand Spatial Structure Index and Its Implementation

Accurate information of the fine-scale spatial patterns of trees and their interactions within a stand is critical for explaining the competition, health and vigor status, and future development of a stand.

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Development of High-Yield Forage Agrocenoses for Sustainable Livestock Production in Northern Kazakhstan

Agronomy
Low forage productivity of natural grasslands remains a major limitation for sustainable livestock production in the forest–steppe zone of Northern Kazakhstan, highlighting the need for high-yield, locally adapted forage systems.

DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

How do stand age and site quality shape productivity of Chinese fir plantations via stand structural pathways?

Frontiers in Plant Science
Stand productivity in plantation forests arises from the interaction among developmental stage, site potential, and structural organization, yet the pathways through which stand age and site quality regulate productivity remain insufficiently clarified ...

Soft motions encoded by the fold and mediated by conserved hinge sites drive V‐ATPase allosteric machinery and autoinhibition

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Vacuolar H+‐ATPase (V‐ATPase) is a multisubunit rotary proton pump that acidifies intracellular compartments. Using elastic network models, we identified conserved hinge residues that govern its large‐scale functional motions. We show that intrinsically encoded ‘soft modes’ drive critical functional transitions, including rotary catalysis and ...

Stand basal area, vertical structure and leaf area as a function of tree species richness, stand age and tree density.

, 2016
Stand basal area (a), vertical structure, quantified as standard deviation of tree height (c), and leaf area index (e) as a function of tree species richness and stand age. Lines represent the linear regression between richness and the response variable (

Investigating Old-Growth Forests in Tuscany (Italy): Structural Heterogeneity and Plant Diversity Across Forest Types and Novel Candidate Sites for the National Network

Land
Old-growth forests play a vital role in the conservation of terrestrial biodiversity, though they are rare and increasingly threatened worldwide. The Mediterranean region hosts notable examples of these ecosystems, but information about their location ...
