Changes in canopy and crown structure with stand composition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data was used to quantify sugar maple crown metrics and local environment structure indices. It allows quantifying how crown plasticity, potential tree light interception and local environment structure are influenced by ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Multivariate relationships between floristic composition and stand structure in vegetation of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, New South Wales

open access: yes, 1997
[Abstract]: The relationships between stand structure and floristic composition were examined from data collected from 100 quadrats on two soil types: Hawkesbury sandstone and Narrabeen group soils, occurring within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, New ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Drivers of Macrofungi Community Structure Differ between Soil and Rotten-Wood Substrates in a Temperate Mountain Forest in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The effects of environmental and dispersal processes on macrofungi community assembly remain unclear. Further, it is not well understood if community assembly differs for different functional guilds of macrofungi, e.g., soil and rotten-wood macrofungi ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Short-term carbon, biodiversity, and forest structure responses to a fire risk reduction treatment in Interior British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change
Wildfire risk reduction treatments such as thinning and prescribed burning are becoming commonplace across British Columbia forests in response to the increase in frequency and severity of wildfires.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Effects of Elevational Gradient on Biomass Allocation Patterns of Moso Bamboo Forests in Central-Southern Jiangxi, China

open access: yesPlants
This study aimed to investigate the accumulation of aboveground biomass, organ allocation patterns, and their driving mechanisms in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forests along different elevational gradients and to compare regional differences in ...
