Learning from Forest Trees: Improving Urban Tree Biomass Functions
Forests, 2022 Trees are one of the few carbon sinks in urban areas. Different methods are available to assess the biomass of urban trees, one of these being allometric biomass functions. Biomass functions are well investigated, reliable and easy to apply if the required information is available. Our goal is to use biomass functions to enhance urban forest management

Ovarian Matrisome Dynamics and αvβ3‐Mediated Regulation in Early Follicular Development
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The matrisome undergoes dynamic remodeling during early follicular development. Integrin αvβ3 mediates matrisome signals, regulating primordial follicle activation/atresia and secondary follicle growth via Hippo/mTOR pathways, with conserved roles in human ovaries, offering therapeutic targets for ovarian disorders.
