Distinct signalling dynamics of BMP4 and BMP9 in brown versus white adipocytes

Scientific Reports
Adipocyte dysfunction contributes to lipotoxicity and cardiometabolic diseases. Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is expressed in white adipocytes and remodels white adipose tissue, while liver-derived BMP9, a key circulating BMP, influences adipocyte ...

Unravelling the diversity in water usage among wild banana species in response to vapour pressure deficit

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The rise in global temperature is not only affecting plant functioning directly, but is also increasing air vapour pressure deficit (VPD). The yield of banana is heavily affected by water deficit but so far breeding programs have never addressed the ...

Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Synoptic Patterns of Dry‐Hot Winds (Sukhoviys) in Ukraine

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study analyses dry‐hot winds, or sukhoviys, a recurrent phenomenon during the warm season across Ukraine that contributes to rapid moisture loss from soil and vegetation. The activity of sukhoviy events was assessed using the introduced Sukhoviy Station Index, accounting for their meteorological characteristics and frequency of occurrence.

The transpiration rate sensitivity to increasing evaporative demand differs between soil textures, even in wet soil

Plant Stress
Many efforts to improve crop yields in water-limited environments have been directed towards identifying genotypes capable of restricting their transpiration rate (TR) at high vapor pressure deficit (VPD).

Disentangling the relative effects of soil moisture and vapor pressure deficit on photosynthesis in dryland Central Asia

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Soil moisture (SM) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) are key factors affecting photosynthesis, and quantifying their effects on this process can help us to understand the mechanisms of carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the strong coupling

VPD/SIMS Measurement of Surface Al on Silicon Substrates

, 1992
An experimental protocol using secondary ion mass spectrometry to measure Al in vapor phase decomposition (VPD) solutions has been developed to achieve a detection limit of 108 atoms/cm2. The analytical technique is called VPD/SIMS.

Composition and functionalities of peanut protein concentrates using ethanol as a defatted solvent and a precipitating agent

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Defatted solids (DSs) from vegetable oil extraction represent valuable feedstocks for producing protein concentrates with tailored functional properties. In the present study, using peanut protein concentrates obtained from press cakes defatted with ethanol (DSEt) or hexane (DSHx), we aimed to evaluate ethanol as a green solvent for

Identifying Velopharyngeal Dysfunction in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We evaluated the clinical presentation and treatment patterns of velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) following head and neck cancer therapy across three academic institutions. VPD demonstrated a highly variable and delayed onset, with radiation‐associated cases developing after a mean of 8.5 years and many patients presenting more than 10 years after ...

Forest Vapor Pressure Deficit Sensitivity: A Potential Indicator of Soil Carbon Stability Under Atmospheric Drying

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This Short Report examines an underexplored link between atmospheric drying and soil organic carbon (SOC) stability. Rising atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is becoming an increasingly important hydroclimatic stressor for terrestrial ecosystems.
