Objective and design SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are recommended for mastocytosis patients. We describe clinical symptoms, chemokine, cytokine, metabolomic and lipidomic derangements in a systemic mastocytosis patient following mRNA-1273 booster vaccination. Methods Twenty-eight chemokines and cytokines, 41 amino acids and 16 lipid classes were quantified with state-of-the-art methods. Results Mast cell activation (MCA) symptoms started 24 h after the mRNA-1273 booster vaccination with significant metabolic, lipidomic and cytokine derangements. Histamine concentrations peaked at life-threatening 18 ng/ml concomitant with high tryptase. Peak plasma IL-1Ra, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-11, CXCL10 and GM-CSF concentrations were elevated 54-, 4.9-, 85-, 54-, 6.1-, 19- and 6.4-fold respectively. Tocilizumab, an IL-6 receptor antagonist, was administered 6 h after admission, because of the highly elevated IL-6 concentrations. More than one year later IL-6 was highly elevated during another MCA attack likely caused by a PCR-proven SARS-CoV-2 infection and tocilizumab was again used. Clinical symptoms improved during the following 12 h similar to the vaccine booster MCA attack. Conclusions A mRNA-1273 first booster vaccination likely caused a delayed severe MCA attack with highly elevated Th 2 -biased cytokines with metabolic and lipidomic derangements. Administration of an IL-6 receptor blocker during both MCA attacks might have shortened the duration of clinical symptoms.

Optimized machine learning-based enhanced modeling of pile bearing capacity in layered soils using random and grid search techniques - Syed Jamal Arbi; Zia ur Rehman; Waqas Hassan; Usama Khalid; Nauman Ijaz; Zain Maqsood; Abbas Haider (Earth Science Informatics, 2025)
The bearing capacity of a pile is a critical factor in geotechnical design, necessitating extensive testing procedures that often increase both the time and cost of earthwork. Consequently, there is a growing demand for efficient and reliable methods to determine pile bearing capacity. This study aims to propose optimized machine learning based models through the application of Random Search (RS) and Grid Search (GS) optimization techniques for the prediction of pile-bearing capacity in layered soils. For this purpose, an extensive dataset is sourced from literature, and various machine learning algorithms including Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and XGBoost are investigated. Through a systematic modeling approach, multiple models are generated, and the performance of machine learning algorithms is refined using RS and GS cross validation (CV) using a customized code in Python. Optimized models are further assessed based on comprehensive evaluation criteria using key statistical performance indices. The results demonstrate that both RS and GS-tuned machine learning models achieve high accuracy, with R 2 values exceeding 0.9 and a low error index score across testing and training datasets. Notably, GS exhibits slightly superior statistical performance compared to RS. Furthermore, the tuned models with RS and GS showcase high performance on the validation dataset, with GS consistently outperforming RS. XGBoost emerges as the top performer among the machine learning models, followed by RF and SVM, highlighting the efficacy of tree-based algorithms in capturing the geotechnical variability inherent within pile bearing data. The proposed models offer valuable insights for predicting the preliminary evaluation of pile bearing capacity, facilitating swift and cost-effective geotechnical characterization within an acceptable error margin. This study introduces advancements in predictive modeling for geotechnical engineering, highlighting the transformative potential of optimization methodologies to enhance the machine learning models used for decision-making processes in civil engineering applications.

Hydro‐Functional Traits and Their Dissimilarity to the Neighbourhood Buffer Tree Growth Against the 2018–2020 Central European Drought - Lena Sachsenmaier; Florian Schnabel; Fon R. Tezeh; Pablo Castro Sánchez‐Bermejo; Nico Eisenhauer; Olga Ferlian; Sylvia Haider; Ronny Richter; Sharath S. Paligi; Bernhard Schuldt; Christian Wirth (Global Change Biology, 2025)
Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and duration of drought events, threatening the functioning of Central European forests. While diverse forests often promote long‐term growth stability, their performance during extreme drought events remains debated. Understanding the effects of forest diversity on tree growth during drought requires not only a consideration of tree interactions with direct neighbouring trees but also of the species' morphological and physiological characteristics, i.e., a trait‐based approach. Contrasting species‐specific drought responses might be driven by hydro‐functional traits, which shape a tree's hydraulic safety and stomatal control strategy. We investigated individual tree growth before, during, and after the unprecedented 2018–2020 Central European drought, from a hydro‐functional perspective. We analysed annual growth data from 2611 trees in a temperate tree diversity experiment (MyDiv experiment, Germany), measured 14 hydro‐functional traits, and modelled individual tree growth across the years 2016–2021, considering the interaction of climatic conditions with hydro‐functional trait syndromes. Our results reveal that traits related to hydraulic safety and stomatal control potential were key drivers of tree growth across drought and non‐drought years. During the severe multi‐year drought, the growth of focal trees increased with either higher hydraulic safety or tighter stomatal control potential. Trait syndromes that were less advantageous under normal conditions provided beneficial effects under drought stress, reflecting a trade‐off in performance across conditions. Additionally, we found that hydro‐functional dissimilarity between a tree and its surrounding neighbors provided benefits for tree growth during drought. Therefore, our study suggests that planting tree mixtures with distinct hydro‐functional strategies can enhance resistance to future droughts.

Road Disturbance Shifts Root Fungal Symbiont Types and Reduces the Connectivity of Plant‐Fungal Co‐Occurrence Networks in Mountains - Dajana Radujković; Erik Verbruggen; Jan Clavel; Aníbal Pauchard; Eduardo Fuentes‐Lillo; Agustina Barros; Valeria Aschero; Sylvia Haider; Amanda Ratier Backes; Jan Pergl; Michaela Vítková; Anna Lučanová; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2025)
Roads are currently one of the most disruptive anthropogenic disturbances to mountain ecosystems worldwide. These disturbances can have a profound effect on roadside soil properties and vegetation, typically favouring fast‐growing and ruderal species. However, their effect on plant‐associated fungal communities and plant‐fungal interactions remains largely unknown. In this study, we examined the changes in root‐associated fungal communities as well as plant‐fungal and fungal‐fungal co‐occurrence networks along mountain roads from four biogeographical regions. We found that roadsides consistently altered plant and fungal community composition, generally favouring arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and putative plant pathogens at the expense of ectomycorrhizal fungi. Moreover, roadsides consistently reduced the complexity of plant‐fungal and fungal‐fungal co‐occurrence networks (with 66%–95% and 40%–94% reduction in total edge density, respectively), even though the richness of fungal communities was not reduced and many of the naturally occurring highly connected taxa were still present. Our findings suggest that altered and transient conditions in the roadsides may favour more generalist symbionts like AMF and pathogens with low fidelity for particular hosts as opposed to surrounding natural vegetation which is dominated by symbionts with higher specificity for the host (like ectomycorrhizal fungi). We conclude that road disturbance may have a consistent negative imprint on connectivity between plants and fungi; a consequence that deserves attention as it could render mountain roadside systems unstable and vulnerable to further pressures such as climate change and invasive species.

Global Homogenisation of Plant Communities Along Mountain Roads by Non‐Native Species Despite Mixed Effects at Smaller Scales - Meike Buhaly; Jake M. Alexander; Aníbal Pauchard; Lisa J. Rew; Tim Seipel; José Ramón Arévalo; Valeria Aschero; Joshua P. Averett; Agustina Barros; Lohengrin A. Cavieres; V. Ralph Clark; Curtis C. Daehler; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2025)
Aim Mountain ecosystems are experiencing increased invasion of non‐native plants. These increases in non‐native species put mountains at risk of biotic homogenisation and a reduction of biodiversity. Our study aims to test if non‐native plant species are contributing to biotic homogenisation along roadways in mountain regions and how this changes along elevation gradients and across spatial scales. Location 18 globally distributed mountain regions. Time Period 2012–2023. Major Taxa Studied Vascular plants. Methods We used standardised vegetation surveys including species cover from 18 mountain regions worldwide to analyse whether the addition of non‐native species to the native flora increased or decreased Bray–Curtis dissimilarity (i.e., beta‐diversity) among roadside plant communities along elevation gradients ranging from 15 to 3919 m a.s.l. We tested this at the local, regional, continental and global scales using mixed‐effects models and confirmed it using null models. Results In the New World, we mainly observed homogenisation across regions and scales, as beta‐diversity was mostly lower with the addition of non‐native species. This was particularly true for low elevations. In contrast, we predominantly found community differentiation in the Old World, specifically at smaller (i.e., local and regional) scales. At the global scale, communities became more similar through the addition of non‐native species at all elevations. Main Conclusions Large‐scale homogenisation might be interpreted as a signal that high‐elevation plant communities along roadways may become more similar as non‐native species continue to spread upwards. Future studies should investigate the mechanisms driving the observed patterns of both homogenisation and differentiation by non‐native species, and explore the potential consequences of these patterns for ecosystem function and resilience.

International trade and plastic waste in oceans: legal and policy challenges - Zhang Hui; Aftab Haider; Asif Khan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Plastic waste pollution in oceans has emerged as a severe global crisis, exacerbated by international trade. The increased movement of goods, particularly plastic-based products, contributes significantly to marine plastic pollution. This study explores the intersection of international trade and plastic waste, focusing on legal and policy challenges. Using a qualitative research design, this paper reviews international legal frameworks such as the Basel Convention, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and regional trade agreements to assess their effectiveness in addressing plastic waste issues. The research highlights critical enforcement gaps, lack of standardized regulations, and insufficient international cooperation as major obstacles to effective plastic waste management. Key findings suggest strengthening international legal frameworks, enhancing monitoring and compliance mechanisms, and promoting sustainable trade practices are crucial for mitigating plastic pollution in oceans. The study underscores the necessity for binding agreements within trade policies to ensure a sustainable balance between economic growth and marine ecosystem preservation.

Blue light is a key factor in regulating stomatal movement, transpiration rate and ABA metabolism under varying vapour pressure - Sheona Noemi Innes; Sara Brunborg Jakobsen; Rikke Bryn Røsåsen; Haider Ali; Knut Asbjørn Solhaug; Jorunn Elisabeth Olsen; Sissel Torre (Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2025)
Vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and blue light (BL) are import signals for stomatal regulation and highly relevant during cultivation of economically important crops such as cucumber in controlled environments. However, the information about combined effects of VPD and BL and the regulation of abscisic acid (ABA) in this respect, is limited and seems to vary between species. This study investigated how moderate (1.12 kPa) or low (0.28 kPa) VPD combined with 5% or 30% BL affect the foliar ABA metabolism, transpiration rate, nutrient uptake, and growth in well-watered cucumber plants ( Cucumis sativus ‘Quatro’). Additional BL, regardless of VPD, resulted in a decrease in the nighttime ABA content (52%), as well as increased adaxial stomatal density (8–19%), transpiration rate during the day (40–50%) and foliar nitrogen content (30%). ABA regulation was unaffected by VPD, but the BL levels during the day influenced the ABA inactivation at night; both the transpiration rate and the ABA-glucose ester (ABA-GE) content then increased in 30% BL compared to 5% BL. An increase in starch degradation due to additional BL led to higher content of the transport carbohydrate raffinose in source leaves and increased the fruit appearance rate (fruit day −1 ) in low VPD but reduced it in moderate VPD. This study provides novel insight into the regulation of ABA under different VPDs and BL proportions in cucumber, and reveals that under well-watered conditions, BL is a stronger determinant of stomatal aperture regulation than ABA. Also, a combination of high VPD and high BL can act as a weak stressor and affect cucumber growth and yield.

Within‐individual leaf trait response to local light availability and biodiversity in a subtropical forest experiment - Tobias Proß; Helge Bruelheide; Sylvia Haider (Ecology, 2025)
Leaf traits are important indicators of ecosystem functions. Trait values can vary widely between species, and a considerable amount of variation also occurs within species. However, within‐individual variation is often neglected due to the limitations of traditional measurement tools. Many leaf trait values respond to light availability, which, in turn, is affected by the surrounding vegetation. Additionally, there is a strong within‐individual light gradient, especially in tree canopies. In the BEF‐China (Biodiversity–Ecosystem Functioning China) subtropical forest plantation, we analyzed how leaf trait values respond to light availability and neighboring tree species richness at the within‐individual level. We sampled across the vertical light gradient formed by neighboring trees planted at varying diversity levels from monocultures to 24‐species mixtures. We closely paired the leaf samples with sensor‐based measurements of light availability. We used visible and near‐infrared spectroscopy (spectral range: 350–2500 nm) to predict 14 leaf traits across 4981 leaves from 15 native tree species. Using a key feature of spectroscopy—deriving multiple leaf traits from a single spectral measurement of a sample—we assessed all traits simultaneously at the leaf level. We investigated whether an individual tree's direct neighbor or the surrounding tree species richness had a stronger influence on the light–trait relationship. Most trait values responded to light availability, though this response differed between deciduous and evergreen species. We found that tree species richness and a tree's direct neighbor could modify the light–trait relationship at the individual level. In some instances, a focal tree's direct neighbor influenced its leaf trait values more than the tree species richness in its local neighborhood. Specifically, in conspecific tree pairs of evergreens, specific leaf area and leaf nitrogen displayed a stronger response to changing light conditions. This response to light availability suggests a mechanism for avoiding within‐species competition that is observable at the within‐individual level. Our results show that biodiversity influences ecosystem functions through its effects on within‐individual leaf trait variation. The fact that the interplay between light availability, biodiversity, and leaf traits can be observed within‐individual trees highlights the importance of within‐individual leaf trait variation in biodiversity research.

High-resolution climate models improve simulation of monsoon rainfall changes in the Ganga–Brahmaputra-Meghna basin - Haider Ali; Hayley J. Fowler; Andrew G. Turner (Climate Dynamics, 2025)
This study investigates the impact of model resolution on simulating South Asian monsoon rainfall, focusing on the Ganges–Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) basin. By comparing high- and low-resolution versions of four CMIP6 HighResMIP model families against reference datasets (MSWEP and ERA5), we emphasize the advantages of high-resolution models in accurately simulating key monsoon characteristics, including annual rainfall, timing, intensity, and duration. Our results show that the high-resolution models align more closely with observed data, outperforming their low-resolution counterparts. Between 1979 and 2014, the high-resolution model ensemble (HR-models) captures key shifts in monsoon timing, such as delayed onset and withdrawal, leading to a slight increase in monsoon duration. In contrast, the low-resolution ensemble (LR-models) showed more pronounced delays in onset. The observational datasets, MSWEP and ERA5, indicate earlier (7 ± 3 days) and later (3 ± 1.2 days) onsets, respectively, with both showing delays in withdrawal, indicating extended monsoon duration. Notably, the increase in monsoon duration is more pronounced in MSWEP observations than in the model simulations, particularly for LR-models. Regarding rainfall trends, the HR-models more accurately reflect observed changes in both total rainfall and extreme rainfall from 1979–2014 compared to LR-models. Future projections (2015–2050) indicate further delays in monsoon onset, with HR-models projecting larger increases in total rainfall and extreme events (up to 4.5%/decade for the 95th percentile of rainfall) compared to LR-models, which show smaller increases and higher variability in total and extreme rainfall. These findings highlight the critical role of model resolution in improving the accuracy of monsoon simulations, with HR models offering more reliable simulations of historical monsoon behaviour and therefore likely more robust projections of future monsoon behavior. These are essential for informed water management and agricultural decision-making over the complex topography of the GBM basin.

(Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2025)
Aim We aimed to examine the abiotic, biotic and anthropogenic drivers of non‐native plant species distribution along hiking trails in mountainous regions. Location Nine mountain regions across six continents, including North America (USA), South America (Argentina and Chile), Europe (Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic), Africa (South Africa), Asia (China) and Oceania (Australia). Time Period Data were collected between 2016 to 2022 during the summer season. Major Taxa Studied Vascular plants. Methods We implemented a standardised sampling design (MIREN trail survey) with T‐shaped sample sites placed parallel to trails and perpendicular to adjacent vegetation. We examined the main drivers (abiotic, biotic and anthropogenic factors) affecting non‐native species' presence, richness and cover. Results At the global scale, abiotic (climatic) variables explained most of the variation in non‐native species richness. In contrast, biotic factors were the most important for the presence and cover of non‐native plants. Anthropogenic factors, including distance to the trail, use intensity and livestock grazing, were also important but to a lesser extent than the main factors. While the total number of non‐native species differed across regions, the patterns explaining plant invasions were consistent. Main Conclusions Our regional study identified mountain trails that are particularly vulnerable to plant invasions. Our findings suggest that under future scenarios of climate change, increased anthropogenic pressure and heightened livestock activity, the presence of non‐native species beyond trail edges may become more frequent. This highlights the need to restrict off‐trail activities in areas of high conservation value.

Cellular senescence and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling are crucial in pulmonary aging and age-related lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer. HIF plays a pivotal role in cellular adaptation to hypoxia, regulating processes like angiogenesis, metabolism, and inflammation. Meanwhile, cellular senescence leads to irreversible cell cycle arrest, triggering the senescence-associated secretory phenotype which contributes to chronic inflammation, tissue remodeling, and fibrosis. Dysregulation of these pathways accelerates lung aging and disease progression by promoting oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and epigenetic alterations. Recent studies indicate that HIF and senescence interact at multiple levels, where HIF can both induce and suppress senescence, depending on cellular conditions. While transient HIF activation supports tissue repair and stress resistance, chronic dysregulation exacerbates pulmonary pathologies. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests that targeting HIF and senescence pathways could offer new therapeutic strategies to mitigate age-related lung diseases. This review explores the intricate crosstalk between these mechanisms, shedding light on how their interplay influences pulmonary aging and disease progression. Additionally, we discuss potential interventions, including senolytic therapies and HIF modulators, that could enhance lung health and longevity.

In many transdisciplinary research settings, a lack of attention to the values underpinning project aims can inhibit stakeholder engagement and ultimately slow or undermine project outcomes. As a research collective (The Careoperative), we have developed a set of four shared values through a facilitated visioning process, as central to the way we work together: care, reflexivity, inclusivity, and collectivity. In this paper, we explore the implications of a values-centered approach to collaboration in food system transformation research. The paper presents two cases that illustrate how researchers might approach centering values in practice. Where much research on food system transformation focuses on values of food system stakeholders, we contribute insights into the values of researchers in such transdisciplinary endeavors. Specifically, we argue that researchers working on sustainability transformations need to be better prepared to engage in such reflections and aspire to embody values aligned with the transformations they seek to research.

Further evidence of biallelic NAV3 variants associated with recessive neurodevelopmental disorder with dysmorphism, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and behavioral abnormalities - Naseebullah Kakar; Selinda Mascarenhas; Asmat Ali; Azmatullah; Syed M.

Neuron navigators (NAVs) are cytoskeleton-associated proteins well known for their role in axonal guidance, neuronal migration, and neurite growth necessary for neurodevelopment. Neuron navigator 3 (NAV3) is one of the three NAV proteins highly expressed in the embryonic and adult brain. However, the role of the NAV3 gene in human disease is not well-studied. Recently, five bi-allelic and three mono-allelic variants in NAV3 were reported in 12 individuals from eight unrelated families with neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD). Here, we report five patients from three unrelated consanguineous families segregating autosomal recessive NDD. Patients have symptoms of dysmorphism, intellectual disability, developmental delay, and behavioral abnormalities. Exome sequencing (ES) was performed on two affected individuals from one large family, and one affected individual from each of the other two families. ES revealed two homozygous nonsense c.6325C > T; p.(Gln2109Ter) and c.6577C > T; p.(Arg2193Ter) and a homozygous splice site (c.243 + 1G > T) variants in the NAV3 (NM_001024383.2). Analysis of single-cell sequencing datasets from embryonic and young adult human brains revealed that NAV3 is highly expressed in the excitatory neurons, inhibitory neurons, and microglia, consistent with its role in neurodevelopment. In conclusion, in this study, we further validate biallelic protein truncating variants in NAV3 as a cause of NDD, expanding the spectrum of pathogenic variants in this newly discovered NDD gene.
