Hepatoma cell lines are established in vitro models for xenobiotic metabolism, yet their enzymatic capacity is typically lower than that of primary human hepatocytes. Although widely used as standard culture supplement, fetal bovine serum (FBS) poses ethical concerns and may not provide the optimal nutritional environment for human-specific metabolic functions. This study compared the metabolic activity of the hepatoma cell li...

Trait‐based approaches have been increasingly used to relate plants to soil microbial communities. Using the recently described root economics space as an approach to explain the structure of soil‐borne fungal communities, our study in a grassland diversity experiment reveals distinct root trait strategies at the plant community level. In addition to significant effects of plant species richness, we show that the collaboration...
