The future of how we understand and manage ecosystems largely depends on direct and continuous observations that connect local territories to planetary processes. Latin America (LATAM: Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean) hosts ecosystems critical for regulating global carbon, water, and energy cycles. However, persistent underinvestment in science and technology hampers the long‐term monitoring capacity neede...
Tropical dry forest land use/land cover change detection using semi-supervised deep learning algorithms and remote sensingNARA Subscribed
Tropical dry forests (TDFs) provide essential ecosystem services yet are notoriously difficult to map using remote sensing data due to their spectral similarity to open fields, variability in forest regrowth, and factors such as seasonal leaf phenology and landscape fragmentation that hinder their discrimination. These limitations are critical in data-scarce regions where traditional classification methods struggle. This study...
Beyond strength: dietary nitrate augments self-selected functional mobility after resistance training in middle-aged adultsNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to assess whether dietary nitrate supplementation with resistance training (RT) augments gait performance and functional mobility in inactive middle-aged and older adults. We hypothesized that combining nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BRJ) with RT would yield improvements in gait and functional mobility compared to RT with nitrate-depleted beetroot juice placebo (PLA) supplementation. In this 12-week, randomized,...
Quest for Orthologs in the era of Data Deluge and AI: Challenges and Innovations in Orthology Prediction and Data IntegrationNARA Subscribed
The rapid advancement of DNA sequencing technologies and computational algorithms has led to an unprecedented surge in genomic data, driven by several large-scale sequencing projects worldwide. Orthology plays a crucial role in understanding evolutionary patterns of genes and their functions. At the last Quest for Orthologs meeting (Montréal, Canada—2024), we discussed recent advances in orthology inference, with a focus on th...
Cholesterol is a vital component of the cell membrane and plays an essential role in mediating integral membrane protein function. Altered cholesterol regulation has been implicated in neurological diseases that are associated with blood–brain barrier breakdown. However, the role of brain barrier function in inherited disorders of cholesterol metabolism, such as Niemann-Pick disease C1 (NP-C1), remains unclear. In this study,...
