Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of cancer mortality worldwide, with marked disparities in cancer incidence and outcomes across racial and ethnic groups. This study investigates the genetic determinants of tobacco carcinogen metabolism among smokers, focusing on ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) near genes involved in metabolic activation (Phase I), detoxification (Phase II), and transport (Phase III) of tob...

The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2023 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
The Inferior Frontal Occipital Fasciculus (IFOF) is a major anterior-to-posterior white matter pathway in the ventral human brain that connects parietal, temporal and occipital regions to frontal cortex. It has been implicated in a range of functions, including language, semantics, inhibition and the control of action. The recent research shows that the IFOF can be sub-divided into a ventral and dorsal branch, but the function...
Successional adaptive strategies revealed by correlating arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal abundance with host plant gene expressionNARA Subscribed
The shifts in adaptive strategies revealed by ecological succession and the mechanisms that facilitate these shifts are fundamental to ecology. These adaptive strategies could be particularly important in communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) mutualistic with sorghum, where strong AMF succession replaces initially ruderal species with competitive ones and where the strongest plant response to drought is to manage t...
Mapping lesion, structural disconnection, and functional disconnection to symptoms in semantic aphasiaNARA Subscribed
Patients with semantic aphasia have impaired control of semantic retrieval, often accompanied by executive dysfunction following left hemisphere stroke. Many but not all of these patients have damage to the left inferior frontal gyrus, important for semantic and cognitive control. Yet semantic and cognitive control networks are highly distributed, including posterior as well as anterior components. Accordingly, semantic aphasi...
A tale of two gradients: differences between the left and right hemispheres predict semantic cognitionNARA Subscribed
Decomposition of whole-brain functional connectivity patterns reveals a principal gradient that captures the separation of sensorimotor cortex from heteromodal regions in the default mode network (DMN). Functional homotopy is strongest in sensorimotor areas, and weakest in heteromodal cortices, suggesting there may be differences between the left and right hemispheres (LH/RH) in the principal gradient, especially towards its a...
Soil–plant N processes in a High Arctic ecosystem, NW Greenland are altered by long‐term experimental warming and higher rainfallNARA Subscribed
Rapid temperature and precipitation changes in High Arctic tundra ecosystems are altering the biogeochemical cycles of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but in ways that are difficult to predict. The challenge grows from the uncertainty of N cycle responses and the extent to which shifts in soil N are coupled with the C cycle and productivity of tundra systems. We used a long‐term (since 2003) experiment of summer warming and suppl...
