Burning reduced Actinobacteriota and Firmicutes but increased Proteobacteria. Rhizosphere networks were denser, but burning reduced their overall connectivity. Burnt straw increased specialist and generalist taxa, especially in the rhizosphere. Straw management significantly influences soil microbial dynamics, shaping biodiversity and resistance in agroecosystems. This study investigated how distinct straw management practices...
Gold Nanoparticles Modulate Root Architecture and Nutrient Homeostasis During Early Soybean GrowthNARA Subscribed
This study investigates how gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) influence early growth and nutrient homeostasis in soybean ( Glycine max ), with emphasis on root system architecture and ionomic regulation. Plants were cultivated under controlled conditions and exposed to 160 mg L − 1 citrate-stabilized AuNPs (~ 19 nm). Morphophysiological parameters and elemental profiles were evaluated to assess growth responses and nutrient dynamics....
Development of citrinin-loaded liposomes and in vitro toxicogenetic evaluation on breast cellsNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to synthesize a liposomal nanoformulation containing citrinin (LP-CIT) to improve its availability and to evaluate its toxicogenomic profile, focusing on cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and non-tumorigenic mammary epithelial (MCF-10A) cell lines. The formulation was characterized by macroscopic appearance, pH, particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, encapsulatio...
This study evaluated lignocellulosic residues as low-cost adsorbents for CO 2 capture in a dynamic column system, focusing on spent coffee grounds biochar (SCGB) as an alternative to commercial activated carbon. Commercial activated carbon, SCGB, magnetized SCGB, KOH-activated SCGB, peanut shell pellet charcoal, sugarcane bagasse charcoal containing kaolin, and calcined SCGB samples were tested. SCGB was produced by pyrolysis...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Phosphorus and base cations drive contrasting root dynamics in a central Amazon forestNARA Subscribed
Background and aims In highly weathered soils of central Amazonia, where nutrients such as phosphorus (P) and base cations are scarce, fertilization experiments have demonstrated above- and belowground effects on total net primary productivity (NPP). This study examined how fine root stocks and turnover responded to added nutrients over a two-year period. We predicted that adding a limiting nutrient would decrease fine root st...
Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
Range-wide genetic erosion signal and deep population divergence in the declining mud shrimp Upogebia pugettensisNARA Subscribed
The Blue Mud Shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis , is an ecosystem engineer of western North American estuaries and strongly influences estuarine biogeochemical cycling, surface area, biodiversity, and trophic dynamics. In recent decades, U. pugettensis populations have declined or been extirpated over the species’ range due to infestations by the introduced Asian isopod parasite Orthione griffenis . These widespread losses highlight...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
