Quantification and visualization of 3D facial aging in individuals of European ancestryNARA Subscribed
Facial features undergo continuous transformations across the lifespan. This study quantified and visualized the effects of aging on facial morphology in individuals of European ancestry. Three-dimensional facial photographs of 4,038 individuals (1,455 males and 2,583 females), aged 5 to 85 years and of European descent, were analyzed. Morphological changes in the face were modeled using kernel linear regression, with a focus...
Epigenetic age acceleration measures and chemotoxicity in older adults with early breast cancerNARA Subscribed
Among older adults with early breast cancer, the risk of chemotoxicity can vary widely despite similar chronological age. Here, we evaluated whether epigenetic indicators of biological age can stratify the risk of chemotoxicity in this population. In a prospective study of 394 women age > 65 with stage I–III breast cancer treated with neo/adjuvant chemotherapy, we analyzed peripheral blood DNA methylation patterns to estimate...
Analysis of vegetation response to four climate factors based on the CTSS-RESTREND methodNARA Subscribed
Climate change significantly influences vegetation growth, necessitating an in-depth understanding of the climate-driven dynamics of vegetation to formulate ecological and environmental policies. This study addresses the limitations of traditional correlation analysis methods by utilizing a combined approach of Residual Trend Analysis (RESTREND) and Time Series Segmentation Residual Trend Analysis (TSS-RESTREND), known as CTSS...
Global Assessment of Environmental and Plant‐Trait Influences on Root: Shoot Biomass RatiosNARA Subscribed
The distribution of assimilated carbon (C) among roots, stems, and leaves is a central process in terrestrial ecosystem dynamics. Yet the biomass allocation schemes used in current global vegetation and land surface models pre‐date the existence of large plant‐trait data sets and remain largely untested. Here we formulate hypotheses on the controls of root: shoot biomass ratios (R:S), based on eco‐evolutionary optimality princ...
Agricultural plastic mulch films are a major source of plastic pollution of croplands. In China, which uses about 68% of the plastic mulch film produced globally (ca. 1.4 million tonnes y −1 ), soils have been heavily contaminated with mulch fragments. Here, we collected a national dataset of macroplastic residues (> 5 mm) in soil, including 3145 sampling sites, and provincial plastic film usage from 1992 to 2019 in China, and...
