Medulloblastoma (MB), the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor, is classified into four molecular groups: WNT, SHH, G3, and G4. G3 and G4 MBs are characterized by poor prognosis and high metastatic potential. Although USP2 (ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2) has been described as a prognostic biomarker and a promising therapeutic target in several cancer types, its role in the pathogenesis of G3 and G4 MBs remains unexplor...

Human hair has emerged as a promising non-invasive matrix for assessing long-term exposure to essential and toxic trace elements relevant to cardiovascular disease. However, its clinical applicability depends on the availability of robust and fully validated analytical methodologies capable of overcoming matrix-related challenges. This study aimed to develop and validate a reliable and high-throughput method for multi-elementa...

Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...

The invasive brown alga Rugulopteryx okamurae (Ochrophyta) has undergone a rapid expansion in the Strait of Gibraltar sinceits introduction in 2015, significantly altering coastal habitats. This study focused on analyzing the composition and structure of epifaunal bryozoan assemblages associated with R. okamurae populations on infralittoral rocky bottoms in the Strait of Gibraltar and adjacent areas (southern Spain). Seven sam...

Motivation Geographic occurrences are essential for biodiversity studies, but publicly available repositories like GBIF often contain errors and biases, especially for taxonomically complex groups like Carex L. (Cyperaceae). This work provides an expert‐curated global dataset of occurrences compiled from different sources to enhance data accuracy and usability. The final dataset includes 384,067 occurrences of 1790 Carex speci...
