The extracellular matrix (ECM) not only provides structural support in tissues but also regulates cellular processes and tissue homeostasis. The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family of enzymes, consisting of LOX and lysyl oxidase-like enzymes (LOXL1-4), is involved in ECM remodeling by catalyzing the crosslinking of collagen and elastin. Dysregulation of these enzymes is implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including orga...

Purpose Residential segregation is recognized as an upstream driver of poor health, yet few studies have evaluated its impact on breast cancer incidence at a local level. We examined associations of neighborhood residential segregation with breast cancer (BC) incidence in the Multiethnic Cohort Study (MEC). Methods Measures of Index of Concentration at the Extremes were developed to assess residential segregation by income, ed...

Warming and elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 ) are two potentially opposing climate‐carbon (C) feedback mechanisms that modulate the magnitude of the land C sink, with warming decreasing and eCO 2 increasing C sequestration. However, their net effect on soil organic C (SOC)—the largest terrestrial C stock—remains uncertain. Here, we quantify how warming, eCO 2 , and their interactions influence SOC by using 5558 paired observations from 1...
