Collection, handling and care of cephalopod eggsNARA Subscribed
Research on cephalopod early ontogeny has significantly advanced in recent decades, including embryo organogenesis and neurogenesis and early behavioural adaptations, particularly in commercially important and coastal species. Within this context, here we compiled current knowledge on the collection, handling and care under experimental conditions and monitoring in the field of cephalopod eggs and egg masses. It covers field o...
Temperature Influences Pseudocapillaria tomentosa Infections in Zebrafish, Danio rerio (Hamilton 1822)NARA Subscribed
Poikilothermic organisms like fish are key economic drivers in aquaculture and the ornamental fish trade. Climate change impacts the health of fish because poikilothermic hosts experience the same temperature as their environment, making temperature a critical determinant of parasite infection dynamics. Pseudocapillaria tomentosa , a capillarid nematode infecting approximately 20% of zebrafish research facilities, provides an...
Mercury and lead legacy pollution from a coal-fired power plant recorded in lake Chiprana sedimentary record (NE Spain)NARA Subscribed
Purpose The Ebro Basin is one of the most industrialised regions of the Iberian Peninsula, yet its long-term legacy of metal contamination remains poorly constrained due to the scarcity of continuous sedimentary archives in semi-arid environments. This study reconstructs the history of mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) pollution in the Ebro Basin using Lake Chiprana, the only permanent hypersaline lake providing a continuous, high-re...
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...
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...
Weedy rice is a close relative of cultivated rice ( Oryza sativa ) that infests rice fields worldwide and drastically reduces yields. To combat this agricultural pest, rice farmers in the southern US began to grow herbicide‐resistant (HR) rice cultivars in the early 2000s, which permitted the application of herbicides that selectively targeted weedy rice without harming the crop. The widespread adoption of HR rice coincided wi...
