Selenoprotein deficiency disorder predisposes to aortic aneurysm formation
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Aortic aneurysms, which may dissect or rupture acutely and be lethal, can be a part of multisystem disorders that have a heritable basis. We report four patients with deficiency of ... -
Detecting loci under natural selection from temporal genomic data of selfing populations
(Peer Community In, 2020-10-26) -
Native diversity buffers against severity of non-native tree invasions.
(2023-08-23)Determining the drivers of non-native plant invasions is critical for managing native ecosystems and limiting the spread of invasive species1,2. Tree invasions in particular have been relatively overlooked, even though ... -
The recovery of European freshwater biodiversity has come to a halt.
(2023-08)Owing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to biodiversity loss1. Mitigation measures, including wastewater treatment and hydromorphological restoration, have ... -
Repurposing Antihypertensive and Statin Medications for Spinal Pain: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
(2023-08-04)STUDY DESIGN: Mendelian randomization (MR) study. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether antihypertensive medications (beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitors) and statins can be ... -
Altered lipid acyl chain length controls energy dissipation in light-harvesting complex II proteoliposomes by hydrophobic mismatch.
(2023-09)In plants, the major light-harvesting antenna complex (LHCII) is vital for both light harvesting and photoprotection in photosystem II. Previously, we proposed that the thylakoid membrane itself could switch LHCII into the ... -
Assessing the degradation of environmental DNA and RNA based on genomic origin in a metabarcoding context
(2023-01-01)Molecular tools of species identification based on eNAs (environmental nucleic acids; environmental DNA [eDNA] and environmental RNA [eRNA]) have the potential to greatly transform biodiversity science. However, the ability ... -
Airborne eDNA documents a diverse and ecologically complex tropical bat and other mammal community
(2023-03-01)Environmental (e)DNA has rapidly become a powerful biomonitoring tool, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. This approach has not been as widely adopted in terrestrial communities where the methods of vertebrate eDNA ...
