AbstractPremise: The defining life history strategy of spring ephemeral wildflowers is their avoidance of shading by trees during the brief, high-light period before canopy leaf-out. Studies suggest that spring ephemerals will experience increased light competition because canopy leaf-out is more sensitive to warming than is the phenology of spring ephemerals.

Project Care UK was advertised on social media platforms (eg, Instagram, X - formerly Twitter, Threads) and via mailing lists and relevant charities. We paid (<£20) to boost the study advert on Instagram for a few days during August 2023, specifically targeting UK-based YP in the relevant age range. Interested participants used a link/QR code to access a secure screening platform on Qualtrics to determine eligibility.

AbstractToxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that causes persistent infection in warm-blooded vertebrates by undergoing differentiation from a replicative stage (tachyzoites) to a latent encysted stage (bradyzoites). Stage differentiation is critical for transmission and pathogenesis and relies on gene regulation driven by a network of transcription and epigenetic factors.

We present the first epidemiological study of cholesteatoma using data from UK BioBank. We identified 1140 cholesteatoma cases from the UK Biobank cohort. These cases were compared with two different control groups: matched ear disease controls and ear disease-free controls. Demographic and ICD-10 data are comprehensively summarised from our case–control study. Cholesteatoma was significantly associated with male sex, increasing age and greater deprivation.

Martin Lewis has declared he's taking some time away from Good Morning Britain and won't be back on the show this year after a tense on-screen exchange with Labour MP Lisa Nandy. The personal finance guru, aged 52 and familiar to many as the Money Saving Expert, has become a staple figure on the ITV breakfast programme. His last stint was this Wednesday with Susanna Reid.

1 Introduction Neural Crest Stem cells (NC) is a transient and migratory population of stem cells that arise from the junction of the neuronal and non-neuronal ectoderm, namely the Neural Plate Border.[1, 2] After neurulation, during formation of the neural tube, the neural folds of the ectoderm converge at the dorsal midline.

AbstractSchwann cells are critical for the proper development and function of the peripheral nervous system, where they form a mutually beneficial relationship with axons. Past studies have highlighted that a pair of proteins called the prohibitins play major roles in Schwann cell biology. Prohibitins are ubiquitously expressed and versatile proteins.

Things used in this project In this project, we will develop a Smart Plant Monitoring System using IoT (Internet of Things) technology. The system will enable users to monitor and manage the health of their plants remotely through a web or mobile application. By integrating sensors, microcontrollers, and cloud computing, this project aims to provide an efficient solution for plant enthusiasts, farmers, or anyone interested in indoor or outdoor gardening.

AbstractOrganelles form membrane contact sites between each other, allowing for the transfer of molecules and signals. Mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact sites (MERCS) are cellular subdomains characterized by close apposition of mitochondria and ER membranes. They have been implicated in many diseases, including neurodegenerative, metabolic, and cardiac diseases. Although MERCS have been extensively studied, much remains to be explored.

AbstractIn biomedicine and many other fields, there are growing concerns around the reproducibility of research findings, with many researchers being unable to replicate their own or others’ results. This raises important questions as to the validity and usefulness of much published research. In this review, we aim to engage researchers in the issue of research reproducibility and equip them with the necessary tools to increase the reproducibility of their research.
