UnknownThe global distribution and drivers of wood density and their impact on forest carbon stocks.
The density of wood is a key indicator of the carbon investment strategies of trees, impacting productivity and carbon storage. Despite its importance, the global variation in wood density and its environmental controls remain poorly understood, preventing accurate predictions of global forest carbo...

UnknownStudy protocol for a stepped-wedge randomized cookstove intervention in rural Honduras: household air pollution and cardiometabolic health.

Background

Growing evidence links household air pollution exposure from biomass-burning cookstoves to cardiometabolic disease risk. Few randomized controlled interventions of cookstoves (biomass or otherwise) have quantitatively characterized changes in exposure and indicators of cardiometab...

UnknownTreatment of Slow-Flow After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Flow-Mediated Hyperemia: The Randomized RAIN-FLOW Study.
Background ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction complicated with no reflow after primary percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with adverse outcomes. Although several hyperemic drugs have been shown to improve the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow, optimal treatment of no r...

UnknownHousehold air pollution from wood-burning cookstoves and C-reactive protein among women in rural Honduras.
Household air pollution from solid fuel combustion was estimated to cause 2.31 million deaths worldwide in 2019; cardiovascular disease is a substantial contributor to the global burden. We evaluated the cross-sectional association between household air pollution (24-h gravimetric kitchen and person...

UnknownCompositional response of Amazon forests to climate change.
Most of the planet's diversity is concentrated in the tropics, which includes many regions undergoing rapid climate change. Yet, while climate-induced biodiversity changes are widely documented elsewhere, few studies have addressed this issue for lowland tropical ecosystems. Here we investigate whet...

UnknownEffect of Probiotics on Incident Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Critically Ill Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance

Growing interest in microbial dysbiosis during critical illness has raised questions about the therapeutic potential of microbiome modification with probiotics. Prior randomized trials in this population suggest that probiotics reduce infection, particularly ventilator-associated ...

UnknownBromodomain Factor 5 as a Target for Antileishmanial Drug Discovery.
Leishmaniases are a collection of neglected tropical diseases caused by kinetoplastid parasites in the genus Leishmania. Current chemotherapies are severely limited, and the need for new antileishmanials is of pressing international importance. Bromodomains are epigenetic reader domains that ...

MetabolomicsMetabolic Drug Response Phenotyping in Colorectal Cancer Organoids by LC-QTOF-MS
As metabolic rewiring is crucial for cancer cell proliferation, metabolic phenotyping of patient-derived organoids is desirable to identify drug-induced changes and trace metabolic vulnerabilities of tumor subtypes. We established a novel protocol for metabolomic and lipidomic profiling of colorecta...

UnknownHost factors are associated with vaginal microbiome structure in pregnancy in the ECHO Cohort Consortium.
Using pooled vaginal microbiota data from pregnancy cohorts (N = 683 participants) in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program, we analyzed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences to identify clinical and demographic host factors that associate with vaginal microbiota structure ...
