Abstract Background Cardiometabolic disorders may worsen Covid-19 outcomes. We investigated features and outcomes for patients with or without diabetes, cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Methods collected compared data retrospectively from hospitalized multimorbidity (defined as ≥ two of three risk factors hypertension dyslipidaemia). Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the primary composite outcome (any mechanical ventilation, admission an intensive care unit [ICU] death) in...
ABSTRACT The increasing strength of positive biodiversity effects on plant community productivity, observed in long‐term experiments, relates to mixed responses at the species level. However, it is still not well understood if are adaptations different selection pressures communities diversity or plastic adjustments. We conducted a transplant experiment for nine 17‐year‐old (Jena Experiment). used offspring plants selected and from without ( naïve ). In Community History Experiment , were...
A lack of balance between energy intake and expenditure due to overeating or reduced physical activity does not seem explain entirely the obesity epidemic we are facing, further factors therefore being evaluated. Nickel (Ni) is a ubiquitous heavy metal implied in several health conditions. Regarding this, European Food Safety Authority has recently released an alert on possible deleterious effects dietary Ni human given current levels some countries. Pre-clinical studies have also suggested...
The global loss of biodiversity has motivated many studies that experimentally vary plant species richness and examine the consequences for ecosystem functioning. Such experiments generally show a positive relationship between above- below-ground functioning terrestrial ecosystems. Moreover, this tends to strengthen over time, seen as enhanced diverse communities reduced low-diversity communities. Differences in multitrophic community assembly biotic interactions high- versus are...
Abstract Within-plant variation in seed size may merely reflect developmental instability, or it be adaptive facilitating diversifying bet-hedging, that is, production of phenotypically diverse offspring when future environments are unpredictable. To test the latter hypothesis, we analyzed patterns 11 populations perennial vine Dalechampia scandens grown a common greenhouse environment. We tested whether population differences mean and covaried with environmental predictability at two...
Plants growing in biodiverse communities often increase productivity, but how plant diversity impacts the metabolome and underlying ecological evolutionary processes remains unclear. This study investigated species selection for different environments affects leaf of Plantago lanceolata. We compared metabolites plants derived from those that had been selected Jena Experiment 17 years with differing naive not subjected to this selection. The metabolic profiles P. lanceolata phytometers were...
'Tonda Gentile Romana' and di Giffoni' (Corylus avellana L.) are two Italian hazelnut cultivars, recognized under the quality labels "Protected Designation of Origin" (PDO) Geographical Indication" (PGI), respectively. Hazelnut seeds characterized by a complex microstructure presence different physical compartments. This peculiarity has been studied evidenced Time Domain (TD) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments. technique allowed assessment diffusion compartments, or domains,...
Abstract The increasing strength of positive biodiversity effects on plant community productivity in long-term experiments has been shown to be related mixed responses at species level. However, it is still not well understood if the varying environments communities with different diversity also exert selection pressures which respond adaptively or whether their are mainly due phenotypic plasticity. We conducted a transplant experiment for nine 17-year-old grassland (Jena Experiment). used...
Abstract Plant species respond to varying plant diversity and associated changes in their abiotic biotic environment with phenotype. However, it is not clear what degree this phenotypic differentiation due genotype within populations or plasticity of individuals. We studied individuals 16 the clonal herb Taraxacum officinale grown communities different richness a 17‐year‐old grassland biodiversity experiment (Jena Experiment). collected 12 each population measure traits identify distinct...
Supplementary Figures S1-S3 from Localization of Fas/CD95 into the Lipid Rafts on Down-Modulation Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Signaling Pathway
<div>Abstract<p>Activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway is known to protect tumor cells from apoptosis and more specifically Fas-mediated apoptotic signal. The antitumoral agent edelfosine sensitizes leukemic death by inducing redistribution receptor Fas into plasma membrane subdomains called lipid rafts. Herein, we show that inhibition PI3K signal triggers a independently Fas/FasL interaction. Furthermore, similarly edelfosine, blockade activity,...
