Biochar Application and Mowing Independently and Interactively Influence Soil Enzyme Activity and Carbon Sequestration in Karst and Red Soils in Southern China by Wenjia Luo, Daniel F. Petticord, Shiwen Zhu, Shaowu Zhu, Yuanlong Wu, Xun Yi, Xinyue Wang, Yili Guo, Xuxin Song

“…Soil organic carbon (SOC), a critical component of the global carbon cycle, represents the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, and is thus a major component of influencing climate regulation and ecosystem health. Grasslands store substantial carbon in their soils, but this carbon reservoir is easily degraded by both grazing and mowing, particularly in vulnerable karst landscapes. …”

Dysfunctional β-cell autophagy induces β-cell stress and enhances islet immunogenicity by Matthew C. Austin, Charanya Muralidharan, Saptarshi Roy, Justin J. Crowder, Jon D. Piganelli, Amelia K. Linnemann, Amelia K. Linnemann

“…Previously, we discovered that β-cell autophagy is impaired prior to the onset of T1D, implicating this pathway in T1D pathogenesis.AimsTo assess the role of autophagy in β-cell health and survival, and whether defects in autophagy render islets more immunogenic.MethodsWe knocked out the critical autophagy enzyme, ATG7, in the β-cells of mice (ATG7Δβ-cell) then monitored blood glucose, performed glucose tolerance tests, and evaluated bulk islet mRNA and protein. …”
