Carbamazepine-Mediated Adverse Drug Reactions: CBZ-10,11-epoxide but Not Carbamazepine Induces the Alteration of Peptides Presented by HLA-B∗15:02 by Gwendolin S. Simper, Gia-Gia T. Hò, Alexander A. Celik, Trevor Huyton, Joachim Kuhn, Heike Kunze-Schumacher, Rainer Blasczyk, Christina Bade-Döding

“…Both drugs were bound to the HLA-B∗15:02 heavy chain; however, solely EPX altered the peptide-binding motif of B∗15:02-restricted peptides. This observation could be explained through structural insight; EPX binds to the peptide-binding region and alters the biochemical features of the F pocket and thus the peptide motif. …”

Growth resilience of Pinus latteri to extreme drought events across aridity gradients in southern Laos by Dao-Xiong Gao, Nakhonekham Xaybouangeun, Zaw Zaw, Rao-Qiong Yang, Ze-Xin Fan

“…Over 79 % of trees resumed their growth levels prior to the drought within one year after the event, and nearly full recovery was observed within two years across all sites. The relationship between tree resistance and recovery demonstrated a closer fit to the theoretical “line of full resilience” at the MM and TX sites, highlighting a higher recovery potential for P. latteri in these environments. …”
