Coexistence of multiple leaf nutrient resorption strategies in urban forests by Pin Li, Zejin Wang, Kun Ran

“…These samples were used to explore the strategies employed by these plants to control the leaf resorption of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg). These analyses revealed that nutrient limitation and nutrient concentration control strategies were nutrient-dependent, engaged in the context of N, P, and K resorption, whereas stoichiometric control was involved in the resorption of all analyzed nutrients other than Ca, coexisting with nutrient limitation control. …”

Transcriptomics analysis reveals potential mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction and T cell exhaustion in astronauts’ blood cells in space by Maria Moreno-Villanueva, Maria Moreno-Villanueva, Luis E. Jimenez-Chavez, Luis E. Jimenez-Chavez, Stephanie Krieger, Liang-Hao Ding, Ye Zhang, Adriana Babiak-Vazquez, Mark Berres, Sandra Splinter, Kristen E. Pauken, Brian C. Schaefer, Brian E. Crucian, Honglu Wu

“…The dysregulated genes and pathways were mostly involved in energy and oxygen metabolism, immune responses, cell adhesion/migration and cell death/survival.DiscussionBased on the DEG and the associated pathways and functions, we propose that mitochondria dysfunction was caused by constant modulation of mechano-sensing receptors in microgravity, which triggered a signaling cascade that led to calcium overloading in mitochondria. The response of PBMC in space shares T-cell exhaustion features, likely initiated by microgravity than by infection. …”
