Initial Stand Volume and Residual Live Trees Drive Deadwood Carbon Stocks in Fire and Harvest Disturbed Boreal Forests at North‐Central Alberta by Richard Osei, Charles A. Nock

“…Given the importance of deadwood in forests to a variety of ecosystem functions, we sought to compare the local bioenvironmental drivers of deadwood (snags, CWD) C stocks in islands remnants in postfire and postharvest forests a decade after disturbance. We also determined whether their relative effects are consistent across deadwood types (snags, CWD) and disturbance regimes using generalized additive mixed models with study site as random factor in all cases. …”

BONE MARROW MICROENVIRONMENT INVOLVEMENT IN T-MN: FOCUS ON MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS by Maria Teresa Voso, Giulia Falconi, Emiliano Fabiani

“…In t-MN context, chemo/radio-therapy may induce damage to the BM-MSC and likewise alter BM-MSC functions by promoting pro-inflammatory response, clonal selection and/or the production of factors that may favor malignant hematopoiesis. Over the last decade, it has been shown that BM-MSC isolated from patients with de novo and therapy-related MN exhibit decreased proliferative and clonogenic capacity, altered morphology, increased senescence, defective osteogenic differentiation potential, impaired immune-regulatory properties, and reduced ability to support HSC growth and differentiation, as compared to normal BM-MSC. …”
