Agricultural drought monitoring using modified TVDI and dynamic drought thresholds in the upper and middle Huai River Basin, China by Dui Huang, Tao Ma, Jiufu Liu, Jianyun Zhang

“…The annual comparisons demonstrate that the TVDIm index is associated with soil moisture throughout several soil layers, accommodating the diverse water needs of different phases of crop growth. Using the strong correlation between TVDIEVIm and observed data, we developed dynamic drought thresholds (ranging from 0.8 to 0.85) that are tailored to different crop growth stages. …”

DNA Methyltransferase Inhibition Promotes Th1 Polarization in Human CD4+CD25high FOXP3+ Regulatory T Cells but Does Not Affect Their Suppressive Capacity by Sija Landman, Marjan Cruijsen, Paulo C. M. Urbano, Gerwin Huls, Piet E. J. van Erp, Esther van Rijssen, Irma Joosten, Hans J. P. M. Koenen

“…Optimal FOXP3 expression strongly depends on hypomethylation of the FOXP3 gene. 5-Azacytidine (Aza) and its derivative 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (DAC) are DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi) that are therapeutically used in hematological malignancies, which might be an attractive strategy to promote Treg stability. …”
