Non-Invasive Diagnosis and Monitoring of Diabetic Nephropathy: Assessment of Renal Function and Fibrosis by Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging by Yuan JL, Hu LA, Wang XY, Shi ZY, Chen T, Huang XZ, Wu Y, Cai QJ, Yang ZX, Chen XY, Yuan L, Zhang Y

“…Among the DKI indicators, MK had the highest AUC (0.922, 95% CI: 0.843– 1.000).Conclusion: The noninvasive monitoring of DN was feasible with DKI, and MK could indicate the renal function and fibrosis of DN patients. Changes in MK may also serve as a biomarker to assess treatment response (eg, microstructural improvement) after therapeutic interventions (eg, drug therapy for diabetic nephropathy, anti-fibrotic therapy).Plain Language Summary: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious kidney complication of diabetes and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. …”

Mitochondrial Quality Control in Health and Disease by Lin Ye, Xinzhi Fu, Qi Li

“…Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) encompasses a coordinated network of mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics (fusion and fission), and selective autophagy (mitophagy), which together sustain mitochondrial structure and function. Under physiological conditions, MQC ensures the removal of dysfunctional mitochondria, restricts excessive reactive oxygen species production, and modulates apoptosis, thereby supporting the high energy demands of organs such as the heart and brain. …”

Developing an early warning land degradation indicator based on geostatistical analysis of Ecosystem Functional Types dynamics by Cristina Domingo-Marimon, Małgorzata Jenerowicz-Sanikowska, Lluís Pesquer, Marek Ruciński, Michał Krupiński, Edyta Woźniak, Anna Foks-Ryznar, Mohammad Abdul Quader

“…Remote sensing datasets and techniques, particularly land cover maps, provide crucial data for capturing spatial and temporal changes, supporting informed decision-making and targeted interventions. However, these maps often emphasize structural rather than functional attributes and, also due to their thematic and temporal resolution, may not detect early degradation signs. …”
