Deciphering Acclimation to Sublethal Combined and Sequential Abiotic Stresses in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Plants are frequently exposed to environmental challenges. Responses to sub-lethal abiotic stress combinations are complex and often distinct from responses to individual stresses and remain poorly understood. Investigating traits and molecular factors mediating acclimation to stress combinations is essential for the development of climate change-resilient field crops.

Lipoprotein (Sub)Fraction Analysis on the Bruker B.I. LISA Platform.

The Bruker B.I. LISA platform provides a method for human plasma/serum lipoprotein analysis and yields data on the particle numbers and lipids of the main lipoprotein classes (VLDL, IDL, LDL, HDL), and the subfractions within those classes.

Relevance of plasma lipoproteins and small metabolites in assessment of nutritional status among patients with severe injuries.

Background: This study aimed to identify plasma lipoproteins and small metabolites associated with high risk of malnutrition during intensive care unit (ICU) stay in patients with severe injuries.

Methods: This observational prospective exploratory study was conducted at two level-1 trauma centers in the Netherlands. Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) who were admitted to the ICU for more than 48 h between July 2018 and April 2022 owing to severe injuries (polytrauma, as defined by Injury Severity Scores of ≥16) caused by blunt trauma were eligible for inclusion.

The effects of APOE4 and familial Alzheimer's disease mutations on free fatty acid profiles in mouse brain are age- and sex-dependent.

APOE4 encoding apolipoprotein (Apo)E4 is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). ApoE is key in intercellular lipid trafficking. Fatty acids are essential for brain integrity and cognitive performance and are implicated in neurodegeneration.
