Diatoms are central to the global carbon cycle. At the heart of diatom carbon fixation is an overlooked organelle called the pyrenoid, where concentrated CO is delivered to densely packed Rubisco. Diatom pyrenoids fix approximately one-fifth of global CO, but the protein composition of this organelle is largely unknown.

Non-canonical roles of ATM include transcriptional silencing, ferroptosis, autophagy and angiogenesis. Angiogenesis mediated by ATM signaling has been shown to be VEGF-independent via p38 signaling.

We tested the novel idea that ARN is positively associated with ambivalence about recovery.

We conducted a scoping review to map characteristics of services for the treatment of PAU that have been reported in the literature to be barriers to or facilitators of access to treatment from the perspective of individuals with PAU.
Methods: A protocol was developed , registered, and published.
Nostalgic reverie (i.e. sentimental longing) has received increased attention as a predictor of health and well-being, but only a handful of reviews have summarized this literature.

Objective: To present the final data from TRITON2.
Design, Setting, And Participants: TRITON2 enrolled patients with mCRPC who had progressed on one or two lines of next-generation androgen receptor-directed therapy and one taxane-based chemotherapy.
: In the current rapid evidence assessment, we summarize the existing research on lower-risk cannabis consumption as understood by those who consume cannabis. : We identified 7111 unique articles published between 1900 and 2021 using search terms related to a) cannabis consumption, b) beliefs and behaviors, and c) positive outcomes. : Twelve articles met our inclusion criteria.

While sequencing of tumor tissue is considered the standard for identifying patients with BRCA alterations (BRCA), plasma profiling may provide a minimally invasive option to select patients for rucaparib treatment. Here, we report clinical efficacy in patients with BRCA mCRPC identified through central plasma, central tissue, or local genomic testing and enrolled in TRITON2.

Previous qualitative explorations of the effects of MBCT for people in remission from depression have suggested a number of themes regarding changes arising from participating in MBCT ranging from awareness, agency, perspective, group processes, self-related change, and new ways of understanding depression. We aimed to qualitatively explore how participants in remission from depression experienced MBCT both post-MBCT and during a follow-up period.

We present results from patients with mCRPC associated with a alteration treated with rucaparib 600 mg twice daily in the phase II TRITON2 study.
Methods: We enrolled patients who progressed after one to two lines of next-generation androgen receptor-directed therapy and one taxane-based chemotherapy for mCRPC.
Purpose: Genomic alterations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes other than may confer synthetic lethality with PARP inhibition in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). To test this hypothesis, the phase II TRITON2 study of rucaparib included patients with mCRPC and deleterious non- DDR gene alterations.
Patients And Methods: TRITON2 enrolled patients who had progressed on one or two lines of next-generation androgen receptor-directed therapy and one taxane-based chemotherapy for mCRPC.
Background: The literature on the determinants of academic motivation indicates that social and affective processes connected to students' interpersonal relationships are central elements in understanding students' academic motivation and other school-related outcomes.
Aims: The aim of this study was to answer the following questions: Does autonomous motivation drive representations of relatedness, do representations of relatedness drive autonomous motivation, or are these constructs reciprocally related over time?
Sample: The sample consists of 834 adolescents aged 18 years (SD=1.88) who participated in a 3-year longitudinal study.
The aims of this study were to (1) quantify any central fatigue that occurs following prolonged dynamic exercise, i.e. reduced muscle force caused by impaired motor drive from the central nervous system and (2) determine whether decreased cortical arousal, assessed using critical flicker fusion threshold (CFF), occurs and is related to impaired exercise performance.

However, the relationship between muscle strength and sprint performance has received little attention. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship in elite performers of isokinetic muscle strength across three lower limb joints and sprinting performance, including the use of theoretical models.
