Impact of Deficit Irrigation on Grapevine cv. 'Touriga Nacional' during Three Seasons in Douro Region: An Agronomical and Metabolomics Approach.

The introduction of irrigation in vineyards of the Mediterranean basin is a matter of debate, in particular in those of the Douro Demarcated Region (DDR), due to the limited number of available studies. Here, we aimed to perform a robust analysis in three consecutive vintages (2018, 2019, and 2020) on the impact of deficit irrigation on the yield, berry quality traits, and metabolome of cv. 'Touriga Nacional'.

Safety and efficacy of T-DM1 in patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer The Royal Marsden experience.

Background: Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is standard of care for patients with advanced HER2+ breast cancer who relapse within 6 months of adjuvant trastuzumab or progress on first-line anti-HER2 therapy. We evaluated its safety and efficacy in our real-world population.

Methods: We identified patients on T-DM1 from 01/01/2014 to 12/03/2018 from our electronic records.

ADAMTS-9 in Mouse Cartilage Has Aggrecanase Activity That Is Distinct from ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5.

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)-4 and ADAMTS-5 are the principal aggrecanases in mice and humans; however, mice lacking the catalytic domain of both enzymes (TS-4/5∆cat) have no skeletal phenotype, suggesting there is an alternative aggrecanase for modulating normal growth and development in these mice. We previously identified aggrecanase activity that (a) cleaved at E↓G rather than E↓A bonds in the aggrecan core protein, and (b) was upregulated by retinoic acid but not IL-1α. The present study aimed to identify the alternative aggrecanase.
