Quality of care for people with differences of sex development (DSD) in Germany.
Orphanet J Rare Dis
December 2024
Background: People with "Differences of Sex Development" (DSD) require comprehensive, specialised, and individualised medical and psychological care. This is often perceived as inadequate by those affected. Therefore, the German Federal Ministry of Health funded the project DSDCare which aimed to improve the quality of care for people with DSD over the lifespan in Germany.

- * Sites with warmer, wetter conditions and more species generally saw increased biomass, while arid, species-poor areas experienced declines, alongside notable changes in seasonal plant growth patterns.
- * Factors like grazing and nutrient input didn't consistently predict biomass changes, indicating that grasslands are undergoing substantial transformations that could affect food security, biodiversity, and carbon storage, particularly in dry regions.
Basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factors TFEB/TFE3 and HLH-30 are key regulators of autophagy induction and lysosomal biogenesis in mammals and C. elegans, respectively. While much is known about the regulation of TFEB/TFE3, how HLH-30 subcellular dynamics and transactivation are modulated are yet poorly understood.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLittle is currently known about how climate modulates the relationship between plant diversity and soil organic carbon and the mechanisms involved. Yet, this knowledge is of crucial importance in times of climate change and biodiversity loss. Here, we show that plant diversity is positively correlated with soil carbon content and soil carbon-to-nitrogen ratio across 84 grasslands on six continents that span wide climate gradients.
