Article Synopsis
  • The actin cytoskeleton and a molecule called reactive oxygen species help root hairs grow properly.
  • Two specific mutant plants, rhd2-1 and der1-3, have problems with root hair growth because of issues with proteins called AtRBOHC/RHD2 and ACTIN 2.
  • These mutants respond differently to drought: rhd2-1 struggles with drought stress, while der1-3 is more resistant, because of differences in how their proteins behave.

Fluorescent selective probes for reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection in living cells are versatile tools for the documentation of ROS production in plant developmental or stress reactions. We employed high-resolution live-cell imaging and semiquantitative analysis of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) stained with CM-H2DCFDA, CellROX Deep Red, and Amplex Red for functional characterization of the spatiotemporal mode of ROS production, delivery, and utilization during root hair formation. Cell viability marker fluorescein diacetate served as a positive control for dye loading and undisturbed root hair tip growth after staining.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to assess hospitalization rates and diagnoses in patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 seven months after infection, along with evaluating long-term effects on physical performance and quality of life.
  • - A controlled follow-up involved 206 subjects, matched in age, gender, and cardiovascular risk, comparing those with prior COVID-19 infections to a control group with negative antibody tests.
  • - Results showed low inpatient admission rates in both groups, with no significant differences in physical performance; however, SARS-CoV-2 positive patients reported lower quality of life scores compared to controls.

Respiratory diseases are major causes of disease burden and mortality throughout the world. In Germany, alongside acute respiratory infections (ARI), chronic lung diseases - including lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma - are of particular socioeconomic importance. ARI incidence rates differ significantly according to age, season and year.

The increased risk of subsequent primary malignancies (SPM) in survivors of adult-onset Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) remains a challenging clinical problem worldwide. The German cancer registry database, pooled from 14 federal states, was used to calculate the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and excess absolute risk (EAR) of SPM in 128 587 patients registered with first primary HL/NHL between 1990 and 2012. Conversely, SIRs were also calculated for a subsequent HL/NHL following other first cancers.
