Phytocytokines belong to a category of small secreted peptides with signaling functions that play pivotal roles in diverse plant physiological processes. However, due to low levels of sequence conservation across plant species and poorly understood biological functions, the accurate detection and annotation of corresponding genes is challenging. The availability of a high-quality apple (Malus domestica) genome has enabled the exploration of five phytocytokine gene families, selected on the basis of their altered expression profiles in response to biotic stresses.

- Excessive body odours can lead to bromhidrosis, negatively impacting a person's life quality, with C-S lyase being a key enzyme in producing these odours from skin precursors.
- A study involving 24 volunteers assessed axillary odour intensity after cycling, noting significant differences in odour between non-odorous and malodorous groups, linked to variations in skin bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus hominis.
- The results indicated that S. hominis was more abundant and had higher C-S lyase activity in the malodorous group, suggesting its crucial role in generating unpleasant body odours.
To define and evaluate a radiation dose optimization process for chest computed tomography (CT) imaging. Data from unenhanced and enhanced chest CT acquisitions performed between June 2018 and January 2020 in adult patients were included in the study. Images were acquired on a Siemens SOMATOM Definition Edge CT.

We assessed its feasibility, acceptability, and first signs of its effect on psychological wellbeing in cancer support treatment.
Methods: A single-center, single-arm, uncontrolled study was performed.
