Stomatal opening under high temperatures is controlled by the OST1-regulated TOT3-AHA1 module.

Plants continuously respond to changing environmental conditions to prevent damage and maintain optimal performance. To regulate gas exchange with the environment and to control abiotic stress relief, plants have pores in their leaf epidermis, called stomata. Multiple environmental signals affect the opening and closing of these stomata.

Reliability, concurrent validity and clinical feasibility of measurement methods determining local tissue water in patients with lower limb lymphedema and healthy controls.

Purpose: To investigate reliability, concurrent validity and clinical feasibility of local tissue water measurements in patients with lower limb lymphedema and healthy controls.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study the Moisture Meter D Compact device (MMDC) measurement and "pitting test" were performed three times by two assessors to test intra- and inter-rater reliability in 47 patients and 30 healthy controls. To investigate the between-session reliability, 29 patients and 21 healthy controls were reassessed two weeks later.

Deciphering Acclimation to Sublethal Combined and Sequential Abiotic Stresses in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Plants are frequently exposed to environmental challenges. Responses to sub-lethal abiotic stress combinations are complex and often distinct from responses to individual stresses and remain poorly understood. Investigating traits and molecular factors mediating acclimation to stress combinations is essential for the development of climate change-resilient field crops.

Assessing the impact of deep-learning assistance on the histopathological diagnosis of serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) in fallopian tubes.

In recent years, it has become clear that artificial intelligence (AI) models can achieve high accuracy in specific pathology-related tasks. An example is our deep-learning model, designed to automatically detect serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), the precursor lesion to high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, found in the fallopian tube. However, the standalone performance of a model is insufficient to determine its value in the diagnostic setting.

Using a thermal gradient table to study plant temperature signalling and response across a temperature spectrum.

Plants must cope with ever-changing temperature conditions in their environment. In many plant species, suboptimal high and low temperatures can induce adaptive mechanisms that allow optimal performance. Thermomorphogenesis is the acclimation to high ambient temperature, whereas cold acclimation refers to the acquisition of cold tolerance following a period of low temperatures.
