Dual and spatially resolved drought responses in the Arabidopsis leaf mesophyll revealed by single-cell transcriptomics.

Drought stress imposes severe challenges on agriculture by impacting crop performance. Understanding drought responses in plants at a cellular level is a crucial first step toward engineering improved drought resilience. However, the molecular responses to drought are complex as they depend on multiple factors, including the severity of drought, the profiled organ, its developmental stage or even the cell types therein.

Correlation Between the Oral Microbiota and Sports Practice: A Systematic Review.

The impact of sports on oral health has been the subject of extensive investigation, with the majority of studies indicating a deterioration in oral health. However, the composition of the oral microbiota in athletes and its impact remains unclear. The objective of this review is to investigate the potential correlation between athletic activity and alterations in the oral microbiota.

Validating skin electrodes: Paving the way for non-invasive ERG use in psychiatry.

Background: Electroretinography (ERG) shows promise for identifying psychiatric biomarkers. The gold-standard approach relies on Dawson-Trick-Litzkow (DTL) electrodes and desktop equipment, but high costs and the expertise required for reliable electrode placement limit its implementation. This study evaluates a cost-effective alternative: a handheld ERG device paired with less invasive self-adhesive skin electrodes, which require minimal training.

Moderating Effects of Age and Gender on the Relationship Between Pediatric Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms and Parental Accommodation.

Parental accommodation is a well-established anxiogenic parenting practice that is ubiquitous among parents of youth with obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS). Accommodation is associated with heightened symptom severity (i.e.
