Major facilitator family transporters specifically enhance caffeyl alcohol uptake during C-lignin biosynthesis.

The mode of transport of lignin monomers to the sites of polymerization in the apoplast remains controversial. C-Lignin is a recently discovered form of lignin found in some seed coats that is composed exclusively of units derived from caffeyl alcohol. RNA-seq and proteome analyses identified a number of transporters co-expressed with C-lignin deposition in the seed coat of Cleome hassleriana.

Impact of a national dementia research consortium: The Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA).

The Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) was created by the Canadian federal government through its health research funding agency, the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), in 2014, as a response to the G7 initiative to fight dementia. Two five-year funding cycles (2014-2019; 2019-2024) have occurred following peer review, and a third cycle (Phase 3) has just begun. A unique construct was mandated, consisting of 20 national teams in Phase I and 19 teams in Phase II (with research topics spanning from basic to clinical science to health resource systems) along with cross-cutting programs to support them.

Feasibility of a Multicomponent Digital Fall Prevention Exercise Intervention for At-Risk Older Adults.

Background: Falls are a leading cause of disability, institutionalization and mortality for older adults. More effective strategies to prevent falls are essential and may help at-risk older adults continue to live independently. While exercise programs with in-person supervision reduce fall risk, there are numerous barriers associated with older adults' participation in such programs.
