Strigolactones promote the localization of the ABA exporter ABCG25 at the plasma membrane in root epidermal cells of Arabidopsis thaliana.

The phytohormones strigolactones crosstalk with abscisic acid (ABA) in acclimation to osmotic stress, as ascertained in leaves. However, our knowledge about underground tissues is limited, and lacking in Arabidopsis: whether strigolactones affect ABA transport across plasma membranes has never been addressed. We evaluated the effect of strigolactones on the localization of ATP BINDING CASSETTE G25 (ABCG25), an ABA exporter in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Combined forced diuresis and late acquisition on [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT for biochemical recurrent prostate cancer: a clinical practice-oriented study.

Objectives: Increased detection of prostate cancer (PCa) recurrences using [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT has been reported by adding forced diuresis or late-phase imaging to the standard protocol. However, the combination of these procedures in the clinical setting is still not standardized.

Methods: One hundred prospectively recruited biochemical recurrent PCa patients were restaged with dual-phase [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT from September 2020 to October 2021.

Long-lasting impact of chitooligosaccharide application on strigolactone biosynthesis and fungal accommodation promotes arbuscular mycorrhiza in Medicago truncatula.

The establishment of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) between plants and Glomeromycotina fungi is preceded by the exchange of chemical signals: fungal released Myc-factors, including chitooligosaccharides (CO) and lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCO), activate plant symbiotic responses, while root-exuded strigolactones stimulate hyphal branching and boost CO release. Furthermore, fungal signaling reinforcement through CO application was shown to promote AM development in Medicago truncatula, but the cellular and molecular bases of this effect remained unclear. Here, we focused on long-term M.

I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine Myocardial Scintigraphy in Discriminating Degenerative Parkinsonisms.

Background: I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy is a useful technique to differentiate Parkinson's disease (PD) from atypical parkinsonisms, since it is generally abnormal in PD and normal in the latter. Reduction of myocardial MIBG uptake is a supportive feature in the latest PD diagnostic criteria.

Objectives: To explore the clinical contribution of myocardial scintigraphy in discriminating different forms of parkinsonisms, especially when atypical features are present.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging of Multiple Myeloma in a Post-Treatment Setting.

2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) has an established clinical value in the diagnosis and initial staging of multiple myeloma (MM). In the last ten years, a vast body of literature has shown that this tool can also be of high relevance for monitoring therapy responses, making it the recommended imaging approach in this field. Starting from the strengths and weaknesses of radiological imaging in MM, the present review aims to analyze FDG PET/CT's current clinical value focusing on therapy response assessment and objective interpretation criteria for therapy monitoring.
