Competition is ubiquitous and an important driver of tree mortality. Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs, including soluble sugars and starch) and C-N-P stoichiometries are affected by the competitive status of trees and, in turn, physiologically determine tree growth and survival in competition. However, the physiological mechanisms behind tree mortality caused by intraspecific competition remain unclear.

Neutral lipids restrict the mobility of broken DNA molecules during comet assays.

Biol Cell

January 2025

Centre de Recherche en Biologie cellulaire de Montpellier (CRBM), Université de Montpellier, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Montpellier, France.

One widespread technique to assess in relative terms the amount of broken DNA present in the genome of individual cells consists of immobilizing the cell's nucleus under an agarose pad (called the nucleoid) and subjecting the whole genome to electrophoresis to force broken DNA molecules out of it. Since the migrating broken DNA molecules create a tail behind the nucleoid, this technique is named the comet assay. While performing comet assays regularly, we systematically observed circular regions devoid of DNA within the nucleoid region.

Challenges and opportunities in organ donation after circulatory death.

J Intern Med

February 2025

Division of Transplantation Surgery, CLINTEC, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.

In recent years, there has been resurgence in donation after circulatory death (DCD). Despite that, the number of organs transplanted from these donors remains low due to concerns about their function and a lack of an objective assessment at the time of donation. This overview examines the current DCD practices and the classification modifications to accommodate regional perspectives.
