Coronary obstruction following plaque rupture is a critical pathophysiological change in the progression of stable angina (SAP) to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The accumulation of platelets and various inflammatory cells on apoptotic endothelial cells is a key factor in arterial obstruction after plaque rupture. Through single-cell sequencing analysis (scRNA-seq) of plaques from SAP and ACS patients, we identified significant changes in the annexin V and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 pathways.

Insights into the subdaily variations in methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide fluxes from upland tropical tree stems.

Centre of Excellence PLECO (Plants and Ecosystems), Department of Biology, University of Antwerp, Universiteitsplein 1, B-2610, Wilrijk, Belgium.

Recent studies have shown that stem fluxes, although highly variable among trees, can alter the strength of the methane (CH) sink or nitrous oxide (NO) source in some forests, but the patterns and magnitudes of these fluxes remain unclear. This study investigated the drivers of subdaily and seasonal variations in stem and soil CH, NO and carbon dioxide (CO) fluxes. CH, NO and CO fluxes were measured continuously for 19 months in individual stems of two tree species, Eperua falcata (Aubl.

Understanding and predicting plant water dynamics during and after water stress is increasingly important but challenging because the high-dimensional nature of the soil-plant-atmosphere system makes it difficult to identify mechanisms and constrain behaviour. Datasets that capture hydrological, physiological and meteorological variation during changing water availability are relatively rare but offer a potentially valuable resource to constrain plant water dynamics. This study reports on a drydown and re-wetting experiment of potted Populus trichocarpa, which intensively characterised plant water fluxes, water status and water sources.

Although the separate effects of water and nitrogen (N) limitations on forest growth are well known, the question of how to predict their combined effects remains a challenge for modeling of climate change impacts on forests. Here, we address this challenge by developing a new eco-physiological model that accounts for plasticity in stomatal conductance and leaf N concentration. Based on optimality principle, our model determines stomatal conductance and leaf N concentration by balancing carbon uptake maximization, hydraulic risk and cost of maintaining photosynthetic capacity.
