Copper (Cu) is important for many aspects of plant function including photosynthesis. It has been suggested that photosynthesis, especially in young leaves, is prioritized for Cu delivery after deficiency in hybrid poplar. To determine relative Cu delivery prioritization, we enriched hydroponic plant growth media of Cu-deficient poplar with 98% 65Cu and tracked Cu delivery after deficiency to young leaves, mature leaves and stems. Young leaves acquired ~58% more 65Cu on Day 1 and ~65% more 65Cu by Day 3 compared with mature leaves. Additionally, stomatal conductance (gs) was measured on leaves for 6 weeks and during a 3-day 65Cu pulse resupply period. During deficiency, mature leaves maintained a higher gs than younger leaves but 3 days after Cu resupply the younger leaves that had recovered showed the highest gs. In conclusion, these results provide a quantitative understanding of how Cu is systemically transported and distributed to photosynthetic and stem tissues.

Background: Infliximab and adalimumab are the only biologics thus far approved for paediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), so other biologics, such as vedolizumab, are prescribed off-label. Despite its frequent use, prospective data for vedolizumab treatment in children are available only for short-term induction outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of maintenance therapy with vedolizumab in paediatric patients with IBD.

Plantar warts, or verrucae plantares, are skin lesions on the soles of the feet caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). These warts are prevalent and affect up to 33% of children and 3.5% of adults.

Background: Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Liver stiffness, as measured by MR elastography (MRE), is well-accepted as a surrogate marker of liver fibrosis.
Purpose: To develop and validate deep learning (DL) models for predicting MRE-derived liver stiffness using routine clinical non-contrast abdominal T1-weighted (T1w) and T2-weighted (T2w) data from multiple institutions/system manufacturers in pediatric and adult patients.

Excessive copper (Cu) of rhizosphere inhibited the growth and development of citrus seedlings. Lignin deposition on the cell wall promotes plant Cu tolerance. However, the lignin biosynthesis in citrus leaves and roots that respond to Cu toxicity is not fully understood.

Previous research demonstrated that transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can induce phosphene perception. However, tACS involves rhythmic changes in the electric field and alternating polarity (excitatory vs. inhibitory phases), leaving the precise mechanism behind phosphene perception unclear.
