A Two-Filter Adaptation to Achieve Hemodiafiltration with Enhanced Performance

This paper adapts conventional HD machines to achieve HDF with improved urea clearance and comparable safety metrics.

Developmental Effects on Relative Use of PEPCK and NADP-ME Pathways of C4 Photosynthesis in Maize

This study examines how the proportion of two C4 pathways in maize depends on canopy position rather than leaf age.

The APOBEC3A deaminase drives episodic mutagenesis in cancer cells

This study shows that APOBEC3A drives episodic mutagenesis in cancer cells by reducing clustered mutations and identifying key enzymes involved in mutation generation.

Temporal changes in metabolism late in seed development affect biomass composition in soybean

The study assesses temporal changes in metabolism during soybean seed development, showing lipid turnover contributes carbon for gluconeogenic carbohydrate production during maturation.

Shifting carbon flux from non-transient starch to lipid allows oil accumulation in transgenic tobacco leaves

This study shows that redirecting carbon from non-transient starch to lipid in tobacco leaves enables high oil accumulation through developmental source-sink plasticity.

HLA class II polymorphism influences the immune response to protective antigen and susceptibility to Bacillus anthracis

This study identifies HLA class II polymorphism effects on CD4+ T cell responses to PA epitopes and susceptibility to Bacillus anthracis.

Adult Plant Resistance in Maize to Northern Leaf Spot Is a Feature of Partial Loss-of-function Alleles of Hm1

This study identifies weak Hm1 alleles as the cause of adult plant resistance to northern leaf spot in maize, showing reduced enzymatic activity leads to resistance in mature plants but not seedlings.
