Global variation in the ratio of sapwood to leaf area explained by optimality principles

The paper explains 60% of global variation in sapwood-to-leaf area ratio using optimality principles linking plant hydraulics and photosynthesis.

Thermal acclimation of stem respiration reduces global carbon burden

The paper predicts and validates the temperature sensitivity of stem respiration, showing thermal acclimation reduces global carbon emissions.

Propagation of a rapid cell-to-cell H2O2 signal over long distances in a monolayer of cardiomyocyte cells

The paper identifies a rapid long-distance H2O2 signaling pathway in cardiomyocyte monolayers that involves superoxide production, gap junctions, and protein abundance changes.

CISD3 is required for Complex I function, mitochondrial integrity, and skeletal muscle maintenance

This study shows that CISD3 deficiency in mice causes muscle atrophy and mitochondrial dysfunction, revealing its role in Complex I function and muscle maintenance.

ROS are evolutionary conserved cell-to-cell signals

The paper identifies a conserved ROS-mediated cell-to-cell signaling mechanism across diverse organisms and shows its role in stress response and disease.

Fiber-parenchyma trade-off underlies changes in tropical forest structure and xylem architecture across a soil water gradient

The paper examines how fiber and parenchyma traits in tree xylem vary with soil water gradients, revealing a trade-off between hydraulic safety and resource acquisition.

New insights into large tropical tree mass and structure from direct harvest and terrestrial lidar

The paper harvests and measures four large tropical trees to assess above-ground biomass (AGB) and compares destructive measurements with terrestrial lidar-based estimates, finding lidar more accurate.

Single Cell RNA Profiling Reveals Adipocyte to Macrophage Signaling Sufficient to Enhance Thermogenesis

This study shows that adipocyte signals can drive iWAT browning through macrophage-like cells, independent of sympathetic nerves.
