(a) Schematic diagram of the experimental setup. Phytoplankton is stationary on the surface of a glassy-carbon macroelectrode (r = 3 mm). Chl-a fluorescence imaging is obtained using λex = 475 ± 35 nm and λem > 590 nm. (b) Real-time images of a living C. concordia cell during the opto-electrochemical experiment. The electrolyte is an F/2 medium. The fluorescence intensity of the C. concordia cell is displayed in a gray scale. At time zero, the applied potential is stepped from +0 to +1.1 V vs sat. calomel electrode. Scale bar = 5 μm. (c) Plot of the normalized chl-a fluorescence intensity (It) integrated over the entire plankton cell against the time. At time zero, the applied potential is stepped from 0 to 1.4 V (red lines) or 1.1 V (black lines). Each line represents an individual C. concordia cell. The normalization is background (IBG)-subtracted integrated intensity (It - IBG) against that measured at the time of the potential step (I0 - IBG).

Monocyte P2X7 receptor signaling and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat–containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. LPS binding to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) induces pro–IL-1β synthesis and NLRP3 inflammasome assembly. Hypoxia and/or cell lysis induces the release of a large amount of extracellular ATP (eATP) through Panx1, which engages the P2X7 receptor. In contrast to macrophages, monocytes alone can also release sufficient eATP to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome. Cation influx drives K+ efflux either through P2X7 or alternate channels, a key step in initiating NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Upon activation, the NLRP3 inflammasome converts pro–caspase-1 to caspase-1, which acts upon pro–IL-1β to produce IL-1β. Other effects of P2X7 engagement with eATP include a macropore formation that contributes to apoptosis and pyroptosis, T-helper cell type 17 (Th17) development, an increase in mitochondrial calcium, and modulation of several transcription factors that affect inflammation. Restoration of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function normalizes Cl− and P2X7-dependent K+ efflux, inhibits inflammasome activation, and decreases IL-1β release in CF monocytes. Several P2X7 inhibitors have been identified. AP-1 = adaptor protein complex 1; CREB = cAMP-responsible element-binding protein; HIF-1 = hypoxia-inducible factor-1; NF-κB = nuclear factor-κB.

SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 and long COVID increases the risk of several medical conditions.Because diagnosis-specific data on large populations with long COVID are sparse, outcomes from general infections are included and a large proportion of medical conditions are expected to result from long COVID, although the precise proportion cannot be determined. One year after the initial infection, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections increased the risk of cardiac arrest, death, diabetes, heart failure, pulmonary embolism and stroke, as studied with use of US Department of Veterans Affairs databases. Additionally, there is clear increased risk of developing myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and dysautonomia. Six months after breakthrough infection, increased risks were observed for cardiovascular conditions, coagulation and haematological conditions, death, fatigue, neurological conditions and pulmonary conditions in the same cohort. The hazard ratio is the ratio of how often an event occurs in one group relative to another; in this case people who have had COVID-19 compared with those who have not. Data sources are as follows: diabetes9, cardiovascular outcomes8, dysautonomia12,201, ME/CFS10,202 and breakthrough infections4.

The gray dots show the future Rs averaged over all grids in China during 2050–2069 versus the historical bias in Rs during 1961–2014 for the 24 models. Their robust regression fit shown as a gray line represents the constraint relationship for the future Rs, and the dashed lines show the 95% confidence intervals estimated by bootstrap. R2 is the goodness-of-fit for the regression. The vertical black line shows that the bias between the simulated and observed Rs is equal to 0 and its probability density function is inferred from the differences between the bootstrap-resampled averages (see ‘Methods’ section) of the observations during 1961–2014 and their mean.

There was more variability in pressures delivered during the baseline test with both devices (when participants were not given a target PIP). When given a target, peak pressures were more precise when lifesavers were using the Ambu Spur II with a manometer than when using the BBVM. The Ambu Spur II with manometer particularly outperformed the BBVM in the third test (participants were more successful at administering pressures within the target range of 25-30cmH2O).

The three bars above the heatmap indicate overall survival (OS) rate, cancer class and cancer type, with colour codes indicated on the right side of the figure. The darker the colour in the OS rate bar, the longer the OS rate. In the cancer class bar, beige represents solid malignancies and purple represents blood malignancies. Each cancer type is assigned a colour shown in the cancer type bar. Below the heatmap, five handpicked immune clusters of interest are reported; it is clear that these genes of interest are upregulated in blood malignancies.

Here short survival patients are compared with long survival patients, so in all three panels genes found to be upregulated are genes that are upregulated in short survival patients, and genes found downregulated are genes that are downregulated in short survival patients. Grey indicates genes that are not significantly downregulated or upregulated. Log of fold change (LogFC) is on the x-axis and significance level (-log10P) is on the y-axis. Panel A shows differentially expressed genes when all of the patients are considered (n = 515). Panel B shows differentially expressed genes when only patients with solid cancers are considered (n = 293), and panel C shows differentially expressed genes when only patients with blood cancers are considered (n = 222). In all panels, the significantly downregulated and upregulated genes are labelled with their Hugo Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) gene symbols.

(A) Fungal ASVs turnover and nestedness within the Triticum aestivum (left) and Triticum turgidum (right) groups (dots represent the group mean, clarifying that nestedness is higher than turnover in T. turgidum). The term “value” on the y-axis represents either the turnover or nestedness values. (B) Scatterplot of the goodness of fit to a neutral model (R2) and immigration coefficient of each cultivar of T. aestivum (light green) and T. turgidum (dark green).

Conceptual diagram showing a hypothetical and fluctuating press disturbance (A) and corresponding ecological response (B) resulting from climate change. Once maximal tolerance limits (maximum resistance capacity) are exceeded, steep declines in associated ecological responses such as fecundity or abundance are expected (B). Increased tolerance levels increases initial resistance (C), which may delay ecological responses (D). The fluctuating nature of almost all climates allow opportunities for recovery (*) which can influence ongoing resistance capacities.

Effect of bacterial treatments on the mortality and hatching of Meloidogyne javanica. (A) Number of living J2s nematodes relative to the control for each treatment is represented in the Y axis. Nematodes were monitored after 96 hours. (B) Number of alive and dead J2s, and non-hatched eggs respect to the control for each treatment are represented in the Y axis. Eggs hatching was counted 10 days after incubation. 10mM magnesium sulfate was used as control. Four independent replicates of 100 eggs or J2s each were tested per treatment in three independent experiments. Dilutions from 1x of dual-strain bacteria combination (B. paralicheniformis FMCH001 and B subtilis FMCH002, 3,20E+08 CFU/ml), are indicated in the X axis. 1x is 3,20E+08 CFU/ml; 1/2x is 1,60E+08 CFU/ml; 1/10x is 3,20E+07 CFU/ml; 1/100x is 3,20E+06 CFU/ml. (C) Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between J2s mortality (y-axis) and the bacteria dilutions (x-axis) was 0,98, p<0.003. Bars represent mean ± SE. *Asterisks, significant differences respect to control (t-test; P<0.05). CFU is considered as the number of spores.
