Osteoporosis case ascertainment strategies in European and Asian countries: a comparative review
(2021)Osteoporosis InternationalWhile many clinical guidelines recommend screening for osteoporosis for early detection and treatment, there is great diversity in the case-finding strategies globally. We sought to compare case-finding strategies, focusing on the approaches used in European and Asian countries. This article provides an overview of the current case-finding strategies in the UK, Germany (including Austria and German-speaking regions of Switzerland), China, ...Review Article -
Root hydraulic phenotypes impacting water uptake in drying soils
(2022)Plant, Cell & EnvironmentSoil drying is a limiting factor for crop production worldwide. Yet, it is not clear how soil drying impacts water uptake across different soils, species, and root phenotypes. Here we ask (1) what root phenotypes improve the water use from drying soils? and (2) what root hydraulic properties impact water flow across the soil-plant continuum? The main objective is to propose a hydraulic framework to investigate the interplay between soil ...Review Article -
Review: Induced Seismicity During Geoenergy Development - A Hydromechanical Perspective
(2022)Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid EarthThe basic triggering mechanism underlying induced seismicity traces back to the mid-1960s that relied on the process of pore-fluid pressure diffusion. The last decade has experienced a renaissance of induced seismicity research and data proliferation. An unprecedent opportunity is presented to us to synthesize the robust growth in knowledge. The objective of this article is to provide a concise review of the triggering mechanisms of induced ...Review Article -
The lymphatic vasculature: An active and dynamic player in cancer progression
(2022)Medicinal Research ReviewsThe lymphatic vasculature has been widely described and explored for its key functions in fluid homeostasis and in the organization and modulation of the immune response. Besides transporting immune cells, lymphatic vessels play relevant roles in tumor growth and tumor cell dissemination. Cancer cells that have invaded into afferent lymphatics are propagated to tumor-draining lymph nodes (LNs), which represent an important hub for metastatic ...Review Article -
Imaging leukocyte migration through afferent lymphatics*
(2022)Immunological ReviewsAfferent lymphatics mediate the transport of antigen and leukocytes, especially of dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells, from peripheral tissues to draining lymph nodes (dLNs). As such they play important roles in the induction and regulation of adaptive immunity. Over the past 15 years, great advances in our understanding of leukocyte trafficking through afferent lymphatics have been made through time-lapse imaging studies performed in ...Review Article -
Deciphering the RNA universe in sperm in its role as a vertical information carrier
(2022)Environmental EpigeneticsThe inheritance of neurophysiologic and neuropsychologic complex diseases can only partly be explained by the Mendelian concept of genetic inheritance. Previous research showed that both psychological disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder and metabolic diseases are more prevalent in the progeny of affected parents. This could suggest an epigenetic mode of transmission. Human studies give first insight into the scope of intergenerational ...Review Article -
Technology Frontiers of Building-integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV): A patent co-citation analysis
(2020)International Journal of Low-Carbon TechnologiesRecently, greater research attention has focused on the application of solar power generation technology in building construction to reduce building energy consumption and encourage increased sustainable development. An emerging solar power generation technology is in the use of Building-integrated Photovoltaics (BIPVs), where photovoltaic materials are used to replace conventional building materials. In order to map the development of ...Review Article -
Fracture definitions in observational osteoporosis drug effects studies that leverage healthcare administrative (claims) data: a scoping review
(2022)Osteoporosis InternationalSummary Healthcare administrative (claims) data are commonly utilized to estimate drug effects. We identified considerable heterogeneity in fracture outcome definitions in a scoping review of 57 studies that estimated osteoporosis drug effects on fracture risk. Better understanding of the impact of different fracture definitions on study results is needed. Purpose Healthcare administrative (claims) data are frequently used to estimate ...Review Article -
Phenotypic flux: The role of physiology in explaining the conundrum of bacterial persistence amid phage attack
(2022)Virus EvolutionBacteriophages, the viruses of bacteria, have been studied for over a century. They were not only instrumental in laying the foundations of molecular biology, but they are also likely to play crucial roles in shaping our biosphere and may offer a solution to the control of drug-resistant bacterial infections. However, it remains challenging to predict the conditions for bacterial eradication by phage predation, sometimes even under ...Review Article
