The effects of environmental and dispersal processes on macrofungi community assembly remain unclear. Further, it is not well understood if community assembly differs for different functional guilds of macrofungi, e.g., soil and rotten-wood macrofungi. In this study, using 2433 macrofungi sporocarps belonging to 217 species located within a forest dynamics plot in temperate mountain forest (Chi...

NF-κB, a central proinflammatory regulator, gets activated by TNF receptor–associated factors (TRAFs). But He et al. (page 2413) now report that one TRAF family member (TRAF3) instead negatively regulates an alternative NF-κB activation pathway. Classical activation of NF-κB occurs by TRAF-controlled degradation of cytoplasmic inhibitory binding proteins, which leads to nuclear accumulation of ...

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)/benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is common in adult men and can impair erectile function (EF). It was believed surgical treatments for this illness can improve EF due to the relief of LUTS while they were also reported harmed EF as heating or injury effect. Current network meta-analysis aimed to elucidate this discrepancy.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)...

Serological analysis of a recombinant lung cancer cDNA expression library with the autologous patient serum led to the isolation of 20 clones representing 12 different genes: 4 of these were known genes, and the other 8 were previously unknown genes. Of the four known genes, aldolase A (NY-LU-1), previously shown to be overexpressed in lung cancer, was most frequently isolated. The other three ...
