Summer temperature variations over the past 20,000 years and their influence on carbon burial in a wetland on the NE Tibetan plateau Li, Yuan; Zhang, Hui; Jiang, Gaolei; Wang, Wenjia; Wang, Tao; Zhang, Jun; Xiang, Lixiong; Sun, Mingjie; Jeppesen, Erik; Song, Lei; Huang, Xiaozhong (2026-06-01) Carbon burial in wetlands of the Tibetan Plateau is a critical component of the global carbon cycle, yet its response to global warming remains poorly understood. We investigated how summer temperature variations over the ...
Synergistic regulation of photosynthetic efficiency at physiological and transcriptional levels in Ottelia acuminata under single and combined nitrogen and phosphorus treatments Zhou, Xiong-Li; Dai, Ni-Fei; Wang, Si-Qi; Rui-Zhang, Rui-Zhang; Lyu, Zhen-Yu; Jeppesen, Erik; Yang, Liu; Shen, Shi-Kang (2026-04-01) Eutrophication in plateau lakes is a major global challenge driven by excessive nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs ; however, whether N or P is the dominant limiting nutrient remains controversial. To address this issu...

Engineered probiotics recruit CAR macrophages and establish immune memory to eradicate heterogeneous glioblastoma in mice Zhang, Yulin; et. al. (2026-02-11) Glioblastoma (GBM) remains a highly lethal form of cancer due to its molecular heterogeneity and the immunosuppressive microenvironment surrounding the tumor. Here, we report a modular immunotherapy platform characterized ...
Insight into greenhouse gas emission in freshwater aquaculture ponds in Jiangsu Province: Variation due to species used and ponds management practice Li, Yifan; Wang, Hongyu; Zeng, Qingfei; Jeppesen, Erik; Gu, Xiaohong; Yan, Jie (2026-02-01) Aquaculture ponds have emerged as a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The role of pondscapes in supporting identities Benejam, Lluís; et. al. (2026-01-01) This study investigates how pondscapes, networks of ponds, and their surrounding environments contribute to supporting identities across diverse cultural contexts. Supporting identities is a non-material Nature’s Contribut...
Patient-derived tumor organoids: advances, applications, and future directions in biomedical research Acar, Ahmet (2026-01-01) Patient-derived tumor organoids (PDTOs) have become a key tool in cancer and translational oncology because they are physiologically relevant, 3D in vitro systems that preserve the genetic, epigenetic and phenotypic featur...
