The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-type morphogens are conserved throughout the animal kingdom. TGF-β-type molecules form spatial concentration gradients whose length scales with the size of growing, developing organs. Scaling of these morphogens can also be mediated by death, adjusting the size of the tissue to the range of the gradient. Dea...

To learn how skimmed human milk (SHM) can be used in infants with chylothorax to support adequate weight gain and nutrition while receiving human milk. Traditional nutrition management for chylothorax is to limit long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) and provide a diet high in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Transition from human milk to formula has b...

Growth is an important topic for many transgender boys. However, few studies have investigated the impact of puberty suppression (PS) and gender-affirming hormone treatment (GAHT) on growth and adult height. To evaluate the effect of PS and GAHT on growth and adult height. Retrospective cohort study. Specialized gender identity clinic. A total of 1...

The application of plasma-activated water (PAW) in agriculture has gained the attention of researchers and practitioners. In particular, treatment with PAW is a promising method for increasing scion and rootstock survival as well as augmenting the mineral nutrition applicable to tree fruit crops. However, the applications of PAW are hampered by the...

Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal disorder affecting females characterized by short stature and gonadal dysgenesis. Untreated girls with TS reportedly are approximately 20-cm shorter than normal girls within their respective populations. The growth patterns of girls with TS also differ from those of the general population. They are born a littl...

The cadmium (Cd) contaminated agricultural soil has become serious in recent years, but it will take long time for Cd-hyperaccumulator to remedy. To speed up the remediation of agricultural soil and achieve the safe agricultural production as soon as possible, the potential Cd-hyperaccumulator Solanum photeinocarpum Nakamura et Odashima was intercr...

Infants born before 32 weeks' postmenstrual age are at a high risk of growth failure. International guidelines have long recommended that they match the growth of an equivalent fetus, despite the challenges posed by ex utero life and comorbidities of prematurity. Several groups have recently questioned the necessity or desirability of this target, ...
Forest restoration is increasingly heralded as a global strategy to conserve biodiversity and mitigate climate change, yet long-term studies that compare the effects of different restoration strategies on tree recruit demographics are lacking. We measured tree recruit survival and growth annually in three restoration treatments-natural regeneration...
