Vertical distribution of ice nucleating particles over the boreal forest of Hyytiälä, Finland by Z. Brasseur, J. Schneider, J. Lampilahti, V. Vakkari, V. Vakkari, V. A. Sinclair, C. J. Williamson, C. J. Williamson, C. Xavier, C. Xavier, D. Moisseev, D. Moisseev, M. Hartmann, P. Poutanen, M. Lampimäki, M. Kulmala, T. Petäjä, K. Lehtipalo, K. Lehtipalo, E. S. Thomson, K. Höhler, O. Möhler, J. Duplissy

“…INP concentrations observed in the boundary layer are best predicted by a parameterization describing near-surface INP concentrations driven by the abundance of biogenic aerosol in the Finnish boreal forest, suggesting that biogenic INPs are dominant in the boundary layer above the same environment. Most of the INP concentrations and activated fractions observed in the free troposphere are notably lower than in the boundary layer, and the distinct particle size distributions suggest that different aerosol populations, likely resulting from long-range transport, are present in the free troposphere. …”

Comprehensive Bioinformatics Analyses and Experimental Validation of the Cell Cycle Related Protein SAPCD2 as a New Biomarker and Potential Therapeutic Target in Pancreatic Cancer by Liu Y, Li B, Ke L, Luo T, Wu H, Lin J, Deng Y, Huang X, Xu L, Liu Y, Qi J

“…Cell counting kit 8 (CCK8), flow cytometry, and transwell experiments were used to evaluate the role of SAPCD2 in PAAD cell lines.Results: Our study found that SAPCD2 is notably upregulated in various cancers, especially early-stage digestive cancers, and is linked to poor survival in most cancers like PAAD and LIHC. Gene amplification and promoter DNA hypomethylation appear to drive this upregulation. …”
