Partial Order Ranking of the Key Drivers of Grassland Conversion in the Urban–Grassland Interface: A Case Study of the Hohhot–Baotou–Ordos Region by Xuemei Li, Chang An, Batunacun, Yu Feng, Kaixin Liu, Yong Mei

“…The results show that (1) transitions between grasslands and other land-use types became more frequent across the two periods. Specifically, the rates of grassland conversion out and conversion increased from 2.1% and 3.5% during the period 2000–2010 to 4.7% and 4.8% during the period 2010–2020, respectively. (2) Urbanization was the primary driver of grassland conversion in 11 and 10 of the 18 counties during the first and second periods, respectively, followed by factors related to weather variables. (3) In the future, the eastern region of the study area needs to prioritize mitigating the impacts of urban development, while the western region should focus on enhancing ecological construction projects. …”

In silico and in vitro assessment of TP53, ATM, RAD51, and BAX genes in gastric cancer and their contribution to radiotherapy resistance by Junwei Zhang, Pengtao He

“…Mutational analysis showed that TP53 was altered in 88% of gastric cancer samples, while ATM, RAD51, and BAX exhibited lower mutation rates. Survival analysis suggested that elevated expression of TP53, RAD51, and BAX may be linked to poorer survival outcomes, while reduced ATM expression appeared to associate with decreased overall survival. …”

Decoding stimulus-specific regulation of promoter activity of p53 target genes by Flavia Vigliotti, Nicolai Engelmann, Mark Sinzger-D’Angelo, Heinz Koeppl, Heinz Koeppl, Alexander Loewer, Alexander Loewer

“…Indeed, stimulus-specific stochastic gene expression is predominantly regulated by promoter activation and deactivation rates. Interestingly, we found that in many situations, transcriptional activity was uncoupled from the total amount of p53 and the fraction bound to DNA, highlighting that transcriptional regulation by p53 is a multi-dimensional process. …”
