Ethnic differences in CKD progression among people with type 2 diabetes and rapid eGFR decline: A secondary data analysis by Thamer Alobaid, Matthew D. L. O’Connell, Janaka Karalliedde, Salma Ayis

“…Abstract Background People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibit diverse patterns of kidney function decline. However, there is limited evidence on the impact of ethnicity and diabetic retinopathy on the rate of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline and the progression of CKD. …”

The cyclic nucleotide-gated channels CNGC2 and CNGC4 support systemic wound responses in Arabidopsis thaliana by Sarah Johns, Erin Wiegman, Arkadipta Bakshi, Simon Gilroy

“…We hypothesized that members of the cyclic nucleotide-gated family of ion channels (CNGCs) might also be involved in the systemic component of this process.MethodsAn analysis of the systemic induction of defense genes was made using qPCR and patterns of Ca2+ signaling were monitored in plants expressing the GFP-based Ca2+ sensor GCaMP. …”

The Impact of Illumination on Finger Vascular Pattern Recognition by Pesigrihastamadya Normakristagaluh, Geert J. Laanstra, Luuk J. Spreeuwers, Raymond N. J. Veldhuis

“…Narrower bundles of light do not affect which veins are visible, but they reduce the overexposure at finger boundaries and increase the quality of vascular pattern images. The narrow beam achieves the best performance with 0% of FNMR@FMR0.01%, and the wide beam consistently results in a higher false nonmatch rate. …”
