Unveiling the drivers contributing to global wheat yield shocks through quantile regression by Srishti Vishwakarma, Xin Zhang, Vyacheslav Lyubchich

“…While the unexpected negative association between more severe wheat yield shocks and higher fertilizer application rate and GDP per capita does not imply a direct causal effect, they indicate that the advancement in wheat production has been primarily on achieving higher yields and less on lowering the possibility and magnitude of sharp yield reductions. Hence, in the context of growing extreme weather stress, there is a critical need to enhance the technology and management practices that mitigate yield shocks to improve the resilience of the world food systems.…”

Impaired DNAJB2 Response to Heat Shock in Fibroblasts from a Neuropathy Patient with <i>DNAJB2/HSJ1</i> Mutation: Cystamine as a Potential Therapeutic Intervention by Raj Kumar Pradhan, Nikolas G. Kinney, Brigid K. Jensen, Hristelina Ilieva

“…While homozygous mutations in DNAJB2/HSJ1 have been linked to early-onset neuropathy, a heterozygous DNAJB2 c.823+6C>T was discovered in an adult patient with severe sensory–motor polyneuropathy. This mutation is predicted to affect both isoforms of the protein. DNAJB2 (HSP40), a key member of the heat shock protein family, plays a critical role in cellular protection and stress, including response to heat shock. …”
