Summary: The study contrasts the population dynamics of sudden oak death caused by Phytophthora ramorum in Oregon between the NA1 lineage outbreak in 2001 and the emergence of the EU1 lineage in 2015. The EU1 lineage showed low diversity and spatial clustering, while the older NA1 populations were more polymorphic and spread over a larger area.

Summary: We conducted a 5-year experiment to evaluate forest treatments aimed at preventing or mitigating the impacts of Phytophthora ramorum on coastal forests in central California to southwest Oregon. Our results showed that management practices can significantly reduce stand density, increase average tree size, and improve forest conditions threatened by sudden oak death for at least 5 years.

Summary: APAs exhibit transcriptome differences of different sizes, with BEX1 showing higher expression in micro-APAs compared to macro-APAs, negatively correlated with APA diameter, and promoting cell survival by regulating ferroptosis.

Summary: The study focuses on analyzing the impact of wildfires on the spread of the invasive pathogen Phytophthora ramorum and tree mortality. The results show that wildfires play a significant role in the reemergence of this invasive pathogen, with fire severity negatively associated with disease-driven mortality rates and disease spreading into unburned areas. This suggests that fire-disease interactions can shape forest structure and disease dynamics across large forested areas in California and Oregon.

Summary: Inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis, and there is still a need to address cardiovascular risk in optimally treated patients. Evidence that targeting inflammation can reduce cardiovascular events highlights the urgent need for new immunotherapies tailored to specific patient immune alterations. Successful immunotherapies for atherosclerosis must be personalized based on distinct immune changes in patient groups.

Summary: This study investigated the fatalities and causes of death in harness racehorses in Norway and Sweden between 2014 and 2019. The results showed that sudden death accounted for 85.5% of the fatalities. An increase in the number of race starts within the last 30 days was associated with a higher risk of sudden death. Hemorrhage after vessel rupture was the primary cause of death in some cases.

Summary: The study on four closely related oak species in Zijinshan, China, explored the variability of genome size within and among the species, as well as hybridization events, showing adaptation to the environment. The evolution of genome size in hybrid species was identified as expansion, with hybridization between sections possibly influenced by habitat disturbance. This research enhances understanding of Quercus evolution and aids in establishing guidelines for oak tree ecological protection.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate genetic contributions to sudden unexpected death. Through exome sequencing and analysis of 352 cases, genetic variants related to sudden death were identified. The study also found an excess burden of de novo pathogenic variants and damaging gene variants in individuals with sudden unexpected death.

Summary: A vitrification-based cryopreservation method was successfully used for long-term conservation of holm oak embryogenic cultures. By determining the best developmental stage of somatic embryos and the optimal incubation period in PVS2, embryos were recovered and showed high recovery rates after cryostorage in LN for four years.

Summary: This article demonstrates a cell barcode technology using laser particles, which can be used for cell sorting and routing through a microfluidic platform integrated with a high-speed spectrometer. By utilizing the spectral emission of laser particles, individual cells labeled with different laser colors can be distinguished and sorted.

Summary: This study investigated the causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in adolescents and found that the most common autopsy finding was structurally normal heart, indicative of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome. Among young athletes, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, coronary artery anomalies, and commotio cordis were more common causes of SCD.
