Climate change skepticism (CCS) is a significant impediment to sustainable behavior. An in-depth understanding of CCS is therefore essential. However, existing measures vary considerably. In this paper, we address the ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived membrane-bound vesicles involved in many physiological and pathological processes not only in humans but also in all the organisms of the eukaryotic and prokaryotic kingdoms. ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in the pathogenesis of neoplastic diseases. Their role in mediating drug resistance has been widely described in several types of cancers, including melanoma. EVs can mediate drug ...

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are major components of the metazoan cytoskeleton. A long-standing debate concerns the question whether IF network organization only reflects or also determines cell and tissue function. Using ...

Societal Impact Statement: Rice farming is transitioning from transplanting rice seedlings towards the less labour-intensive and less water-demanding method of directly seeding rice. This, however, is accompanied by increased ...

Seeds are essential for plant reproduction, survival, and dispersal. Germination ability and successful establishment of young seedlings strongly depend on seed quality and on environmental factors such as nutrient ...

Parasitic plants of the Striga species significantly damage cereals in sub-Saharan Africa. Current agricultural practices are insufficient to manage Striga infestation, necessitating sustainable approaches that harness ...
