Electron-irradiated superabsorbent polymers enhance soil water retention, ion homeostasis, and yield resilience of wheat across a salinity gradient

Soil salinity restricts wheat productivity by reducing water availability, disrupting ion homeostasis, and impairing physiological and reproductive processes. Superabsorbent polymers can improve soil water retention, but the agronomic value of electron-irradiated SAPs relative to...

Plasma p-tau217 as a two-cutoff approach to improve tau-PET screening and trial recruitment in Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract Blood-based biomarkers could broaden access to Alzheimer’s disease diagnostics, but their ability to approximate tau PET, and to address gray-zone results, remains uncertain. We evaluated plasma p-tau217 against tau PET using a harmonized ADNI baseline cohort and an inde...
