Surgical Management of Young Women with High-Risk Breast Cancer Receiving Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy on the I-SPY2 Trial

BACKGROUND: Mastectomy rates in women with breast cancer are higher in younger women than in older women. The impact of this more extensive surgery on overall survival (OS) and locoregional recurrence in younger women is unknown, especially after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST...

Concentration-dependent alleviation of lead toxicity in rapeseed by elevated CO2 is associated with rhizosphere microbiome remodeling

Interactive effects of elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 ) and heavy metal pollution on plant–microbe systems are critical for predicting ecosystem responses under future climate scenarios. We investigated how eCO 2 modulates lead (Pb) toxicity in rapeseed ( Brassica napus ) and its rhizosphe...

Candidate gene identification and molecular marker development for the small granule starch trait in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

Abstract Cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) is both a vital staple and industrial cash crop, with growing global demand for specialty starches. Small granule cassava starch is highly valued for industrial uses because its reduced size, high amylose content, and improved processing eff...
