Article Abstract
Introduction: Clonal fragmentation helps to assess clonal plants' growth resilience to human and environmental disturbance. Although clonal integration in epiphytes in tropical rubber plantations is important to understand their role in enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services, research on this subject is limited. These plantations are typically monospecific economic forests that face increased anthropogenic disturbances.
Methods: In this study, we selected the clonal fern to study its survival status, biomass, maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (F/F), and frond length in response to the level of clonal fragmentation in a tropical rubber plantation.
Results And Discussion: The results showed that (1) clonal fragmentation significantly negatively affected the survival rate, biomass, and frond length of clonal plants, but with minimal effects on F/F at different growth stages; (2) the performance of a ramet (e.g., biomass or frond length) increased with ramet developmental ages and decreased with the number of ramets in a clonal fragment. The age-dependent impacts of clonal fragmentation provide insights into the biodiversity conservation of epiphytes and forest management in man-made plantations. Therefore, to better conserve the biodiversity in tropical forests, especially in environment-friendly rubber plantations, there is a need to reduce anthropogenic disturbances and alleviate the level of fragmentation.

: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a heterogeneous clonal hematopoietic disorder characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis and leukemic transformation risk. Current therapies show limited efficacy, with ~50% of patients failing hypomethylating agents. This review aims to synthesize recent discoveries through an integrated network model and examine translation into precision therapeutic approaches.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal hematopoietic disorders characterized by excessive proliferation of one or more myeloid lineages, frequently accompanied by an elevated risk of thrombotic events. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases, are implicated in numerous inflammatory and vascular pathophysiological processes. In this study, we analyzed the association between selected polymorphisms, rs1799750, rs243865, rs3025058, rs3918242, and rs17576, and thrombotic risk as well as clinical characteristics in patients with MPNs.

Background: Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a major pathogen that poses significant risks to immunocompromised individuals and neonates. The tegument protein pp71, encoded by the UL82 gene, plays a pivotal role in initiating viral lytic replication and evading host immune responses. Despite its clinical relevance, standardized monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for pp71 remain limited, prompting the need to expand the available repertoire of antibodies targeting this critical protein.

Background: Advances in next-generation sequencing technologies have facilitated extensive analysis of B cell and T cell receptor (BCR/TCR, respectively) sequences from monoclonal hybridoma libraries, single B cells, and single T cells, generating vast amounts of important data pertaining to antigen recognition. However, existing workflows and bioinformatics tools often lack the flexibility and scalability needed to handle large clonal level datasets effectively. An initial system and hybridoma dependent version of this code was distributed as part of the NeuroMabSeq publication, but clonevdjseq aims to be a technical addendum for broader system compatibility and enhanced modeling.

Temperate bacteriophages contribute to its virulence and facilitate the dissemination of pathogenicity traits. We isolated a novel siphovirus of the genus, ASZ22RN, derived from a prophage of an clonal complex 7 strain and capable of propagating in the prophage-free laboratory strain RN4220.
