GROWTH AND FECUNDITY OF NONNATIVE BLUE HONEYSUCKLE CULTIVARS: COMPARISONS WITH NATIVE AND INVASIVE CONGENERS IN A MAINE FIELD TRIAL

Growth and Fecundity of Nonnative Blue Honeysuckle Cultivars: Comparisons with Native and Invasive Congeners in a Maine Field Trial

Blue honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) is a circumpolar species complex with representatives in Europe, Asia, and North America.Although honeysuckles (Lonicera spp.) from Eurasia have a history of invasiveness in North America, farmers and homeowners are interested in growing nonnative blue honeysuckle hybrids because of their edible blue fruits.To a

Complement C5a induces the generation of neutrophil extracellular traps by inhibiting mitochondrial STAT3 to promote the development of arterial thrombosis

Abstract Background Thrombotic events cannot be completely prevented by antithrombotics, implicating 8x4.25 a therapeutic gap due to inflammation, a not yet sufficiently addressed mechanism.Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are an essential interface between inflammation and thrombosis, but exactly how the NETotic process is initiated and maint
