Association of fetal growth trajectory with mitochondrial DNA copy number in the cord blood of newborns: evidence from a birth cohort by Kai Chen, Kai Chen, Junwei Li, Luli Xu, Xiaoxuan Fan, Zhongqiang Cao, Lulu Song, Youjie Wang, Youjie Wang, Chao Xiong, Chao Xiong, Aifen Zhou, Aifen Zhou

“…ObjectiveMitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn), an indicator of mitochondrial damage and dysfunction, is widely used in research related to growth and metabolic health. While fetal intrauterine growth has been reported to impact further metabolic health, there is limited evidence regarding the relationship between fetal growth patterns and newborn mtDNAcn, especially in infants with normal birth weights, where varying fetal growth patterns can occur despite having the same birth weight. …”

Improving phenological event identification in trees using manually measured dendrometer data: conventional approaches vs. the novel two-stage threshold approach by Przemysław A. Jankowski, Przemysław A. Jankowski, Rafael Calama, Jorge Aldea, Matías García, Guillermo Madrigal, Marta Pardos

“…Accurate detection of phenological events, such as growth onset, cessation, and seasonal transitions, is essential for understanding tree growth dynamics, particularly in Mediterranean forests where bimodal growth patterns are common. While microcore analysis remains the most precise method, its labor-intensive nature has led researchers to rely on dendrometer-based approaches. …”
