The effects of soil drought on evapotranspiration (ET) and canopy conductance (Gc) are extensively investigated in forests, but the responses of ET and Gc to atmospheric drought and compound drought still remain unclear in the plantations. Environmental factors and ET were continuously measured in a Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica plantation located in the semi-arid areas of Northeast China during the growing seasons (May–September) in 2020–2024.

Abstract Lipid metabolism plays a critical role in the progression of cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM). Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) exhibits a dual role in the tumor microenvironment: at high concentrations, it induces cell death and exerts anti-tumor effects, while at low doses, it demonstrates pro-tumorigenic activity. This study investigates the regulatory effects of low-dose TNF-α on the malignant behavior and lipid metabolism of GBM.
