Mechanically activated ion channel Piezo1 modulates macrophage polarization and stiffness sensing
7hNature Communications, Published online: 31 May 2021; doi:10.1038/s41467-021-23482-5 Macrophages perform diverse functions during immune responses, but the molecular mechanisms by which physical properties of the tissue regulate macrophage behavior remain unknown. Here the authors find that Piezo1 is a mechanosensor of stiffness, and that its activity modulates macrophage polarization responses.
Model-based analysis uncovers mutations altering autophagy selectivity in human cancer
7hNature Communications, Published online: 31 May 2021; doi:10.1038/s41467-021-23539-5 Although autophagy has been linked to tumourigenesis, it is unclear how genomic alterations affect autophagy selectivity in tumours. Here, the authors establish a pipeline that integrates computational and experimental approaches to show that altered autophagy selectivity is frequent in cancer cells and link glyc
Impaired calcium signaling in astrocytes modulates autism spectrum disorder-like behaviors in mice
7hNature Communications, Published online: 31 May 2021; doi:10.1038/s41467-021-23843-0 Astrocytes contribute to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) pathophysiology. Here, the authors show that IP3R2 conditional KO mice show ASD-like behaviours and identify astrocyte-derived ATP as a modulator of these behaviours in mice.
Impact of COVID-19 outbreaks and interventions on influenza in China and the United States
7hNature Communications, Published online: 31 May 2021; doi:10.1038/s41467-021-23440-1 Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) implemented to interrupt COVID-19 transmission may also impact the spread of other infectious diseases. Here, the authors estimate that influenza activity in China and the United States reduced by up to 80% when NPIs were in place in the 2019–2020 season.
Development of selective bispecific Wnt mimetics for bone loss and repair
7hNature Communications, Published online: 31 May 2021; doi:10.1038/s41467-021-23374-8 Antibody-based Wnt agonists are able to phenocopy Wnt signaling in vivo resulting in increased bone density, repair, and strength. Here, the authors show that Wnt agonists can reverse bone loss associated with ovariectomy and build stronger bone when administered after fracture.
Acetylation of PAX7 controls muscle stem cell self-renewal and differentiation potential in mice
7hNature Communications, Published online: 31 May 2021; doi:10.1038/s41467-021-23577-z The acetyltransferase MYST1 stimulated by acetyl-CoA, and the deacetylase SIRT2 stimulated by NAD+, regulate PAX7 acetylation in muscle stem cells, which in turn, regulates stem cell self-renewal and regeneration following injury in mouse skeletal muscle.
Analys av järnåldersskelett kan ge polisen kriminaltekniska verktyg

Kunskapen kan tillämpas även vid nyare brottsplatsundersökningar. Clara Alfsdotter har nyligen disputerat i arkeologi inom forskarskolan GRASCA på Linnéuniv
U.S. Southwest, Already Parched, Sees ‘Virtual Water’ Drain Abroad
7hThe export of crops and the water they contain, known as virtual water, has been accelerating for decades, despite concerns that the system is unsustainable in drought-stricken areas such as the Southwest. Even as climate change worsens droughts, virtual water trading is expected to triple globally by 2100.
What researchers do with free EEG data?
7hHello, It is in my mind for a while. What researchers do with a free EEG databse? I mean it belongs to other people that you don't know them, so you cannot collect more data, for instance self-report or behavioral. How do they conduct research based on this data? They do not belong to the same people for your other variables, outcome variables. submitted by /u/helloiambrain [link] [comments]
