“…Males were assigned to one of the four groups: (1) control: males were placed alone in a clean cage; (2) social exposure to a female (SE m/f): males that could see, hear, and smell a sexually receptive female but where physical contact was not possible, because the animals were separated by an acrylic screen with small holes; (3) social exposure to a male (SE m/m): same as group 2 but males were exposed to another male without physical contact; and (4) social cohabitation with mating (SCM): males that mated freely with a receptive female for 6 h. …”

An analysis of observed and predicted extreme heat and precipitation trends across four pulse producing regions in North America: North Dakota, Montana, Saskatchewan, and Northeast... by Sophia Weiss, Erin Coughlan de Perez

“…The consumption of plant-based proteins in lieu of animal proteins is the most important dietary shift that would be needed to keep the world under 2 °C of warming, and this shift would require a dramatic increase in the percentage of cropland devoted to nuts and pulses (Peters et al 2016 Elementa 4 000116). …”

GluN2D-containing NMDA receptors in parvalbumin neurons in the nucleus accumbens regulate nocifensive responses in neuropathic pain by Sukanya G. Gakare, Gajanan P. Shelkar, Dinesh Y. Gawande, Ratnamala Pavuluri, Pauravi J. Gandhi, Shashank M. Dravid

“…Using conditional KO strategy, we addressed the region- and cell-type involved in GluN2D-mediated changes in CINP. Animals with conditional deletion of GluN2D receptors from parvalbumin interneurons (PVIs) or local ablation of GluN2D from nucleus accumbens (NAc) displayed reduced mechanical hypersensitivity in CINP, underscoring the pivotal role of accumbal GluN2D in PVIs in neuropathic pain. …”

FNDC5/irisin mitigates the cardiotoxic impacts of cancer chemotherapeutics by modulating ROS-dependent and -independent mechanisms by Manish Kumar, Abhishek Singh Sengar, Anushree Lye, Pranesh Kumar, Sukhes Mukherjee, Dinesh Kumar, Priyadip Das, Suvro Chatterjee, Adele Stewart, Biswanath Maity

“…Whereas FNDC5 overexpression in murine heart was cardioprotective, introduction of FNDC5-targeted shRNA into the myocardium was sufficient to trigger Bax up-regulation, ATR/Chk1 activation, oxidative stress, cardiac fibrosis, loss of ventricular function, and compromised animal survival. The detrimental impact of FNDC5 depletion on heart function could be mitigated via treatment with a Chk1 inhibitor identifying Chk1 hyperactivity as a causative factor in cardiac disease. …”
