Noncanonical roles of ATG5 and membrane atg8ylation in retromer assembly and function by Masroor Ahmad Paddar, Fulong Wang, Einar S Trosdal, Emily Hendrix, Yi He, Michelle R Salemi, Michal Mudd, Jingyue Jia, Thabata Duque, Ruheena Javed, Brett S Phinney, Vojo Deretic

“…ATG5 is one of the core autophagy proteins with additional functions such as noncanonical membrane atg8ylation, which among a growing number of biological outputs includes control of tuberculosis in animal models. Here, we show that ATG5 associates with retromer’s core components VPS26, VPS29, and VPS35 and modulates retromer function. …”

Effect of Culture Media on the Yield and Protein Content of Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) Kumm Mycelia by Kayise Hypercia Maseko, Thierry Regnier, Obiro Cuthbert Wokadala, Paul Bartels, Belinda Meiring

“…The development of alternative proteins derived from fungi-based sources is gaining recognition due to their health benefits and lower environmental impact, compared to traditional animal-based sources. In this study, we investigated the culture conditions for Pleurotus ostreatus mycelia, focusing on the nutritional requirements and yield optimization using solid surface culture and liquid-state culture methods. …”

Indirect evidence of an early mating advantage in wild cooperatively breeding male banded mongooses by Graham Birch, Michael A. Cant, Hazel J. Nichols, Magali Meniri, Robert Businge, Francis Mwanguhya, Jonathan D. Blount

“…We carry out an indirect rare test of an early mating advantage in a population of free-living wild animals. Using Bayesian GLMM analysis of a long-term life history database spanning 17 years, we show that banded mongoose males who interacted with females in earlier days of oestrus had a higher chance of siring their offspring compared with later rivals. …”

Central Mechanisms of Abnormal Sympathoexcitation in Chronic Heart Failure by Takuya Kishi, Yoshitaka Hirooka

“…Central renin angiotensin system, proinflammatory cytokines, and the interaction between them have been determined as the target of the sympathoinhibitory treatment in experimental animal models with chronic heart failure. In conclusion, we must recognize that chronic heart failure is a syndrome with an abnormal sympathoexcitation, which is caused by the abnormalities in the central regulation of sympathetic nerve activity.…”
