Disruption of the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Blunts a Time of Day-Dependent Variation in Systemic Anaphylactic Reaction in Mice by Yuki Nakamura, Kayoko Ishimaru, Yu Tahara, Shigenobu Shibata, Atsuhito Nakao

“…Here we report that the circadian clock may be an important regulator of anaphylaxis. In mammals, the central clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus synchronizes and entrains peripheral circadian clock present in virtually all cell types via neural and endocrine pathways, thereby driving the daily rhythms in behavior and physiology. …”

Patchiness of plankton ecosystem structure due to nutrient mixing along the shelf edge in the North Sea by Axelle Cordier, Jørgen Bendtsen, Niels Daugbjerg, Nikolaj From, Sigrún Huld Jónasdóttir, Erik Askov Mousing, Jens Tang Christensen, Teresa Silva, Katherine Richardson

“…Reports of higher abundances of fish and mammals at the shelf edge are common and we hypothesise that their distributions are a response to the impact of mid-water column nutrient upwelling on the plankton food web in the region.…”

Modelling transmission and control of Toxoplasma gondii in New Zealand farmland by Rachelle N. Binny, Graham J. Hickling, Alex James, Chris N. Niebuhr

“…In New Zealand’s rural environments, T. gondii creates economic losses for the farming industry and threatens vulnerable native avifauna and marine mammals. Predator control of rodents and feral cats has potential to reduce or even eliminate transmission of T. gondii on farms; however, the efficacy of such management is uncertain. …”

Hologenomic data generation and analysis in wild vertebrates by Carlotta Pietroni, Nanna Gaun, Aoife Leonard, Jonas Lauritsen, Garazi Martin‐Bideguren, Iñaki Odriozola, Ostaizka Aizpurua, Antton Alberdi, Raphael Eisenhofer

“…We also report that birds and bats both have substantially lower microbial DNA fractions and a higher degree of sample‐to‐sample variability compared to amphibians, reptiles and non‐flying mammals. Based on these data, we provide suggestions to the field for robustly and efficiently generating hologenomic data from wild vertebrates.…”

A feedback loop between Paxillin and Yorkie sustains Drosophila intestinal homeostasis and regeneration by Dan Jiang, Pengyue Li, Yi Lu, Jiaxin Tao, Xue Hao, Xiaodong Wang, Wei Wu, Jinjin Xu, Haoen Zhang, Xiaoyu Li, Yixing Chen, Yunyun Jin, Lei Zhang

“…Mechanistically, our findings demonstrate that Pax is a conserved target gene of the Hippo signaling pathway in both Drosophila and mammals. Subsequent investigations have revealed Pax interacts with Yki and enhances its cytoplasmic localization, thereby establishing a feedback regulatory mechanism that attenuates Yki activity and ultimately inhibits ISCs proliferation. …”
