Intercellular communication is crucial in the regulation of healthy aging via exosomes by Huifang Sun, Tengyuan Xia, Shuting Ma, Tao Lv, Yuhong Li

“…The hallmarks of aging encompass a variety of molecular categories (genomic, telomeric, and epigenetic), organelles (proteostasis, autophagy, and mitochondria), cellular components (including stem cells), systems (such as intercellular communication and chronic inflammation), and environmental factors (dysbiosis and nutrient sensing). These hallmarks play a crucial role in the aging process. …”

Species distribution modelling of invasive alien species; Pterois miles for current distribution and future suitable habitats by C. Turan

“…The mean sea surface temperature and maximum bathymetry played an important role in the prediction of the model and explained relatively higher biological importance to the extension and adaptation of <em>P. miles</em> with extreme environmental factors. The predicted suitable habitats of <em>P. miles</em> under the current climate dominantly occurred in the east parts of coastal areas of the Mediterranean. …”

A multiscale model for heterogeneous tumor spheroid in vitro by Zhan Chen, Yuting Zou

“…The entire tumor spheroid is described by an ellipsoid-based model while nutrient and other environmental factors are treated as continua. The ellipsoid-based discrete component is capable of incorporating mechanical effects and deformability, while keeping a minimum set of free variables to describe complex shape variations. …”

Proinflammatory Effects of Diesel Exhaust Nanoparticles on Scleroderma Skin Cells by A. Mastrofrancesco, M. Alfè, E. Rosato, V. Gargiulo, C. Beatrice, G. Di Blasio, B. Zhang, D. S. Su, M. Picardo, S. Fiorito

“…Autoimmune diseases are complex disorders of unknown etiology thought to result from interactions between genetic and environmental factors. We aimed to verify whether environmental pollution from diesel engine exhaust nanoparticulate (DEP) of actually operating vehicles could play a role in the development of a rare immune-mediated disease, systemic sclerosis (SSc), in which the pathogenetic role of environment has been highlighted. …”
