SF1-specific deletion of the energy sensor AMPKγ2 induces obesity by Óscar Freire-Agulleiro, Ánxela Estévez-Salguero, Vitor Ferreira, Cassie Lynn Holleman, Julia García-Currás, Ismael González-García, Rubén Nogueiras, Manuel Tena-Sempere, Cristina García-Cáceres, Carlos Diéguez, Miguel López

“…Results: Our findings reveal that, in contrast to the obesity-protective effect of the genetic deletion of AMPKα subunits, the loss of AMPKγ2 in SF1 neurons leads to a sex-independent and feeding-independent obesity-prone phenotype due to decreased thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) and reduced browning of WAT, resulting in lower energy expenditure. …”

Optimization of microprobe analysis of cementitious materials incorporating glass powder under electron beam to avoid alkali migration by Wena de Nazaré do Rosário Martel, Josée Duchesne, Benoît Fournier

“…However, alkali migration induced by electron irradiation - a well-known phenomenon in inorganic materials - remains underexplored in this context. This migration often leads to underestimation of Na and K and overestimation of Si and Ca, thus compromising the analysis of key elements in cementitious hydrates, such as C-S-H. …”

Dysregulation of the NLRP3 Inflammasome and Promotion of Disease by IL-1β in a Murine Model of Sandhoff Disease by Nick Platt, Dawn Shepherd, David A. Smith, Claire Smith, Kerri-Lee Wallom, Raashid Luqmani, Grant C. Churchill, Antony Galione, Frances M. Platt

“…The NLRP3 inflammasome requires two signals, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and ATP, to prime and activate the complex, respectively, leading to IL-1β secretion. Peritoneal, but not bone-marrow-derived, macrophages from symptomatic SD mice, but not those from pre-symptomatic animals, secrete the cytokine following priming with LPS with no requirement for activation with ATP, suggesting that such NLRP3 deregulation is related to the extent of glycosphingolipid storage. …”
