Propithecus verreauxi demography spanning 40 years at Bezà Mahafaly Special Reserve, southwest Madagascar by Joelisoa Ratsirarson, Jeannin Ranaivonasy, Richard Lawler, Isabella Fiorentino, Nelson Rios, Alison Richard

“…Research on these species contributes to significant theoretical issues, including the evolution of mammalian life histories and social systems. Virtually all 107 extant lemur species are threatened with extinction or critically endangered, and a better understanding of demography and the drivers of demographic change is needed to inform management strategies for surviving wild populations. …”

mTOR Modulates the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced CD4+ T Cell Apoptosis Mediated by ROS in Septic Immunosuppression by Hao Wang, Jianwei Chen, Guangxu Bai, Wen Han, Ran Guo, Na Cui

“…When sepsis attacks the body, the excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production can result to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and eventually cause lymphocyte apoptosis. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is essential for regulating lymphocyte apoptosis; we hypothesized that it mediates CD4+ T cell apoptosis during ROS-related ERS. …”

Erythropoietin, Forkhead Proteins, and Oxidative Injury: Biomarkers and Biology by Kenneth Maiese, Jinling Hou, Zhao Zhong Chong, Yan Chen Shang

“…In particular, both the growth factor and cytokine erythropoietin (EPO), and members of the mammalian forkhead transcription factors of the O class (FoxOs), may offer the greatest promise for new treatment regimens, since these agents and the cellular pathways they oversee cover a range of critical functions that directly influence progenitor cell development, cell survival and degeneration, metabolism, immune function, and cancer cell invasion. …”
