NMDA Reduces Tau Phosphorylation in Rat Hippocampal Slices by Targeting NR2A Receptors, GSK3β, and PKC Activities by Audrée De Montigny, Ismaël Elhiri, Julie Allyson, Michel Cyr, Guy Massicotte

“…Our results demonstrated that Tau phosphorylation at Ser199-202 residues was decreased in NMDA-treated hippocampal slices, an effect that was not reproduced at Ser262 and Ser404 epitopes. NMDA-induced reduction of Tau phosphorylation at Ser199-202 was further promoted when NR2A-containing receptors were pharmacologically isolated and were completely abrogated by the NR2A receptor antagonist NVP-AAM077. …”

Trade-off strategies between growth and defense of spring ephemeral plants in early spring by Liben Pan, Liben Pan, Tianqi Wang, Tianqi Wang, Vladimir L. Gavrikov, Xiaorui Guo, Xiaorui Guo, Liqiang Mu, Zhonghua Tang, Zhonghua Tang

“…Plants at higher elevations demonstrated higher leaf dry matter content and leaf total flavonoid concentration, and lower nitrogen concentration, influenced by temperature, precipitation, and soil nutrients.DiscussionThese results demonstrated that spring ephemerals have a strong nutrient uptake capacity, and adopt resource competition strategies to rapidly accumulate nutrients and reproduce. The plants at higher elevations adopt more conservative strategies, with trait networks showing increased modularity, edge density, and closer correlations among traits to enhance resource utilization. …”

Optimizing lipopeptide bioactivity: The impact of non-ionic surfactant dressing by Ágnes Ábrahám, Gergő Gyulai, Judith Mihály, Andrea Horváth, Orsolya Dobay, Zoltán Varga, Éva Kiss, Kata Horváti

“…The solubility and homogeneity of the lipopeptides were significantly increased, and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements showed the formation of small particles of around 20 nm, which were well reproducible and storable. Similar homogenous micelle formation was observed after freeze-drying and reconstitution with water. …”

A Multiwavelength Light-curve Analysis of the Classical Nova KT Eri: Optical Contribution from a Large Irradiated Accretion Disk by Izumi Hachisu, Mariko Kato, Frederick M. Walter

“…Recent photometric analysis in quiescence indicates a relatively longer orbital period of 2.6 days, so that KT Eri could host a very bright accretion disk during the outburst like in the recurrent nova U Sco, the orbital period of which is 1.23 days. We reproduced the optical V light curve as well as the supersoft X-ray light curve of KT Eri in outburst, assuming a large irradiated disk during a nova wind phase of the outburst while a normal size disk after the nova winds stop. …”
