Exploring Inflammatory Changes in the Peripheral Blood of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in China by Li D, Zhang Z, Li W, Zhao C, Li X, Pan Z, Li Y

“…There was a significant decrease in monocytes due to increased cell apoptosis caused by sustained high glucose stimulation. Hyperglycemia reduced monocyte viability and altered monocyte subgroups by increasing the number of intermediate and non-classical monocytes.Conclusion: In summary, our work reveals that patients with T2DM do have variations of peripheral inflammation biomarkers, especially monocytes.Keywords: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, peripheral inflammation, monocytes…”

Loss of pelagic fish and zooplankton density associated with subglacial upwelling in high Arctic estuaries may be mitigated by benthic habitat expansion following tidewater glacier... by Victor Gonzalez Triginer, Arunima Sen, Maxime Geoffroy, Børge Damsgård

“…We used Billefjorden, a high Arctic fjord with a glacier recently transitioned from sea- to land-terminating as a case study to identify spatial differences and small-scale environmental drivers of density and vertical distribution of fish and zooplankton along a gradient of glacier retreat (directly in front of the land-terminating glacier front, a river bay with terrestrial input from land-terminating glaciers further inland and a location with minimal glacial input). We developed a sustainable and efficient protocol to safely sample the glacier front and shallow coastal areas using hydroacoustics and a remote autonomous vehicle combined with oceanographic measurements and baited remote cameras. …”
