Association Between Irisin Level and Cognitive Function: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis by Chengyan Han, Zining Zhou, Linlin Kong, Jing Lu, Xinyun Li

“…Besides, our results indicated that there were no correlations between irisin level and cognitive domains, including immediate memory, short‐term memory, executive function, attention, language, and visual spatial ability (all p > 0.05). Additionally, the results suggested a positive correlation between BDNF level and global cognitive function (r = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.12–0.42), as well as the correlation between irisin level and BDNF level (r = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.24–0.56). …”

Disruption-induced changes in syntrophic propionate and acetate oxidation: flocculation, cell proximity, and microbial activity by Nils Weng, Hossein Nadali Najafabadi, Maria Westerholm

“…Computational fluid dynamics modelling revealed that stirring generated higher shear rates (~ 20 s−1) and uniform cell distribution, while shaking led to lower shear rates and cell accumulation at the bottom of the culture bottle. Visual observations confirmed that stirring inhibited floc formation, while shaking promoted larger flocs compared to the static control condition, which formed smaller flocs and a sheet-like biofilm. …”
