FNDC5/irisin mitigates the cardiotoxic impacts of cancer chemotherapeutics by modulating ROS-dependent and -independent mechanisms by Manish Kumar, Abhishek Singh Sengar, Anushree Lye, Pranesh Kumar, Sukhes Mukherjee, Dinesh Kumar, Priyadip Das, Suvro Chatterjee, Adele Stewart, Biswanath Maity

“…In fact, FNDC5 forms a co-precipitable complex with Chk1 alluding to possible intracellular actions for this canonically membrane-associated protein. Whereas FNDC5 overexpression in murine heart was cardioprotective, introduction of FNDC5-targeted shRNA into the myocardium was sufficient to trigger Bax up-regulation, ATR/Chk1 activation, oxidative stress, cardiac fibrosis, loss of ventricular function, and compromised animal survival. …”

Detection of Bartonella spp. in foxes' populations in Piedmont and Aosta Valley (NW Italy) coupling geospatially-based techniques by Annalisa Viani, Tommaso Orusa, Sara Divari, Stella Lovisolo, Stefania Zanet, Riccardo Orusa, Enrico Borgogno-Mondino, Enrico Bollo

“…The study found that Bartonella spp. infections in foxes were positively associated with higher TCW values (>0.7). Canonical Correspondence Analysis further demonstrated a strong link between pathogen prevalence and municipal-level TCW, suggesting that TCW could be used as a parameter to facilitate disease management and control. …”

Making Maoshan Great Again: Religious Rhetoric and Popular Mobilisation from Late Qing to Republican China (1864–1937) by Qijun Zheng

“…Through a detailed analysis of primary sources, including editions of the <i>Maoshan Gazetteer</i>, liturgical manuals such as the scripture (<i>jing</i> 經), litany (<i>chan</i> 懺), and performative texts such as the precious scroll (<i>baojuan</i> 寶卷) of the Three Mao Lords, this study identifies six key rhetoric strategies employed by Maoshan Daoists, using the acronym IMPACT: (1) Incorporation: Appending miracle tales (<i>lingyan ji</i> 靈驗記) and divine medicine (<i>xianfang</i> 仙方) to address immediate and practical needs of contemporary society; (2) Memory: Preserving doctrinal continuity while invoking cultural nostalgia to reinforce connections to traditional values and heritage; (3) Performance: Collaborating with professional storytellers to disseminate vernacularized texts through oral performances, thereby reaching broader audiences including the illiterate. (4) Abridgment: Condensing lengthy texts into concise and accessible formats; (5) Canonization: Elevating the divine status of deities through spirit-writing, thereby enhancing their religious authority; (6) Translation: Rendering classical texts into vernacular language for broader accessibility. …”

Modeling Coupled Nonlinear Multilayered Dynamics: Cyber Attack and Disruption of an Electric Grid by Marc Mangel, Jimmie McEver

“…Second, we illustrate one of the Electric Power Research Institute scenarios for the reverse engineering of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) by coupling the synchronous motor equations for the generator and utility to the model of compromise. We derive a canonical condition for grid failure that relates the level of compromise at the time of detection of compromise and the dissipation parameter in the synchronous motor model. …”
