Folate alleviated skin inflammation and fibrosis resulting from impaired homocysteine metabolism by Jiefeng Huang, Wuyan Lu, Shenli Zhao, Zixin Cai, Linxiao Li, Zihao Hu, Yu Jiang, Jinyi Deng, Yiming Tang, Chenzhang Shi, Chen Wang, Guangpeng Liu, Shuaijun Li

“…Fibrotic skin fibroblasts exhibited elevated levels of Hcy due to the downregulation of catabolism genes CBS and MTR. Experimental skin fibrosis was induced and exacerbated in mouse skin fibroblasts and tissues through adenoviral knockdown of Cbs or Mtr, whereas overexpression of these catabolic genes mitigated the pathogenesis. …”

Annual cycle variations in the gut microbiota of migratory black-necked cranes by Yujia Zhang, Ruifeng Ma, Suolangduoerji, Shujuan Ma, Shujuan Ma, Akebota Nuertai, Ke He, Hongyi Liu, Ying Zhu

“…However, the annual dynamics of gut microbiota in migratory birds remain unclear, hindering our understanding of their environmental adaptation.MethodsHere, we collected fecal samples from black-necked cranes (Grus nigricollis) across four seasons at their breeding grounds and used wintering ground data from databases to characterize their gut microbial compositions throughout the year.Results and discussionThe results showed that the gut microbiota was clustered by season (Bray-Curtis: R2 = 0.348, p &lt; 0.001; UniFrac: R2 = 0.352, p &lt; 0.001). …”

From Peril to Protection: an evaluation of regulations impacting eScooter injuries by Leslie M Kobayashi, Todd W Costantini, Jay J Doucet, Jarrett E Santorelli, Laura N Haines, Kendra M Black

“…These eScooter-related traumatic injuries led to local advocacy efforts, resulting in safety restrictions including speed limit geofencing, sidewalk restrictions, and limiting the number of eScooter providers in high-density population areas. We hypothesized that these local safety restrictions decreased the number of eScooter-related injuries presenting to our trauma center. …”
