Multi-Omics Analysis Combined with Machine Learning Identified FABP4 in Smooth Muscle Cells as a Pathogenic Factor in Atherosclerosis by Wang Y, Shang T, Cai R, Wang C

“…Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a crucial role in atherosclerotic pathogenesis. However, effective drugs and therapy targeting SMCs for treating atherosclerosis are still lacking.Methods: We utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) (GSE155512 and GSE159677) and array data (GSE43292 and GSE125771) to identify Scissor+ SMCs (SMCs positively associated with atherosclerosis) and Scissor- SMCs (SMCs negatively associated with atherosclerosis) by using Scissor package. …”

Vertical sonar beam width and scanning behavior of wild belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) in West Greenland. by Marie J Zahn, Kristin L Laidre, Peter Stilz, Marianne H Rasmussen, Jens C Koblitz

“…The mean apparent source level for on-axis clicks was 212 dB pp re 1 μPa and whales were shown to vertically scan the array from 120 meters distance. Our findings support the hypothesis that highly directional sonar beams and high source levels are an evolutionary adaptation for Arctic odontocetes to reduce unwanted surface echoes from sea ice (i.e., acoustic clutter) and effectively navigate through leads in the pack ice (e.g., find breathing holes). …”
