Overcoming β-Cell Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: CD36 Inhibition and Antioxidant System by Il Rae Park, Yong Geun Chung, Kyu Chang Won

“…Cluster determinant 36 (CD36), an essential glycoprotein responsible for fatty acid uptake, exacerbates oxidative stress and induces the apoptosis of β-cells under hyperglycemic conditions through pathways involving ceramide, thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), and Rac1-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX)-mediated redoxosome formation. Targeting CD36 pathways has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. …”

Natural and anthropogenic noise shape bat activity and sonar behavior by Ryan Vosbigian, Ryan Wardle, Hannah S. Rempel, Ellie Brauer, Michael Huggins, Samantha West, Joshua S. Willems, Clinton D. Francis

“…We also observed that T. brasiliensis modified call duration and frequency in response to river playbacks in a manner consistent with a behavioral switch from foraging to navigating. Overall, we found evidence that temporal patterning of noise may strongly influence bat activity and that signaling in noise may involve trade‐offs among call features.…”

La adaptación de un espacio para la educación de los sordomudos en el siglo XIX mexicano. Experiencias y avatares en la construcción de una cultura escolar by María Isabel Vega Muytoy

“…Esta institución puede ser concebida como pionera en lo que actualmente se conoce como educación especial. Este artículo forma parte de una investigación más amplia que estudió la construcción de la cultura escolar de la Escuela Nacional de Sordomudos en sus primeros años de existencia; no obstante, el objetivo de este trabajo únicamente se centra en dar a conocer cómo se cristalizó uno de los tres elementos que el historiador francés Dominique Julia (1995) consideró indispensables para la configuración de una cultura escolar institucional: el espacio propio, esto es, el espacio físico que permitiría la organización y consolidación del proyecto educativo. …”
