Early precursor-derived pituitary gland tissue-resident macrophages play a pivotal role in modulating hormonal balance by Henna Lehtonen, Heli Jokela, Julian Hofmann, Lauriina Tola, Arfa Mehmood, Florent Ginhoux, Burkhard Becher, Melanie Greter, Gennady G. Yegutkin, Marko Salmi, Heidi Gerke, Pia Rantakari

“…Importantly, all pitMØs originate from early yolk sac progenitors and maintain themselves through self-renewal, independent of bone marrow-derived monocytes. Macrophage depletion experiments unveil the role of macrophages in regulating intrapituitary hormonal balance through extracellular ATP-mediated intercellular signaling. …”

The ubiquitin ligase Pellino1 targets STAT3 to regulate macrophage-mediated inflammation and tumor development by Soeun Hwang, Junhee Park, Seo-Young Koo, Si-Yeon Lee, Yunju Jo, Dongryeol Ryu, Heounjeong Go, Chang-Woo Lee

“…Here, we show that Pellino1 levels are elevated in patients with colitis, patients with colitis-associated colon cancer (CAC), and murine models of these conditions. In a monocyte-specific Pellino1 knock-out mouse model, we find reduced macrophage migration and activation, leading to attenuated development of colitis and CAC in male mice. …”

Postnatal Hematopoiesis and Gut Microbiota in NOD Mice Deviate from C57BL/6 Mice by Dina Silke Malling Damlund, Stine Broeng Metzdorff, Jane Preuss Hasselby, Maria Wiese, Mia Lundsager, Dennis Sandris Nielsen, Karsten Stig Buschard, Axel Kornerup Hansen, Hanne Frøkiær

“…Furthermore, a distinct splenic cell profile high in a granulocytic phenotype was evident in the neonatal NOD mice whereas neonatal C57BL/6 mice showed a profile rich in monocytes. Neonatal expression of Reg3g and Muc2 in the gut was deviating in NOD mice and coincided with fewer bacteria attaching to the Mucosal surface in NOD compared to C57BL/6 mice.…”

Repeated Successful Nest Sharing and Cooperation Between Western Kingbirds (Tyrannus verticalis) and a Female Western Kingbird × Scissor‐Tailed Flycatcher (T. forficatus) Hybrid... by Alexander J. Worm, Emily R. Donahue, Than J. Boves, Andrew D. Sweet

“…ABSTRACT Nest sharing by birds, or the phenomenon where multiple individuals of different species contribute genetically and parentally to offspring in a single nest, is a rare form of cooperative breeding that has only occasionally been reported in socially monogamous birds. Here we describe, both behaviorally and genetically, the unique case of two female birds, a western kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis) and a western kingbird × scissor‐tailed flycatcher (T. forficatus) hybrid, simultaneously occupying (and likely co‐incubating eggs in) a single nest. …”

Targeted Next-Generation Resequencing of Gene Identifies Novel Multiple Variants Pattern in Severe Hereditary Factor V Deficiency by Piotr K. Janicki, Sonia Vaida, Hamid A. B. AL-Mondhiry

“…Five mutations in the coding sequence of , including three missense single-nucleotide variants (R2102H, R513K, D107H) and two synonymous variants (A135A , S184S), were identified and confirmed by the Sanger sequencing in the investigated proband (homozygote for all detected mutations), her parents, and her newborn child (all heterozygotic carriers for identified mutations). …”

The analysis of youth-related anglicisms among Bosnian youth - knowledge of their original form and meaning and attitudes towards them by Delić Haris, Dedović-Atilla Elma

“…The findings revealed that the usage of Anglicisms among Bosnian youth is not so frequent and that young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina are more familiar with the original written forms than with their translation/synonyms in the Bosnian language. Moreover, knowledge of these two forms of anglicisms shows variation only relative to a grade in English, while gender and age were found to be irrelevant. …”
