Ultrastructural studies distinguish skin diversities among Galápagos iguanas by Manuel Scimeca, Rita Bonfiglio, Giuliano Colosimo, Eleonora Candi, Glenn P. Gerber, Gregory A. Lewbart, Alessandro Mauriello, Gerry Melino, Christian Sevilla, Yufang Shi, Ying Wang, Gabriele Gentile

“…The presence of a thickened stratum corneum and the stratification of the epidermis in non-pigmented skin could help the pink iguana to cope with the extreme conditions of the Wolf volcano, especially in relation to UV exposure. These skin characteristics may reduce the penetration power of UV rays into the superficial loose dermis, thereby attenuating potential UV-related damage such as DNA breaks and ROS generation. …”

Post-Hercynian ultrahigh-temperature tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Middle Atlas lower crust (central Morocco) revealed by metapelitic granulite xenoliths by A. El Maz, A. Vauchez, J.-M. Dautria

“…It may result either from the thermal event associated with the pre-alpine rifting or from the emplacement of basaltic dikes in the lower crust before the Quaternary eruption of the Tafraoute volcano. During this eruption, the studied granulites were entrapped in the ascending lava and very quickly transferred up to the surface, triggering the formation of small vesicular glass pockets. …”

Metabolic Modulation and Potential Biomarkers of the Prognosis Identification for Severe Aortic Stenosis after TAVR by a Metabolomics Study by Yanbiao Liao, Chang Liu, Tianyuan Xiong, Mingyue Zhao, Wen Zheng, Yuan Feng, Yijian Li, Yuanweixiang Ou, Zhengang Zhao, Yong Peng, Jiafu Wei, Qiao Li, Wei Meng, Xiaojing Liu, Mao Chen

“…The early (within 7 days after TAVR) changed metabolites in the peripheral vein were involved in purine metabolism, primary bile acid biosynthesis, glycerolipid metabolism, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, one carbon pool by folate and alanine, and the aspartate and glutamate metabolism pathway. We used volcano plots to find that the cardiac-specific changed metabolites were enriched to the sphingolipid metabolism pathway after TAVR. …”
