Vegetation patterning can both impede and trigger critical transitions from savanna to grassland by Jelle van der Voort, Mara Baudena, Ehud Meron, Max Rietkerk, Arjen Doelman

“…Moreover, the model predicts vegetation patterns consisting of trees and grasses, particularly under harsh environmental conditions, which can persist in situations where a non-spatial version of the model predicts ecosystem collapse from savanna to grassland instead (a phenomenon called ‘Turing-evades-tipping’). …”

Toll like receptor 2 mediated exacerbation of sepsis associated acute kidney injury by renal congestion in mice by Itaru Nakamura, Minato Umehara, Aya Yagi-Tomita, Satomi Yamamoto, Shinji Sawai, Masashi Nakamura, Atsushi Minamida, Hiroko Yamauchi-Sawada, Yasuto Sunahara, Yayoi Matoba, Natsuko Okuno-Ozeki, Kunihiro Nakai, Tomohiro Nakata, Takashi Kitani, Noriyuki Yamashita, Kazumi Komaki, Yuhei Kirita, Keiichi Tamagaki, Satoaki Matoba, Tetsuro Kusaba

“…In TLR2-knockout mice, exacerbation of tissue fibrosis by renal congestion was attenuated after CLP. In vitro, oxidative stress and hypoxia up-regulated TLR2 expression. Collectively, these results suggest that renal congestion and sepsis synergistically worsened renal damage, likely through hypoxia and the oxidative stress-induced activation of the TLR2 pathway.…”

Exploring molecular and modular insights into space ionizing radiation effects through heterogeneous gene regulatory networks by Mengqin Yuan, Tao Zhang, Haizhou Liu, Min Long, Quan Wang, Wei Jiang

“…Radiation was also significantly linked to neoplasms and digestive system diseases. Furthermore, we predicted 20 potential therapeutic compounds, including small molecules (e.g., Navitoclax) and Traditional Chinese Medicine ingredients (e.g., Genistin, Saikosaponin D), which may alleviate radiation-induced damage such as pulmonary fibrosis and oxidative stress. …”

Relationship between cumulative peer risk and sense of security among adolescents: a moderated mediation model by Lili Ji, Yifan Yu, Jiaojiao Wan, Yafei Zhang, Junfeng Zhao, Chaoran Chen

“…Mediation analysis indicated that (a) cumulative peer risk significantly negatively predicted adolescents’ sense of security; (b) cumulative peer risk significantly negatively predicted self-efficacy, which in turn reduced adolescents’ sense of security; and moderated mediation analysis further demonstrated (c) That the first and second half of the mediation path were moderated differently by perceived social support. …”
