Landscape connectivity alters the evolution of density-dependent dispersal during pushed range expansions by Dahirel, Maxime, Bertin, Aline, Calcagno, Vincent, Duraj, Camille, Fellous, Simon, Groussier, Géraldine, Lombaert, Eric, Mailleret, Ludovic, Marchand, Anaël, Vercken, Elodie

“…Range expansions can be ranked on a continuum going from pulled dynamics, in which low-density edge populations provide the “fuel” for the advance, to pushed dynamics in which high-density rear populations “push” the expansion forward. While theory suggests that evolution during range expansions could lead pushed expansions to become pulled with time, empirical comparisons of phenotypic divergence in pushed vs. pulled contexts are lacking. …”

Targeting adipocyte ESRRA promotes osteogenesis and vascular formation in adipocyte-rich bone marrow by Tongling Huang, Zhaocheng Lu, Zihui Wang, Lixin Cheng, Lu Gao, Jun Gao, Ning Zhang, Chang-An Geng, Xiaoli Zhao, Huaiyu Wang, Chi-Wai Wong, Kelvin W. K. Yeung, Haobo Pan, William Weijia Lu, Min Guan

“…ESRRA abrogation results in enhanced SPP1 and decreased leptin secretion from both visceral adipocytes and BMAds, concertedly dictating bone marrow stromal stem cell fate commitment and restoring type H vessel formation, constituting a feed-forward loop for bone formation. Pharmacological inhibition of ESRRA protects obese mice against bone loss and high marrow adiposity. …”
