Tapping natures rhythm: the role of season in mitochondrial function and genetics in the UK biobank by Anastasios Papadam, Mihail Mihov, Adriana Koller, Hansi Weissensteiner, Klaus Stark, Felix Grassmann

“…Methods We leveraged data from individuals participating in the UK Biobank study and computed their mitochondrial abundance from Exome sequencing reads mapping to the mitochondrial genome. The seasonal effect was modelled as a sine-cosine function across the year and changes in amplitude, acrophase and displacement of mitochondrial abundance due to various demographic, lifestyle, genetic, proteomic, and metabolomic markers were investigated with multivariate regression. …”

Spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitors disrupt human neutrophil swarming and antifungal functions by Alex Hopke, Adam L. Viens, Natalie J. Alexander, Seok Joon Mun, Michael K. Mansour, Daniel Irimia

“…We show that inhibitors that interfere with PI3Ky signaling disrupt the regulation of the initiation of swarming, while the activation of JNK signaling is essential for the activation of biochemical antifungal functions. Furthermore, we reveal that granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (GCSF and GM-CSF) can partially rescue the antifungal functions of neutrophils exposed to SYK inhibitors. …”

Evidence of functional connectivity disruptions between auditory and non-auditory regions in adolescents living with HIV by Joanah Madzime, Joanah Madzime, Marcin Jankiewicz, Marcin Jankiewicz, Marcin Jankiewicz, Ernesta M. Meintjes, Ernesta M. Meintjes, Ernesta M. Meintjes, Peter Torre, Barbara Laughton, Martha J. Holmes, Martha J. Holmes, Martha J. Holmes, Martha J. Holmes

“…Additionally, language processing requires the efficient interaction between central auditory system (CAS) brain regions and non-auditory regions. Investigating the functional connectivity (FC) within the CAS and between the CAS and non-auditory regions may reveal the influence of HIV on regions involved in auditory function.MethodsWithin a Bayesian statistical framework, we used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to map FC in the CAS as well as between CAS regions and non-auditory regions of 11-year-old CPHIV. …”
