Bipartite Fluctuations of Critical Fermi Surfaces by Xiao-Chuan Wu

“…We find that charge fluctuations F exhibit distinct leading-order scalings across the transition: F∼Llog(L) in Landau Fermi liquids and F∼L in charge insulators, where L is the linear size of the subsystem. In composite Fermi liquids, under certain conditions, we also identify a universal constant term -f(θ)|σ_{xy}|/(2π) when the subsystem geometry contains a sharp corner, where f(θ) denotes a function of the corner angle and σ_{xy} is the Hall conductivity. …”

Transcriptomic Analysis of the Hepatopancreas in the Sex-Related Size Differences of <i>Macrobrachium nipponense</i> by Yabing Wang, Guangde Qiao, Yanfeng Yue, Shiming Peng, Hongtuo Fu

“…The genes encoding matrix metalloproteinase-9 (<i>MM9</i>), Ribosome-binding protein 1 (<i>RBP1</i>), Aly/REF export factor 2, and hematological and neurological expressed 1 (<i>HN1</i>) may play a role in modulating the sex-related size differences observed in <i>M. nipponense</i>. Clusters of orthologous groups and gene ontology functional analysis demonstrated that the DEGs for sex-related size in <i>M.nipponense</i> were associated with various biological functions. …”

CNR1 genotype influences HDL-cholesterol response to change in dietary fat intake. by Heidi J Silver, Kevin D Niswender, Charles D Keil, Lan Jiang, Qiping Feng, Sally Chiu, Ronald M Krauss, Russell A Wilke

“…<h4>Conclusion</h4>Variability within the CNR1 gene locus contributes to gender-related differences in the HDL-cholesterol response to change in dietary fat intake. Functional characterization of this relationship in vitro may offer insights that potentially yield therapeutic guidance targeting dietary macronutrient composition, a direction much needed in the current epidemic of obesity.…”

Effect of eicosapentaenoic acid on innate immune responses in Atlantic salmon cells infected with infectious salmon anemia virus by Ingrid Holmlund, Samira Ahmadi, Bente Ruyter, Tone-Kari Østbye, Marta Bou, Tor Gjøen

“…This indicates that high levels of EPA concentration have an independent effect on gene expression in virus-infected cells, not observed at lower levels of EPA. Analyses of enriched biological processes and molecular functions (GO and KEGG analysis) revealed that EPA had a limited impact on the innate immune system alone, but that many processes were affected by EPA when cells were virus infected. …”
