Major Traumatic Injury and Exposure to Mitochondrial-Derived Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns Promotes Neutrophil Survival Accompanied by Stabilisation of the Anti-Apoptotic Pr... by Thomas Nicholson, Michael Macleod, Antonio Belli, Janet M. Lord, Jon Hazeldine

“…To identify factors that may promote neutrophil survival post-trauma, neutrophils from healthy controls (HCs) were cultured with mitochondrial-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs) or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Accompanied by reduced mitochondrial membrane depolarisation, delayed Mcl-1 turnover, and reduced caspase-3 activation, the ex vivo lifespan of neutrophils from trauma patients was significantly enhanced in a protein synthesis-independent manner within minutes to hours after injury. …”

Life history traits explain the intra-seasonal abundance pattern of rare land snail species Vertigo moulinsiana: bridging the theory-application gap by Anna M. Lipińska, Adam M. Ćmiel, Dariusz Halabowski

“…In this study, we develop a population dynamics model to explore how life history traits, including overwintering strategies and seasonal reproduction, shape the intra-seasonal abundance patterns of V. moulinsiana. Using empirical data and simulated snow cover disappearance scenarios, we demonstrate the critical role of snow as an insulating layer that maintains stable subnivium (a microhabitat located at the interface between the snowpack and the ground) conditions. …”

Expression patterns of kiss2 and gpr54‐2 in Monopterus albus suggest these genes may play a role in sex reversal in fish by Ti‐Lin Yi, Meng‐Ting Pei, Dai‐Qin Yang

“…In conclusion, (a) kiss1 has been functionally replaced in M. albus; (b) the functions of gpr54‐2 in brain are not sex‐specific; (c) kiss2 appears to undergo a ‘reset’ in the expression during the sex change; and (d) sex‐specific expression patterns in the gonads indicate that these two genes may play a role in sex reversal in fish.…”
