Dual role for Headcase in hemocyte progenitor fate determination in Drosophila melanogaster. by Bayan Kharrat, Erika Gábor, Nikolett Virág, Rita Sinka, Ferenc Jankovics, Ildikó Kristó, Péter Vilmos, Gábor Csordás, Viktor Honti

“…Although overactivation of insulin/mTOR signaling normally leads to an increase in the size of the hematopoietic niche, this effect is concealed by cell death caused by hdc loss-of-function. Moreover, we describe here that hdc silencing in progenitors causes cell-autonomous ROS elevation and JNK pathway activation, resulting in decreased MZ size and differentiation of lamellocytes. …”

Fatty acid oxidation is essential for egg production by the parasitic flatworm Schistosoma mansoni. by Stanley Ching-Cheng Huang, Tori C Freitas, Eyal Amiel, Bart Everts, Erika L Pearce, James B Lok, Edward J Pearce

“…We show that oxygen consumption rates (OCR) and egg production are significantly diminished by pharmacologic inhibition of carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 (CPT1), which catalyzes a rate limiting step in fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) and by genetic loss of function of acyl CoA synthetase, which complexes with CPT1 and activates long chain FA for use in FAO, and of acyl CoA dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the first step in FAO within mitochondria. …”

Les quatre éléments dans « Karain » de Joseph Conrad : du mythe au manque by Catherine Delmas

“…The four elements first highlight the motif of human illusions and contribute to the symbolic function of the East ; they also serve a literary topos by enhancing the tragic muthos which is then immediately deconstucted ; the orientalist mode of representation is also called into question by impressionism, conveyed by fragmentation and the relativity of the point of view. …”

KATNAL1 regulation of sertoli cell microtubule dynamics is essential for spermiogenesis and male fertility. by Lee B Smith, Laura Milne, Nancy Nelson, Sharon Eddie, Pamela Brown, Nina Atanassova, Moira K O'Bryan, Liza O'Donnell, Danielle Rhodes, Sara Wells, Diane Napper, Patrick Nolan, Zuzanna Lalanne, Michael Cheeseman, Josephine Peters

“…We demonstrate that Katnal1 is expressed in testicular Sertoli cells (SC) from 15.5 days post-coitum (dpc) and that, consistent with chemical disruption models, loss of function of KATNAL1 leads to male-specific infertility through disruption of SC microtubule dynamics and premature exfoliation of spermatids from the seminiferous epithelium. …”

“…In order to solve the problems of cloud type recognition of the ground-based cloud such as complex target candidate box selection and slow detection speed, a recognition method of cloud types in ground-based cloud map based on anchor free is proposed.First, the paper takes Center Net as the basic architecture of cloud type recognition.Based on thermodynamic diagrams prediction, key point prediction, center point prediction and candidate box prediction, a anchor free ground-based cloud type detection process is constructed.And then, the main network, loss function and candidate box prediction method of cloud type recognition model are designed.Finally, take CenterNet Resdcn101 as the model, compared the algorithm recognition accuracy, candidate boxes predict confidence and identify speed with mainstream target recognition methods and cloud type recognition method The results showed that the cloud type recognition method of the paper has higher recognition accuracy and faster recognition speed.…”
